  • “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson
    The Interplay of Authority, Masculinity, and Signification in the “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Holly Johnson ii Abstract This thesis will deconstruct the "grunge killed '80s metal” narrative, to reveal the idealization by certain critics and musicians of that which is deemed to be authentic, honest, and natural subculture. The central theme is an analysis of the conflicting masculinities of glam metal and grunge music, and how these gender roles are developed and reproduced. I will also demonstrate how, although the idealized authentic subculture is positioned in opposition to the mainstream, it does not in actuality exist outside of the system of commercialism. The problematic nature of this idealization will be examined with regard to the layers of complexity involved in popular rock music genre evolution, involving the inevitable progression from a subculture to the mainstream that occurred with both glam metal and grunge. I will illustrate the ways in which the process of signification functions within rock music to construct masculinities and within subcultures to negotiate authenticity. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my academic advisor Dr. William Echard for his continued patience with me during the thesis writing process and for his invaluable guidance. I also would like to send a big thank you to Dr. James Deaville, the head of Music and Culture program, who has given me much assistance along the way.

  • Historical Development, Sound Aesthetics and Production Techniques of Metal’S Distorted Electric Guitar
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Huddersfield Repository Historical development, sound aesthetics and production techniques of metal’s distorted electric guitar Jan-Peter Herbst Abstract The sound of the distorted electric guitar is particularly important for many metal genres. It contributes to the music’s perception of heaviness, serves as a distinguishing marker, and is crucial for the power of productions. This article aims to extend the research on the distorted metal guitar and on metal music production by combining both fields of interest. By the means of isolated guitar tracks of original metal recordings, 10 tracks in each of the last five decades served as sample for a historical analysis of metal guitar aesthetics including the aspects tuning, loudness, layering and spectral composition. Building upon this insight, an experimental analysis of 287 guitar recordings explored the effectiveness and effect of metal guitar production techniques. The article attempts to provide an empirical ground of the acous- tics of metal guitar production in order to extend the still rare practice-based research and metal-ori- ented production manuals. Keywords: guitar, distortion, heaviness, production, history, aesthetics Introduction With the exception of genres like black metal that explicitly value low-fidelity aesthetics (Ha- gen 2011; Reyes 2013), the powerful effect of many metal genres is based on a high production quality. For achieving the desired heaviness, the sound of the distorted electric guitar is partic- ularly relevant (Mynett 2013). Although the guitar’s relevance as a sonic icon and its function as a distinguishing marker of metal’s genres have not changed in metal history (Walser 1993; Weinstein 2000; Berger and Fales 2005), the specific sound aesthetics of the guitar have varied substantially.

    LIVE TO THE METAL MUSIC ŽIVI UZ METAL MUZIKU Autori: JOVANA KAZIMIROVIĆ IVA NICULOVIĆ VIII razred, OŠ “Branko Radičević” Negotin Regionalni Centar za talente Bor Mentor: VESNA PRVULOVIĆ prof. Engleskog jezika i književnosti, OŠ “Branko Radičević” Negotin Negotin, aprila 2013. godine 1 Contents Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………3 Summary…………………………………………………………………………………..4 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………..5 Metal music………………………………………………………………………………..6 Sub-genres of Heavy Metal……………………………………………………………….10 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………………...15 2 Abstract Metal is a movement of music that started essentially with the heavy rock movements. While there was not actual metal during that time, bands were experimenting with heaviness, and it was no surprise that the first metal band (Black Sabbath) was soon to be born. Metal music is a worldwide form of music that has held the attention of younger generations for over 50 years. Metal music has branched off into different sub genres, but one thing is the main motivator for the survival of metal music through all the generations. That is a need for younger generations to rebel against the status quo, to express themselves and their frustration of an outdated way of life. This paper presents the development of metal music from the 1960s to the present day, with special emphasis on some of the metal sub-genre of music. Originally, metal was one genre. But as time passed more genres were born. Today metal is a global movement and has hundreds of sub-genres such as Heavy, Death, Black, Doom, Power, Thrash, Speed, Folk, Industrial, Symphonic, Gothic & Nu-Metal, to name just a few. They range from sheer brutality to smooth and melodic rhythms.

  • Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal *
    Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal * Stephen S. Hudson NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.21.27.1/mto.21.27.1.hudson.php KEYWORDS: Heavy Metal, Formenlehre, Form Perception, Embodied Cognition, Corpus Study, Musical Meaning, Genre ABSTRACT: This article presents a new framework for analyzing compound AABA form in heavy metal music, inspired by normative theories of form in the Formenlehre tradition. A corpus study shows that a particular riff-based version of compound AABA, with a specific style of buildup intro (Aas 2015) and other characteristic features, is normative in mainstream styles of the metal genre. Within this norm, individual artists have their own strategies (Meyer 1989) for manifesting compound AABA form. These strategies afford stylistic distinctions between bands, so that differences in form can be said to signify aesthetic posing or social positioning—a different kind of signification than the programmatic or semantic communication that has been the focus of most existing music theory research in areas like topic theory or musical semiotics. This article concludes with an exploration of how these different formal strategies embody different qualities of physical movement or feelings of motion, arguing that in making stylistic distinctions and identifying with a particular subgenre or style, we imagine that these distinct ways of moving correlate with (sub)genre rhetoric and the physical stances of imagined communities of fans (Anderson 1983, Hill 2016).

