Vom 6. bis 9. Juni feiern wieder mehr als 20000 Gothics aus aller Welt DIE internationale Familienzusammenkunft der Gothic-Szene. Über die ganze Stadt verteilt werden etwa 200 Bands und Künstler auftreten und dabei erneut alle Spielarten dunkler Musik aufführen: Von Future-Pop bis Goth-Metal, von EBM bis Apocalyptic Folk, von mittelalterlichen Klängen bis zu elegischem Post Punk. Neben bekannten Szenegrößen laden weniger bekannte, wirkliche „Undergroundbands“ und Künstler aus den Randbereichen der Szenemusik zu musikalischen Neuentdeckungen ein: So kann man sich diesmal etwa davon überzeugen, daß auch die Großcousine von Kate Bush engelsgleich singen kann, oder daß auch aus Australien richtig guter Gothic-Rock kommt. Die Konzerte und Veranstaltungen des WGT finden an mehr als 30 Orten in ganz Leipzig statt, so etwa in den altehrwürdigen Gemäuern der Moritzbastei, in der neo-antiken Kuppelhalle Volkspalasts oder auch mal im Freien, wie auf der Parkbühne. Auch wundervolle klassische Musik gehört erneut zum WGT-Programm, darunter Oper, Musical, Kammermusik und Mozarts Requiem als Ballett. Einen Bogen von klassischer zu moderner Musik schlägt diesmal „Gregor Seyffert's Wagner_reloaded“. In diesem beeindruckenden Spektakel werden Leben und Werk Richard Wagners erlebbar gemacht durch Tanz, Artistik, Objekttheater, audiovisuelle Medien und ein Live-Konzert der finnischen Metal-Band Apocalyptica im Zusammenwirken mit dem MDR-Sinfonieorchester und dem MDR-Rundfunkchor. Für die exklusive Vorab-Schau am Freitag, dem 6.Juni, sind 600 Karten für WGT-Besucher vor Ort verfügbar. Für die Vorstellungen am 7. und 8.Juni gibt es unter dem nachfolgendem Verweis weitere attraktive Sonderangebote: http://wave-gotik-treffen.musikfeste.de Doch Musik ist ja längst nicht alles, was das WGT zu bieten hat. Es wird einen romantischen Mittelaltermarkt geben, das „Heidnische Dorf“, auch Lesungen, Ausstellungen, Theater und Filmaufführungen sind Teil des Programms. In historischer Gewandung versammelt man sich zu einem Viktorianischen Picknick im Park. Ein riesiger Gothic-Markt bietet so ziemlich alles feil, was das Szeneherz begehrt. In unzähligen Klubs laden Szene-DJs aus aller Welt bis zum Morgengrauen zum Tanzen ein. Bei der beliebten Fetischparty des Treffens feiert man sehr freizügig, hier wird beim Einlaß streng auf entsprechend angemessene Kleidung geachtet. Ein Bummel durch die Leipziger Innenstadt lohnt sich besonders für Kunst- und Kulturinteressierte: Der Eintritt in mehrere Leipziger Museen ist mit WGT-Bändchen frei, so etwa im Museum der Bildenden Künste, Ägyptischen Museum und in die Grassimuseen. Zudem bieten diese Museen spezielle Führungen für WGT-Besucher an. Für einen besonderen Kunstgenuß wird eine Ausstellung mit originalen Kunstwerken von HR Giger sorgen. Der EBM-Fan und weltbekannte Kriminalbiologe Mark Benecke wird uns in seinen beliebten Vorträgen auf gewohnt trocken-humorvolle Weise Einblicke in seine morbide Arbeitswelt gewähren. Zum ersten Mal findet die AMI (Auto Mobil International) in diesem Jahr während des Wave-Gotik-Treffens statt. Aus diesem Anlaß organisiert die Leipziger Messe eine exklusive Sonderschau mit historischen Bestattungsfahrzeugen sowie ein professionelles "Foto-Shooting". Daß schwarze Kultur und christlicher Glaube sich nicht ausschließen, zeigt der seit jeher gut besuchte Szenegottesdienst des WGT in der Peterskirche. Der große Treffen-Zeltplatz liegt auf dem Gelände der ehemaligen Landwirtschaftsmesse „agra“ am Rande der Stadt. Mit den Obsorgekarten, die zum Zelten berechtigen, bekommt man auch den Pfingstboten, das ausführliche WGT- Programmbuch. Die öffentlichen Nahverkehrsmittel der Stadt können von Freitagmorgen bis Dienstagmittag alle WGT- Gäste kostenlos benutzen. Das Beste am Wave-Gotik-Treffen aber ist seine einzigartige, magische Atmosphäre, die man überall in Leipzig spüren kann. Gruftis aus aller Herren Länder feiern entspannt und friedlich, erfreuen sich an allen Facetten ihrer Subkultur, genießen ihr Zusammensein und tauchen die Straßen und Plätze einer ganzen Stadt in vielfältiges Schwarz.

