Scion and the Scion logo are trademarks of Toyota Motor Corporation. 00430-ZIN01-MT Photography by greg Bojorquez trap them is a band whose sound seesaws from grind to crust-punk to black-eyed hardcore. But perhaps what really sets trap them apart is vocalist Ryan Mckenney’s epic lyrical concept, a multi-faceted story about a small town that began on the band’s 2007 full-length debut, sleepwell Deconstructor, and has continued through every song on their five subsequent releases, including their as-yet-unnamed album due out in March. Mckenney recently took a break from cleaning out trap them’s tour van in Lubbock, texas, to explain. Before we did the first record,i had an idea that was kind of similar to what i ended up doing on all our releases. i thought about making every song an extension of one person who grew up and left a small-town and basically turned into a complete abomination of every human spirit, who did everything he could do to ruin any faith in humanity. But that seemed too small and condensed for what i felt i could work with over the time of the band’s career. so i spread it out and theorized an entire town of desolate, depressed people, and what would happen if something snapped in every person all in one day—who would stay there, who would leave and what would happen to them. i decided to tell those stories secondhand, firsthand, from every aspect of small town life. i grew up in Dover, new Hampshire, so i have a pretty firm grasp on the two sides of the story, of feeling trapped in a small town and being this close to being like, F*** it. i’m gonna be a townie. i’m gonna work at the gas station and listen to whatever comes on the radio and just be happy with day to day life. or being like, i wanna get outta here. And i chose to get outta there. so what clicked in my head about doing something like this storyline is that i definitely know what it’s like to question yourself, to decide whether you’re going to do something you don’t wanna do for the rest of your life or if you’re gonna do something about it. the songs about the people who left the town are about whether they left for negative or positive reasons, and what they ended up doing. the stories about the people who stayed in the town end up being about whether they appreciate what they do there or whether they’re so miserable about being trapped that it boils up and over and they want to basically destroy the place that destroyed them. i really do feel like it’s a novelistic approach. i take references and phrases from every song and incorporate them into new songs, and i graduate the story into each new release by making sure i’m referencing a lot of things from the previous one. i never really write a whole chunk of the story at once, though. Like with many people who write, a certain idea or phrase will pop into my head and i’ll have to run to get a piece of paper and get it down as quick as i can. it might just be a line or two, but i’ll build on it afterwards. i realized on the first two records whati could do with this. i wrote those over maybe two months. nowadays, i usually have the lyrics to a record done about a year before any music is written. i give them to [guitarist] Brian [izzi] so he can get a feel for how he can work with that musically. once the music is done, i might have to rework them a little bit to fit the music, but at this point,i ’ve probably written enough for the next two full-lengths. when i started writing this stuff, i really didn’t think much of it. Coming from a punk and hardcore background, you notice that a lot of kids sing along at shows, but i don’t think the words necessarily sink in with them. But then kids started coming up to the merch table to ask me questions about the lyrics and where the story was going. i really didn’t think that was something that would get any attention. the major thing for me was that i was so impressed with Brian’s songwriting ability that i felt it would be an insult to him if i were to go through the motions and write words that weren’t given the time and respect that he gives to the music.