During the 1960s, British hard rock bands and the American guitarist Jimi Hendrix developed a more distorted guitar sound and heavier drums and bass that led to a separation of heavy metal from other blues-based rock. Albums by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in 1970 codified the new genre, which was marked by distorted guitar ‘power chords’, heavy riffs, wailing vocals and virtuosic solos by guitarists and drummers.

  • 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.

Mikko Josefsson 2014 Konstnärlig kandidatexamen Musik Luleå tekniska universitet Institutionen för konst, kommunikation och Lärande Jag kan känna lukten av någonting återskapat! Att undersöka hur man kan gå till väga för att återskapa en viss ljudbild med egna kompositioner Mikko Josefsson Handledare: Anna Wedin och Åsa Unander-Scharin Luleå Tekniska Universitet Examensarbete 2014 Konstnärlig kandidatexamen, musik Abstrakt Hur svårt kan det vara att återskapa samma ljudbild och känsla som på den skiva som du tycker att låter bäst även om du inte har tillgång till exakt samma utrustning och lokaler? En stor del av varför jag tycker att en skiva är bra är ljudbilden. Det låter kanske banalt men ta till exempel den svenska dödsmetall-scenen i slutet av 80-talet och början 90-talet. Både Entombeds Left Hand Path (1990) och Dismembers Like An Everflowing Stream (1991) har det välkända Sunlight-soundet som är en ljudbild som band i dödsmetall-genren än idag försöker återskapa. Under fem utspridda dagar spelade vi in sex stycken av mina egenkomponerade låtar och genom gedigen efterforskning ville vi försöka återskapa samma känsla och ljudbild som på skivan By The Grace of God av The Hellacopters. Jag lärde mig att utnyttja mitt gehör och allmänna musikkunskaper för att återskapa en annan ljudbild och tycker att slutresultatet blev så bra som det kunde bli med tanke på bristen på information. 2 Förord För det första vill jag tacka musikerna för att de ville ställa upp och spela på detta projekt: - David Ericsson, bas - Anton Gustafsson, gitarr - Erik Björksten, gitarr - Sebastian Jacobson, sång Ett enormt tack till Jonas Mattsson som spelade in och mixade låtarna och fungerade som min hjälpproducent under inspelningsprocessen.

    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 04.10.2013 Dregen und Imperial State Electric im Dezember gemeinsam auf Tour Zwei Chefrocker aus Schweden gehen gemeinsam mit ihren Bands auf Tour: Seit der Gründung der Hellacopters Mitte der 90er spielen Andreas Tyrone Dregen und Nicke Andersson eine wichtige Rolle in der nationalen und internationalen Rockszene. Dregen war unter anderem bei den Backyard Babies aktiv, gründete die genannten Hellacopters mit, spielte in der Supergroup Super$hit666, war Gitarrist bei Michael Monroe und veröffentlichte jüngst seine erste Soloplatte. Nicke war Mitglied der Hellacopters, von Entombed und gründete vor ein paar Jahren zusammen mit Dolph de Borst von den Datsuns die Rockband Imperial State Electric (deren neuestes Album „Reptile Brain Music“ im November erscheint). Obwohl die beiden dicke Freunde und Trinkkumpanen sind, standen sie seit 1998 nicht mehr zusammen auf der Bühne. Aber das wird sich demnächst ändern: Das deftige Duo geht im Dezember zusammen auf Doppel-Headline-Tour, und beide haben bestätigt, dass sie einiges vorhaben und die Fans mit spontanen und geplanten Aktionen überraschen wollen. Dregen meint dazu: „Ich kann es kaum erwarten, dieses Paket zu schnüren. Ich habe mit Nicke seit der Trennung von den Hellacopters nicht mehr zusammengespielt“, und Nicke ergänzt: „Wir kommen zwar mit zwei unterschiedlichen Bands, aber wer weiß schon, was am Ende des Abends passiert. Diese Tour wird so vollgestopft mit High-Energy-Rock’n’Roll sein, dass ich sie um nichts in der Welt verpassen möchte.“ Wenn das keine hervorragende Gelegenheit ist, zwei Skandinaviern beim Lautgeben zuzuhören! 06.12.2013 Köln - Werkstatt 07.12.2013 Hamburg - Knust 08.12.2013 Bochum - Matrix 09.12.2013 Berlin - Magnet 10.12.2013 München – Backstage Tickets gibt es ab dem 4.