  • Zfwtvol. 9 No. 3 (2017) 269-288
    ZfWT Vol. 9 No. 3 (2017) 269-288 FEMINIST READING OF GOTHIC SUBCULTURE: EMPOWERMENT, LIBERATION, REAPPROPRIATION Mikhail PUSHKIN∗ Abstract: Shifting in and out of public eye ever since its original appearance in the 1980ies, Gothic subculture, music and aesthetics in their impressive variety have become a prominent established element in global media, art and culture. However, understanding of their relation to female gender and expression of femininity remains ambiguous, strongly influenced by stereotypes. Current research critically analyses various distinct types of Gothic subculture from feminist angle, and positively identifies its environment as female-friendly and empowering despite and even with the help of its strongly sexualized aesthetics. Although visually geared towards the male gaze, Gothic subcultural environment enables women to harness, rather than repress the power of attraction generated by such aesthetics. Key words: Subculture, Feminism, Gothic. INTRODUCTION Without a doubt, Gothic subculture is a much-tattered subject, being at the centre of both popular mass media with its gossip, consumerism and commercialization, as well as academia with diverse papers debasing, pigeonholing and even defending the subculture. Furthermore, even within the defined, feminist, angle, a thorough analysis of Gothic subculture would require a volume of doctoral dissertation to give the topic justice. This leaves one in a position of either summarizing and reiterating earlier research (a useful endeavour, however, bringing no fresh insight), or striving for a kind of fresh look made possible by the ever-changing eclectic ambivalent nature of the subculture. Current research takes the middle ground approach: touching upon earlier research only where relevant, providing a very general, yet necessary outlook on the contemporary Gothic subculture in its diversity, so as to elucidate its more relevant elements whilst focusing on the ways in which it empowers women.

  • Black Metal and Brews
    Review: Roadburn Friday 20th April 2018 By Daniel Pietersen Day Two at Roadburn ‘18 and already Never wandering off into too-loose the bar is raised pretty high, with sets jam-band territory, the quartet unleash from Black Decades, Kælan Mikla and some of the best heads-down psych- Servants of the Apocalyptic Goat Rave rock I’ve seen and the crowd absolutely being my personal highlights from the lap it up over the set’s two-hour (two day before. We’ve a lot to get through, hours!) duration. though, and these bands won’t watch themselves. The Ruins of Beverast unleash a black metal stormcloud, all martial drums and lightning-strike guitars sweeping scythe-like over the field of nodding heads in a packed Green Room. It’s a ferocious, scathing display made all the more intense by the devastatingly tight musicianship. An immense start to the Panopticon (Paul Verhagen) day and that’s Roadburn in a nutshell; What Jeremy Bentham, the 18th even the first band on one of the century English philosopher who smaller stages are world class. developed the concept of the Panopticon, would think of his creation’s musical namesake is, sadly, impossible to know. I like to think that, even if the music were beyond him, the passionate social reformer would appreciate the politically relevant sentiments of the band, something which is made most obvious on their opening selection of country- influenced tracks. Banjo and mandolin Motorpsycho (Paul Verhagen) blend with mournful voices, singing of Next door, on the Main Stage, lost families and failing factories, into Motorpsycho are working up their songs that wouldn’t be out of place on groove and creating the kind of sounds, a Steve Earle record.

