Crushing Swedish Metal with a Modernized, Yet Classic Thrash-Inspired Attack! Crushing Swedish metal with a modernized, yet classic thrash-inspired attack! WARFECT is one of the most convincing yet underrated acts in the Swedish metal scene. Straight from the Gothenborg underground, the three-piece carries their full potential to the next level with their fourth full length album Spectre of Devastation! Their debut on Napalm Records lifts the curtain and unveils a true thrash metal engine. Straight away the first notes of “Pestilence” state clear that this wrecking machine has not come to take prisoners. The Swedish artillery strikes in the tradition of Kreator, Legion Of The Damned and old school American thrash metal and paves its way with uncompromisingly driving blasts and smashing drums. “Left To Rot” mixes a blackened attitude to the Thrash outfit, while “Into The Fray” leads back to the origins of the genre by implementing fast screaming guitar tunes. The eight songs of Spectre of Devastation convince with on point production and the great mastering skills of Grammy winning producer Flemming Rasmussen, who burst onto the scene by working on Rainbow’s Difficult To Cure and Metallica’s all time genre classics Ride The Lightning, Masters Of Puppets and ...And Justice For All, before he won the Grammy for his work on the legendary single “One”. The exceptional cover artwork is illustrated by leading German cover artwork designer Andreas Marschall, known for his work for bands like King Diamond, Kreator, Sodom, Obituary or Blind Guardian, to just name a few. This Thrash Metal powerhouse pushes itself through spheres of pure heaviness directly into your core! Kompromisslos treibender Old School Thrash Metal aus Schweden Die schwedische Old School Thrash Abrissbirne WARFECT ist fraglos einer der vielversprechendsten schwedischen Metal Acts unserer Zeit. Direkt aus dem Göteborger Underground kommend, schafft es das Trio mit seinem vierten Long Player Spectre Of Devastation den nächsten Schritt zu gehen. Das erste Album unter dem Banner von Napalm Records enthüllt eine gewaltige Thrash-Metal- Maschinerie. Der Opening Track "Pestilence" macht von Anfang an keine Gefangenen. Die schwedische Abrissbirne schlägt in der Tradition von Kreator, Legion Of The Damned und amerikanischem old school Thrash Metal kompromisslos zu und bahnt sich mit treibenden Blasts und schmetternden Drums ihren Weg. "Left To Rot" mischt dem Thrash-Outfit eine ordentliche Prise Schwärze zu, während "Into The Fray" mit schnellen und kreischenden Gitarren zu den Ursprüngen des Genres zurückführt. Die acht Songs von Spectre of Devastation überzeugen mit einer punktgenauen Produktion und die großartigen Mastering-Fähigkeiten des Grammy Gewinners Flemming Rasmussen, der mit Rainbows Difficult To Cure und Metallicas absoluten Klassikern Ride The Lightning, Masters Of Puppets und …And Justice For All das Genre aufgemischt hat, bevor er den Grammy für die Produktion der legendären Single “One“ gewann. Abgerundet wird das Album von einem großartigen Cover-Artwork, illustriert von Andreas Marschall, einem der herausragenden deutschen Artwork-Designer, bekannt für seine Arbeit mit Bands wie King Diamond, Kreator, Sodom, Obituary oder Blind Guardian, um nur einige zu nennen. Dieses Thrash Metal-Kraftwerk bahnt sich mit unwiderstehlicher Aggression direkt in dein Hirn! .

  • Current Directions in Metal Studies
    7 The Unforgiven A Reception Study of Metallica Fans and ‘Sell-Out’ Accusations1 Eric Smialek During the 1980s, as Metallica grew in popularity, their quick tempos and complex song structures became markers of distinction from other metal bands, suggesting that they were able to achieve popularity without con- forming to popular song-writing norms. Metallica’s apparent refusal to compromise resulted in an aura of authenticity that would inflate the band’s underground prestige throughout the 1980s. The next decade of Metallica’s career included a series of moves that increasingly alienated many of the band’s fans, tarnishing its reputation to the point where high-profile metal musicians voiced opposition to the band (Christe, 2003, pp. 307, 312–313), and some writers spoke of Metallica’s inauthenticity as though it were a truism. Deena Weinstein (2000), for instance, after detailing many of the changes that fans reacted against, casu- ally referred to a 1998 Metallica concert as a ‘sell-out show’ in her historical summary of metal in the 1990s (p. 290). These reactions would only intensify into the new millennium with Metallica’s lawsuit against Napster, a legal battle that explicitly pitted the band against many of its fans in a way that made Metallica seem antago- nistic, ungrateful, and hypocritical—and perhaps most importantly, as I will later argue, conspicuously wealthy. Controversy surrounding Metallica has lasted well over two decades, touching on multiple issues of sensitivity for fans, including the significance of genre and its relationship with categories of identity, the effect of commerce on musical creativity and artistic moti- vation, and the expectations placed on musicians regarding stylistic change, notions of loyalty, beliefs about authenticity, and the process of aging within a subculture that prizes rebellion.

    Global Metal Music and Culture This book defines the key ideas, scholarly debates, and research activities that have contributed to the formation of the international and interdisciplinary field of Metal Studies. Drawing on insights from a wide range of disciplines including popular music, cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, philos- ophy, and ethics, this volume offers new and innovative research on metal musicology, global/local scenes studies, fandom, gender and metal identity, metal media, and commerce. Offering a wide-ranging focus on bands, scenes, periods, and sounds, contributors explore topics such as the riff-based song writing of classic heavy metal bands and their modern equivalents, and the musical-aesthetics of Grindcore, Doom and Drone metal, Death metal, and Progressive metal. They interrogate production technologies, sound engi- neering, album artwork and band promotion, logos and merchandising, t-shirt and jewelry design, and the social class and cultural identities of the fan communities that define the global metal music economy and subcul- tural scene. The volume explores how the new academic discipline of metal studies was formed, while also looking forward to the future of metal music and its relationship to metal scholarship and fandom. With an international range of contributors, this volume will appeal to scholars of popular music, cultural studies, social psychology and sociology, as well as those interested in metal communities around the world.

  • Interview with Lars Ulrich of Metallica
    This interview with Lars Ulrich, of Metallica, was conducted by the Library of Congress on May 27, 2016. Lars Urlich of Metallica LOC: As you geared up to make the album “Master of Puppets,” did you have something specific that you wanted to do with this album that was different from, say, your previous release” Ride the Lightning” (1984)? LARS ULRICH: I think, looking back at those records and years, they were all very instinctual. And we continued that--going on instinct. We were fortune to have started out very young. We made our first record when I was 19; our second when I was 20. So I was just 21 when we made “Master of Puppets.” We were very impulsive. I don’t think we thought about it too much or tried to intellectualize it. I think the biggest difference between our first album, “Kill ‘Em All,” and where we were when we made “Master of Puppets,” is that we had added two additional writers and players to the band and they were very gifted. They brought to us a different kind of educational background and perspective. It greatly broadened us. We were allowed to cast our net wider, so to speak, creatively. We could look at everything a little differently and experiment more. We had, earlier, found a dynamic and balance, with the earlier record, that we continued with on “Master of Puppets.” I think, on “Master of Puppets,” we felt comfortable enough to work in different melodies, try acoustic, even try ballads. I think we embraced a far more dynamic range.
