I'll tell you one thing though, it's very interesting to see where the genre came from and some of the awesome bands that made it all happen.

PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
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.

From Crass to Thrash, to Squeakers: the Suspicious Turn to Metal in UK Punk and Hardcore Post ‘85
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by De Montfort University Open Research Archive From Crass to Thrash, to Squeakers: The Suspicious Turn to Metal in UK Punk and Hardcore Post ‘85. Otto Sompank I always loved the simplicity and visceral feel of all forms of punk. From the Pistols take on the New York Dolls rock, or the UK Subs aggressive punk take on rhythm and blues. The stark reality Crass and the anarchist-punk scene was informed with aspects of obscure seventies rock too, for example Pete Wright’s prog bass lines in places. Granted. Perhaps the most famous and intense link to rock and punk was Motorhead. While their early output and LP’s definitely had a clear nod to punk (Lemmy playing for the Damned), they appealed to most punks back then with their sheer aggression and intensity. It’s clear Motorhead and Black Sabbath influenced a lot of street-punk and the ferocious tones of Discharge and their Scandinavian counterparts such as Riistetyt, Kaaos and Anti Cimex. The early links were there but the influence of late 1970s early 80s NWOBM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) and street punk, Discharge etc. in turn influenced Metallica, Anthrax and Exodus in the early eighties. Most of them can occasionally be seen sporting Discharge, Broken Bones and GBH shirts on their early record-sleeve pictures. Not only that, Newcastle band Venom were equally influential in the mix of new genre forms germinating in the early 1980s. One of the early examples of the incorporation of rock and metal into the UK punk scene came from Discharge.

Brutal Belonging in Melbourne's Grindcore Scene
BRUTAL BELONGING IN MELBOURNE’S GRINDCORE SCENE Rosemary Overell ABSTRACT I suggest sociality depends on affective encounters between individuals in particular spaces. Through an ethnography of Melbourne’s grindcore death-metal scene, I examine how belonging in a music scene is constituted by scene members’ affective encounters. In particular, I suggest that a ‘‘brutal’’ disposition is necessary for cultivating the affective intensities necessary for experiencing belonging in the scene. Using scene members’ own under- standings of ‘‘brutal’’ I shift from iconic representations of ‘‘brutality,’’ common in other metal scenes, toward a brutal affect. Here, brutality is experienced as a set of embodied intensities, difficult to articulate, but crucial to understanding how scene members cultivate belonging – in the grindcore scene, and in scenic spaces. INTRODUCTION It seemed like, things were moving forward through y people’s hard work and you could y really get involved and make something of it. y There was a lot of support for new bands and just new people in general y ‘cause y it’s not really a very cool scene.

There’s not a very definable style, at least not in Melbourne anyway.

Football, Cider and Tape Recorders. Amebix on the Arise Tour, Manchester, November 1985
Football, Cider and Tape Recorders. Amebix on the Arise Tour, Manchester, November 1985. Alastair ‘Gords’ Gordon. From 1984-6 we used to hang around at band practices at The Nottingham Queens Walk Community Centre. These practices were usually on a Friday and a microcosm of what would later be some of the key bands in the UK hardcore scene. Bands such as Concrete Sox, Heresy and others used to practice regularly with a small audience of local punks. These were great times and I got to meet a few people who I’m still in bands with to this day. Most notably, Kalv and Steve who were then of Heresy and Victim, John March of Concrete Sox. Also a frequent visitor to the practices was Digby Pearson later founder of Earache records. Other visitors were Chaos UK and Disorder. Gabba, the guitarist of Chaos UK had left the Nottingham scum punks Seats of Piss to join them. Late that summer I overheard Gabba and Chaos talking about how good the new Amebix record sounded. I was a massive fan of the band and missed their earlier Nottingham gigs so they were an enigma to me. Beyond their first track on Crass label Bullshit Detector rough and ready compilation record, their first two 7” records Who’s the Enemy? and Winter and the awesome No Sanctuary 12” ep. Even back then this band were certainly different to the anarcho punk output with songs about talking that early Killing Joke sound and applying it to accounts of madness, human factory farming and non vegetarian ideals.