  • The Commodification of Whitby Goth Weekend and the Loss of a Subculture
    View metadata, citation and similarbrought COREpapers to youat core.ac.ukby provided by Leeds Beckett Repository The Strange and Spooky Battle over Bats and Black Dresses: The Commodification of Whitby Goth Weekend and the Loss of a Subculture Professor Karl Spracklen (Leeds Metropolitan University, UK) and Beverley Spracklen (Independent Scholar) Lead Author Contact Details: Professor Karl Spracklen Carnegie Faculty Leeds Metropolitan University Cavendish Hall Headingley Campus Leeds LS6 3QU 44 (0)113 812 3608 [email protected] Abstract From counter culture to subculture to the ubiquity of every black-clad wannabe vampire hanging around the centre of Western cities, Goth has transcended a musical style to become a part of everyday leisure and popular culture. The music’s cultural terrain has been extensively mapped in the first decade of this century. In this paper we examine the phenomenon of the Whitby Goth Weekend, a modern Goth music festival, which has contributed to (and has been altered by) the heritage tourism marketing of Whitby as the holiday resort of Dracula (the place where Bram Stoker imagined the Vampire Count arriving one dark and stormy night). We examine marketing literature and websites that sell Whitby as a spooky town, and suggest that this strategy has driven the success of the Goth festival. We explore the development of the festival and the politics of its ownership, and its increasing visibility as a mainstream tourist destination for those who want to dress up for the weekend. By interviewing Goths from the north of England, we suggest that the mainstreaming of the festival has led to it becoming less attractive to those more established, older Goths who see the subculture’s authenticity as being rooted in the post-punk era, and who believe Goth subculture should be something one lives full-time.

  • Hipster Black Metal?
    Hipster Black Metal? Deafheaven’s Sunbather and the Evolution of an (Un) popular Genre Paola Ferrero A couple of months ago a guy walks into a bar in Brooklyn and strikes up a conversation with the bartenders about heavy metal. The guy happens to mention that Deafheaven, an up-and-coming American black metal (BM) band, is going to perform at Saint Vitus, the local metal concert venue, in a couple of weeks. The bartenders immediately become confrontational, denying Deafheaven the BM ‘label of authenticity’: the band, according to them, plays ‘hipster metal’ and their singer, George Clarke, clearly sports a hipster hairstyle. Good thing they probably did not know who they were talking to: the ‘guy’ in our story is, in fact, Jonah Bayer, a contributor to Noisey, the music magazine of Vice, considered to be one of the bastions of hipster online culture. The product of that conversation, a piece entitled ‘Why are black metal fans such elitist assholes?’ was almost certainly intended as a humorous nod to the ongoing debate, generated mainly by music webzines and their readers, over Deafheaven’s inclusion in the BM canon. The article features a promo picture of the band, two young, clean- shaven guys, wearing indistinct clothing, with short haircuts and mild, neutral facial expressions, their faces made to look like they were ironically wearing black and white make up, the typical ‘corpse-paint’ of traditional, early BM. It certainly did not help that Bayer also included a picture of Inquisition, a historical BM band from Colombia formed in the early 1990s, and ridiculed their corpse-paint and black cloaks attire with the following caption: ‘Here’s what you’re defending, black metal purists.

  • Exploring the Chinese Metal Scene in Contemporary Chinese Society (1996-2015)
    "THE SCREAMING SUCCESSOR": EXPLORING THE CHINESE METAL SCENE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE SOCIETY (1996-2015) Yu Zheng A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2016 Yu Zheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This research project explores the characteristics and the trajectory of metal development in China and examines how various factors have influenced the localization of this music scene. I examine three significant roles – musicians, audiences, and mediators, and focus on the interaction between the localized Chinese metal scene and metal globalization. This thesis project uses multiple methods, including textual analysis, observation, surveys, and in-depth interviews. In this thesis, I illustrate an image of the Chinese metal scene, present the characteristics and the development of metal musicians, fans, and mediators in China, discuss their contributions to scene’s construction, and analyze various internal and external factors that influence the localization of metal in China. After that, I argue that the development and the localization of the metal scene in China goes through three stages, the emerging stage (1988-1996), the underground stage (1997-2005), the indie stage (2006-present), with Chinese characteristics. And, this localized trajectory is influenced by the accessibility of metal resources, the rapid economic growth, urbanization, and the progress of modernization in China, and the overall development of cultural industry and international cultural communication. iv For Yisheng and our unborn baby! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr.

