    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.

  • Pressemitteilung Zu Cancer Bats
    Pressemitteilung zu Cancer Bats Die Hardcore-Metal-Punks Cancer Bats präsentieren ihr sechstes Album „The Spark That Moves“ bei einem krachenden Konzert im Headcrash am 23.03. live Hamburg, November 2018 – Mit 13 Jahren Bandgeschichte hinter sich und fünf gefeierten Studioalben, drei Juno-Award-Nominierungen und unzähligen Touren rund um den Globus ist aus den kanadischen Hardcore-Metal-Punks Cancer Bats eine wohlbekannte Macht in der Welt der Heavy Music geworden. 2018 startet die Band das neuste Kapitel ihrer Karriere: Auf eigene Faust veröffentlichen sie ihr sechstes Studioalbum „The Spark That Moves“ über ihr eigenes Label Bat Skull Records. Nun wollen sie Alben nicht nur zu ihren eigenen Bedingungen aufnehmen, sondern auch auf die traditionellen Lead-Ups und Teaser-Singles verzichten – ohne jede Vorwarnung erscheint „The Spark That Moves“ in seiner Gänze am 20. April 2018 mit Vinyl und CDs. Wie dieses Album live klingt, ist am 23.03. im HeadCrash zu erleben. „Wir waren es einfach leid, zu warten“, so Frontmann Liam Joseph Cormier. „Wir haben 2017 vollständig damit verbracht, hart an diesem Album zu arbeiten, währenddessen wir Shows gespielt und mit unseren Fans geredet haben, die uns permanent gefragt haben: Pressekontakt: Erik Sabas +49 40 4133018-40 [email protected] river_concerts www.riverconcerts.de River Concerts ‚Wann kriegen wir neue Musik zu hören?‘ Warum also irgendjemanden noch länger warten lassen? Lass uns einfach das ganze Album auf einmal herausbringen“, schwärmt Cormier. „Ich weiß, dass ich als Fan einfach alles sofort hören will. Lass mich das Album jetzt gleich kaufen! Wir haben uns gefragt, wieso wir unsere Musik nicht einfach so veröffentlichen, wie wir es wollen.“ Für ihr sechstes Album ging die Band nicht nur einen neuen Weg, um ihre Musik zu veröffentlichen, sondern musste lernen, auch auf völlig neue Weise ihre Songs zu schreiben, da Schlagzeuger Mike Peters nun in Winnipeg wohnt.

  • ANTI-FLAG & SILVERSTEIN 21. Oktober 2018 Stuttgart-Wangen
    ANTI-FLAG & SILVERSTEIN 21. Oktober 2018 Stuttgart-Wangen LKA/Longhorn Gäste: Cancer Bats, Worriers Vier Bands an einem Abend? Das gibt es im Oktober, wenn ANTI-FLAG und SILVERSTEIN zusammen mit zwei weiteren special guests für sieben Konzerte nach Deutschland kommen. Im vergangen Jahr veröffentlichte das Pittsburgher Quartett ANTI-FLAG mit "American Fall" ihr zehntes und bis dato reifstes Studioalbum via Spinefarm Records. Anlass für die neue Platte war die veränderte politische Weltlage aufgrund der kontroversen Wahl des US-Präsidenten. Seit mehr als 20 Jahren setzen ANTI- FLAG mit ihren Alben politische Statements, daher ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass das auch bei "American Fall" der Fall ist. Obwohl die Band sich weiterhin treu bleiben wollte, suchte sie sich ebenso eine neue Herausforderung in der Arbeit an ihrem zehnten Werk. Der altbekannte Sound der Band entwickelte sich hin zu langsamen Grooves, kompakteren Songwriting, satteren Gitarren und größeren Melodien. Kurz: der perfekte musikalische Gegensatz zum heiklen Thema des Albums. "Wir leben in düsteren und polarisierenden Zeiten. Wir wollten unsere Message also nicht auf überhebliche oder beklemmende Art und Weise unter die Hörer bringen", berichtet Justin Sane. "Mit ein bisschen mehr Melodie lässt sich die Pille besser schlucken. So ist es wirkungsvoller und einfacher." Die zweite Größe des Abends ist SILVERSTEIN. Die Post-Hardcore Band wurde im Jahr 2000 in Burlington (Ontario, Kanada), gegründet. Seit ihrer Gründung spielte die Band bereits unter anderem als Vorband von Simple Plan und Billy Talent. Im Juli 2017 veröffentlichten SILVERSTEIN ihr neuntes Studioalbum "Dead Reflection", welches eine "Was-wäre-wenn" Version des Lebens von Shane Told (Sänger) erzählt.