And the Shifting Geography of the Music Industry Student
….. and the Shifting Geography of the Music Industry Student: Philippe Soret Student Number: 4169808 Advisor: Dr. Huib Ernste Date: June 30, 2013 Word Count: 33,159 1 Preface Relapse Records has been a central pillar of my life since I started working there at age 18. My love of challenging and difficult music has been a part of my life even longer though. As I have worked in the industry through the years, I’ve seen many changes and developments that have been both alarming and reassuring from music that was previously relegated to the underground now being more freely accessible but, at the same time, watching revenue streams shrink on a seemingly weekly basis. This thesis is a manifestation of my desire to better understand the music industry through the eyes of one record label, and bring my experiences and ground these experiences in geographic thought and study. My biggest help in this has been my wife, Laura, who has quietly let me work 80-hour weeks with rarely a complaint. Without her, this thesis could not have been completed.

A number of grindcore musicians are committed to political Choosing Death: The Improbable History of Death Metal & Grindcore ethical causes, generally leaning towards the far left in connection to grindcore's punk roots. Whether you just bought your first Carcass album, or were one of the dudes in the pit at those formative Napalm Death shows in Birmingham, there's guaranteed enjoyment in picking up this book.

Reconsidering Carnival in Heavy Metal Culture
HEAVY METAL HUMOR: CONSIDERING CARNIVAL IN HEAVY METAL CULTURE A Thesis by GARY BOTTS POWELL Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Chair of Committee, Harris M. Berger Committee Members, Judith Hamera Patrick Burkart Jayson Beaster-Jones Head of Department, Claudia Nelson August 2013 Major Subject: Performance Studies Copyright 2013 Gary Botts Powell ABSTRACT What can 15th century France and heavy metal have in common? In Heavy Metal Humor, Gary Powell explores metal culture through the work of Mikael Bakhtin‘s “carnivalesque theory.” Describing the practice of inverting commonly understood notions of respectability and the increasing attempts to normalize them, Bakhtin argues that carnivals in Francois Rabelais’ work illustrate a sacrilegious uprising by the peasant classes during carnival days against dogmatic aristocrats. Powell asserts that Rabelais’ work describes cartoonish carnivals that continue in as exaggerated themes and tropes into other literary styles, such as comedy and horror that ultimately inform modern-day metal culture. To highlight the similarities of Bakhtin’s interpretation of Rabelais’ work to modern-day metal culture, Powell draw parallels to between Bakhtin’s carnivalesque theory and metal culture with two different, exemplary “humorous” metal performances, GWAR and Anal Cunt. Powell chooses “humorous” metal groups because, to achieve their humor, they exaggerate tropes, and behaviors in metal culture. To this end, Powell explores metal culture through GWAR, a costumed band who sprays their audience with fake body fluids as they decapitate effigies. He points out examples of Rabelais’ work which Bakhtin uses to describe carnivalesque tropes, and threads them to modern-day metal culture.

Zur Diskursivierung des Grindcore Einleitung und grundsätzliche Fragestellungen Sobald Grindcore, Grind oder lediglich die Endsilbe -grind vorkommt, ist für Metal- oder Punk-Fans klar, dass hier von extremen musikalischen Auswüch- sen die Rede ist. Grindcore hat das Wesen eines rhetorischen Sinnbildes und fungiert als Metapher in einer Rhetorik, die der Musik das Attribut ›brutal‹ zuordnet. Dieser Begriff genießt zwar bis dato eine äußerst inflationäre Ver- wendung im Metal-Diskurs und steht in der Metal-Primärliteratur gleichbe- rechtigter Weise neben etablierten Genrebegriffen, wie etwa Death Metal oder Black Metal, wenn auch als äußerst eng definierter Genrebegriff, doch bleibt er in der (wissenschaftlichen) Sekundärliteratur marginalisiert oder gänzlich un- berücksichtigt.