  • Arhai's Balkan Folktronica: Serbian Ethno Music Reimagined for British
    Ivana Medić Arhai’s Balkan Folktronica... DOI: 10.2298/MUZ1416105M UDK: 78.031.4 78.071.1:929 Бацковић Ј. Arhai’s Balkan Folktronica: Serbian Ethno Music Reimagined for British Market* Ivana Medić1 Institute of Musicology SASA (Belgrade) Abstract This article focuses on Serbian composer Jovana Backović and her band/project Arhai, founded in Belgrade in 1998. The central argument is that Arhai made a transition from being regarded a part of the Serbian ethno music scene (which flourished during the 1990s and 2000s) to becoming a part of the global world music scene, after Jovana Backović moved from her native Serbia to the United Kingdom to pursue an international career. This move did not imply a fundamental change of her musical style, but a change of cultural context and market conditions that, in turn, affected her cultural identity. Keywords Arhai, Jovana Backović, world music, ethno, Balkan Folktronica Although Serbian composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jovana Backović is only 34 years old, the band Arhai can already be considered her lifetime project. The Greek word ‘Arhai’ meaning ‘beginning’ or ‘ancient’ it is aptly chosen to summarise Backović’s artistic mission: rethinking tradition in contemporary context. Нer interest in traditional music was sparked by her father, himself a professional musician and performer of both traditional and popular folk music (Medić 2013). Backović founded Arhai in Belgrade in 1998, while still a pupil at music school Slavenski, and continued to perform with the band while receiving instruction in classical composition and orchestration at the Belgrade Faculty of Music. In its first, Belgrade ‘incarnation’, Arhai was a ten-piece band that developed a fusion of traditional music from the Balkans with am bient sounds and jazz-influenced improvisation, using both acoustic and electric instruments and a quartet of fe male vocalists.

Término El término New wave proviene de «new wave rock music» y significa Nueva Ola, refiriéndose a la reinterpretación de la primera ola que arrancó a principios de los 70 (nacimiento del punk-rock), es un término global para varios estilos pop/rock que nacieron a finales de la década de 1970 (específicamente en 1978) como derivado del punk y con vínculos del rock de principios de década y que evolucionó durante los años 80 (hasta aproximadamente el año 1988), proyectándose como un movimiento musical y estético (tanto en la forma de pensar, actuar, llevar el pelo o vestir). Se mantuvo prácticamente análogo al punk rock antes de ramificarse como un género distintamente identificado, incorporando música electrónica, experimental, mod, disco y pop. Posteriormente creó subgéneros propios y fusiones, el new wave nació en Inglaterra y se extendió con gran relevancia hacia EEUU y mas concretamente a Nueva York donde pasó a llamarse Post-punk y posteriormente a independizarse y diferenciarse de sus orígenes, surgió como una nueva forma de rock que amplió los límites del mismo, infundiéndole su alma a la música de los años 80 y legando para la posteridad diversas culturales.

  • Psychobilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease in Athens
    IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies Volume 5 – Issue 1 – Spring 2020 Psychobilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease in Athens Michael Tsangaris, University of Piraeus, Greece Konstantina Agrafioti, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The complexity and the bizarre nature of Psychobilly as a music genre and as a music collectivity make it very convenient for reconsidering several views in relation to subcultures, neo-tribes and scenes. More specifically, the case of Greek Psychobilly can categorically present how subcultural trends can be disseminated across gender, social classes and national borders. This study aims to trace historically the scene of Psychobilly in Athens based on typical ethnographic research and analytic autoethnography.