I initially considered that being so close to members of the band for years that have spanned from before Pagan Altar was formed to the present day would not make me objective enough in my approach. Having been an ex-drummer with the band, in fact the first, an association that I am extremely proud of, I suppose my natural tendencies and inclinations would lean towards looking at the band through rose coloured glasses. I have therefore tried to observe and analyse the whole situation from a totally detached viewpoint, but human nature being what it is, some of my own opinions and observations have probably crept in and become incorporated within some of the analytical assumptions. I have refrained from mentioning myself in the Bio, this is not due to any pretence at a misguided view of modesty that I might have but because I genuinely feel that any major achievements made by the band were after my departure.

  • Borknagar – Winter Thrice
    Borknagar – Winter Thrice (49:39, CD, Century Media/Sony Music, 2016) Borknagar stehen seit 1996 – mithin schon seit beeindruckenden 20 Jahren – für wechselnde Besetzungen an den Gesangsmikrofonen, aber auch für Kontinuität beim Hervorbringen ihrer ganz eigenen Ausprägung progressiven Black- bzw. Folk Metals. Ihre Diskografie birgt schöne Erinnerungen wie die an „Empiricism“ (´01) oder an das ausgesprochen passend betitelte „Epic“ (´04). Das elfte Studioalbum, „Winter Thrice“, wartet sogar mit vier Sängern und in diesem Zusammenhang einem – für Genre-Fans – Sensatiönchen auf: Ulvers Kristoffer Rygg alias Garm, Bandmitglied bei den ersten beiden Borknagar-Alben, steuerte für das Titelstück Lead- und für ‚Terminus‘ Hintergrundgesang bei! Der Rest des Teams: Leitwolf Øystein Garnes Brun (Gitarre, Komposition), Andreas “ Vintersorg“ Hedlund (Gesang), Lars „Lazare“ Nedland (Keyboards, Backing vocals), Jens F. Ryland Leadgitarre, ICS Vortex Bass, Gesang (u.a. Ex-Dimmu Borgir, Arcturus) und Baard Kolstad (Schlagzeug). Gemeinsam entstanden besonders mitreißend geratene Songs mit allen liebenswerten Borknagar-Markenzeichen. Der Aufmacher ‚The Rhymes Of The Mountain‘ führt wuchtig, aber mit einem stark folkloristisch anmutenden Thema und majestätischen Chören in das Geschehen ein – kein Wunder bei dieser Sängerriege! Das Titelstück zelebriert den Wechsel zwischen wiegenden Rhythmen und sanftem Gesang einerseits und das Tempo stark beschleunigenden Parts mit schön fiesem Trollgroll andererseits besonders gelungen. Klingt trotzdem alles zu heftig fürs Proggerherz? ‚Panorama‘ bietet einen ruhig bleibenden, keyboard-getriebenen Rundblick, und am Rausschmeißer ‚Terminus‘ hat der Dichter der Presseinfo sogar „Pink-Floyd-Flavour“ ausgemacht. Also am besten mal selbst den Wintertest machen! Zum Schutz Ihrer persönlichen Daten ist die Verbindung zu YouTube blockiert worden.

  • 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.