BENNETT PHOTOGRAPHY: GREG BOJORquEz SCION Listening to Ceremony’s third and latest album, Rohnert Park, is like taking a slingshot ride back to the early ’80s, the era when hardcore was first being forged ROCK FEST by Black Flag, Minor Threat and the Circle Jerks. Taking its name from the Northern California town where the band is from, the album is a white hot blast of attitude that follows hardcore’s long suburban tradition. It’s also arguably Ceremony’s mellowest album to date. “On the first couple of records that we did, the music and lyrics were a little bit more abrasive than they are now,” vocalist Ross Farrar explains. “When we SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 2011 first started playing shows, we got a rep as a fast, aggressive band, and more people started coming to the shows. It’s gotten a little less abrasive, maybe, but people still POMONA, CA go crazy—stage-diving, jumping off bars, throwing chairs.” “It’s like recess for people in their early twenties,” adds bassist and sometimes- guitarist Ryan Mattos. Rohnert Park is clearly the sound of a band in transition. While 2006’s Violence Violence and 2008’s Still Nothing Moves You bristle with youthful anger, Rohnert Park reveals an subtler, more nuanced hardcore outfit. “Our goals for this band are completely different than when we started,” explains guitarist Anthony Anzaldo. “I’m FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT more concerned with what I think is great music rather than just writing the fastest 20-second song I can come up with and losing my mind onstage as hard as I can.” WWW.SCION.COM/ROCK As Farrar points out, it’s just a matter of expanding one’s horizons.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Ihsahn (N) Genre: Progressive Black Metal Label: Candlelight Album Titel: Arktis
    Band: Ihsahn (N) Genre: Progressive Black Metal Label: Candlelight Album Titel: Arktis. Spielzeit: 57:31 VÖ: 08.04.2016 Über den Frontmann der legendären Band Emperor, Ihsahn, muss man nicht mehr viel sagen. Mit "Arktis." veröffentlicht der norwegische Multiinstrumentalist sein mittlerweile sechstes Soloalbum und hat sich dafür einige Gäste ins Boot geholt. So geben sich unter anderem Einar Solberg (Leprous), Matt Heafy (Trivium), Jørgen Munkeby (Shining) und der norwegische Autor Hans Herbjornsrud die Ehre, was in mir sehr hohe Erwartungen weckt. "Disassembled" steigt direkt mit einem sehr eingängigen Riff ein, während die zweite Gitarre im Hintergrund einige atmosphärische Akzente setzt. Außerdem besticht das Stück (wie einige andere auch) mit grandiosen Klargesangspassagen, welche über die sphärische Musik nahezu dahingleiten. Doch auch die düstere und rohe Seite von Ihsahn hat weiterhin seinen Anteil an den Songs und bildet so einen beeindruckenden Kontrast. Im Verlauf des Albums zeigt sich immer wieder Ihsahns experimentelle Ader, zum Beispiel in den sehr elektronischen "South Winds" und "Frail", die wirken, als hätte man gnadenlos den progressiven Gedanken von Mayhem während ihrer "Grand Declaration of War"-Zeit auf die Spitze getrieben. Doch keine Angst, "Arktis." ist kein Album, dass vor Elektronik fast platzt. Im kompletten Gegensatz dazu stehen Songs wie "Until I Too Dissolve", welches viele Hard Rock-Anleihen vorweisen kann, das vom Saxophon (gespielt von Jørgen Munkeby) durchzogene "Crooked Red Line" oder der beeindruckende 9-minütige Übersong "Til Tor Ulven", über den ich noch nicht zu viel verraten möchte. Fazit: Ihsahn schafft es ein weiteres Mal, ein abwechslungsreiches und dauerhaft fesselndes Album vorzulegen, welches durch seine experimentelle Art sicher nicht nur innerhalb der Metalszene seine Befürworter finden wird.

ABSOLUTE EDITORIAL Absolute Editorial #3 Things are coming together nicely for us here at Absolute Underground. This is starting go be fun! We’re getting into a few free shows and people are starting to send in CD’s for us to review. We’ve got a lot of new people pitching in to make this rag better than ever. Emily Kendy joins us from Vancouver and brings with her a very impressive resume (The Nerve, Discorder, Terminal City, Exclaim...). We’ll be featuring a different Vancouver based band each issue starting with scum punks the Excessives. With the new Arena and Rod Stewart having played Victoria, you can just feel that this is going to be a great year for live music around town. I’m always impressed with the turnout and energy of the younger crowds at the all-ages shows. Even if you’re old you should go check one out sometime. You might find it invigorating to jump in a circle pit of mohawked fury. It was great hanging out with the crew at Spitfire Tattoo special thanks to Rick and Amanda. Electric Frankenstein was an amazing show and just proves that Victoria gets wicked shows all the time. A big middle finger to the asshole bouncers @ Diego’s who wouldn’t let me in even though I was on the guest list and then proceeded to tell the headlining act CHOKE to “pack their shit, they weren’t going to play.” This was after two huge idiots working the door beat up CHOKE’s drummer who weighs about a buck ten soaking wet.

  • Parabstruse Interview
    Parabstruse Interview Editor’s note: This interview was originally published on Sadness By Name back in January of 2010 as “Interview with Garry Brents of Parabstruse”. Garry Brents has been a close collaborator for many years and it was an absolute delight doing this interview with him three and a half years ago. Perhaps we will do a follow up to this interview in the future! -Hey Garry. Will you quickly introduce yourself, and mention your musical background to begin with? The bands you’ve been in, including collaborations. Hello, first of all I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be interviewed. My musical background started when I was at the age of 7. I started playing piano for a few years. I didn’t enjoy it at first, but I grew to like it. I’d always try to make up something instead of learn how to play other songs. A few years later, I learned how to play the trumpet but only played for 2 years. I wish I still knew how to play. When I got into High School is the time I started thinking about writing my own music. I took bass guitar lessons for 2 years, but continued to teach myself and learn more on my own. So I’ve been playing that instrument the longest for about 9 years now. I self-taught myself guitar based on some of the knowledge from bass lessons and just feeling it out, maybe 6 years ago. The list of bands that I’ve been in (serious or not) are the following in chronological order: Ghastrah Proxiima, Garrsinn, From a Residence of Stars & Gnosis (changed to smoosz in ’08), Lunarian Sea, Darkphone, Semen Across Lips, Synthetic Onslaught, Sugar Highlands, Parabstruse, Cara Neir, They Mostly Come Out At Night, bunrage, Writhe.
