Emperor Announce Additional Performances For Immediate Release August 9, 2006 EMPEROR ANNOUNCE ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCES Notodden, Norway: After triumphantly headlining the annual Wacken Open Air Festival and completing recent capacity performances in America, Emperor today announce two additional performances for 2006. Scheduled Saturday, October 7 Emperor will headline the fifth annual Motstoy Festival in the band's hometown of Notodden. Formed in 2002 by local youth and supportive arts organizations, this year's festival will also include appearances by Red Harvest, Mortiis, She Said Destroy and Pagan's Mind, among others. ”The Motstoy festival is a non-profit organization situated in Notodden that my company Mnemosyne Productions has endorsed since its start in 2002," says vocalist/guitarist Ihsahn. "As it is a no-alcohol arrangement with no age limit, it is a great opportunity for Emperor to play a local show and at the same time give younger fans a chance to see us live.” Ticket and sponsorship information can be found at the festival's official site located at www.motstoy.com . Emperor additionally confirm their return to England for an exclusive engagement at the famed London Astoria. Scheduled Saturday, October 28 the show will feature supporting performances from Candlelight Recording artist To-Mera and Nocturnal Art Productions recording artist She Said Destroy. "It’s great to finally come back to England with Emperor," says Samoth. "England is where we first started out in the early 90’s; signing to Candlelight Records and heading out on our first real tour. We’ve always had a strong following in England, both press and fans, and we’ve built up a strong relationship throughout the years with the folks at Candlelight Records and Plastic Head, so it was a very obvious choice for us to return to the United Kingdom. All hail & see you soon!" Emperor's final album, Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire & Demise, was released October 2001. In 2004, Candlelight Records reissued the band's four genre-defining albums, Wrath of the Tyrants, In the Nightside Eclipse, Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk and IX Equilibrium; each featuring bonus footage and material previously unavailable on both European and US-licensed versions. All recordings are available as part of Candlelight's vinyl collectors series on sale at exclusive retailers worldwide or by direct purchase from the label's official webstores (European customers visit www.plastichead.com ; North American customers visit the recently launched www.candlelightrecordsusa.com ). Additional merchandise from Emperor is also available. The recently announced Emperor guitar tabulature book, Scattered Ashes: A Decade of Emperial Wrath will see worldwide release in time for the London performance. The 132-page oversized book featuring foreword and transcriptions by Ihsahn will include original tabs for thirteen Emperor classics contained on the band's 2003 compilation of the same name. # # # European media contact Darren Toms ( [email protected] ).

Méi-Ra St-Laurent: "It’s kind of in the middle": The ‘Mid-Fi’ Aesthetic: Toward a New Designation of Black Metal Aesthetic of Recording. The Case of the Québec Black Metal Scene Abstract The designation of the black metal sound as “lo-fi” by academics is problem- atic, since it doesn’t reflect the contemporary black metal production. Field- work in the Québec scene show that the members designate their sound as being “in the middle” – or mid-fi as I advocate it. In this paper, I first define “hi-fi”, “lo-fi”, “authenticity” and “mid-fi” in the context of black metal. Then, I present different black metal sound aesthetic using audio extracts, frequency analysis, spectrogram images and ethnographic data. This analysis allow better qualify black metal aesthetic production today using the Québec scene as an example. Introduction Between April 2015 and December 2017, I conducted nineteen ethnographic interviews with twenty-five members of the black metal scene in the prov- ince of Québec (Canada) as a part of my doctoral thesis in musicology1.

  • Live 4 Metal - Reviews
    Live 4 Metal - Reviews http://www.live4metal.com/reviews-602.htm Home | News | Tour News | Reviews | Live Reviews | Interviews | Black Metal | Contact Info | Cradle Of Fun | Site News Allerjen - No Guts No Glory (Psychophonic Records) Review by Marco Gaminara This UK trio harking from Manchester consists of John Dower on vocals and bass, Paul Wilkinson on guitar and vocals and drummer Paul Tarbuck. And they are damned heavy. Musically they are thrash with the occasional blast thrown in for good measure, but vocally there are coarse and guttural growls that are as low as the detuned bass guitar and then slightly higher pitched growls in the range of the guitar. Originally recorded for another label in 2006, but only after severing those ties and whatnot, did it get released now. Opener and title track "No Guts No Glory" is a statement that these guys are willing to put everything on the line to make this as heavy as possible and then they proceed to do so. A simple guitar riff over pounded drums starts "Courage Will Find You" 'til the guitars kick in with full force and step everything up a notch. A funky slap bass intro takes us to "Scorch" where the guitars assist on the tune, and dual vocals of growls and deeper growls bounce along to the staccato beat. Plodding along like a mammoth, "Anger Personified" carries itself in a way that the better Bolt Thrower tracks do, with long drawn out growls and smashed snares. Slow and melodic from the outset "The Heartbreaker" pounds into "Demise Of The Prophecy" which keeps a similar pace at first and then steps things up to a great headbanging beat.

They started as a black metal band but increasingly gave an industrial touch to their music; they will present their special project as a world exclusive at the 2013 edition of the Inferno Festival and will perform the album "Passage" (released in 1996) in its entirety! A performance not to be missed, because it is this album that established Samael on the international scene as a reference in the modern and classy black/industrial style. A unique opportunity to eventually hear "Jupiterian Vibe" and "Shining Kingdom" live! PRIMORDIAL (IRL) PRIMORDIAL is greatly influenced by the Irish origins of their members and their sound swings between Pagan, Celtic and black metal with heroic accents. The band is well known for the quality of its performances focused on the charisma of its frontman. Primordial will blast their own definition of the word "EPIC" with loads of conquering riffs.
