This animal became the main focus on the surprisingly colorful artwork pre- sented in a psychedelic vintage style. Obviously, this choice is another proof of the quintet’s dazzling multi-faceted qualities, pushing LETTERS FROM THE COLONY into a new niche compartment of technically challenging extreme metal. Instead of concentrating on dark colors or cliché-ridden motives, the band designed their promotional photos as well as their album artwork in a striking alternative style: “The first time I showed the artwork to my band colleagues, not everyone liked it”, guitarist and main songwriter Sebastian Svalland laughs. “But I strongly felt that it was a good fit for the music, and it was important for me to showcase in our artwork that we’re not an ordinary technical metal band Line up: from Sweden and don’t want to copy any already existing acts.

  • 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. During the 1970s performers such as AC/DC, Judas Priest, Kiss and Alice Cooper toured incessantly with elaborate stage shows, building a fan base for an internationally-successful style.” (Grove Music Online, “Heavy metal”) . “Heavy metal fans became known as ‘headbangers’ on account of the vigorous nodding motions that sometimes mark their appreciation of the music.” (Grove Music Online, “Heavy metal”) .

    SEPULTURA 09. März 2018 Stuttgart-Wangen LKA/Longhorn Machine Messiah Tour 2018 Gäste: Obscura, Goatwhore, Fit For An Autopsy Anfang 2018 werden die brasilianischen Metal-Legenden SEPULTURA mit ihrer ersten großen Headlinertour zum gefeierten Album „Machine Messiah“ nach Europa zurückkehren. Die über 90 Minuten umfassende Setlist wird alle aktuellen Hits, aber auch die zeitlosen Klassiker der Band enthalten. Nach einer extrem erfolgreichen Tour mit Kreator und vielen Festivalshows im Jahr 2017 haben SEPULTURA nun ein weiteres, grandioses Billing im Gepäck: Als Direct Support sind keine Geringeren als die deutschen Technical Death Metal- Meister Obscura bestätigt, gefolgt von den amerikanischen Black/Death Metallern Goatwhore und New Jerseys Finest, dem Deathcore-Kommando Fit For An Autopsy. Andreas Kisser dazu: „Sepulnation Europe, ich freue mich sehr, die erste Headline Tour für unser aktuelles Album Machine Messiah für Februar/März 2018 bekanntgeben zu dürfen! Unterstützt werden wir von fantastischen Künstlern wie Obscura, Goatwhore und Fit For An Autopsy! Also macht euch bereit, der Messiah setzt sich in Bewegung in Richtung Europa, bis bald! DESTROY!!!!“ Klasse ist ewig und Metal ist für immer. Der Weg zum Ruhm der Heavy Music ist übersät von den zerbrochenen Kadavern derer, die nicht die Stärke dazu hatten, diese Reise zu beenden. Doch wahre Meister werden es immer hindurch schaffen und SEPULTURA haben sich schon lange den Status als Legenden der Metalwelt verdient. In 2017 werden sie mit noch mehr Feuer in ihrem gemeinsamen Leib zurückkehren als je zuvor. „Machine Messiah“ wird kommen… Nachdem sich die Band 1984 in Belo Horizonte, Brasilien zusammengeschlossen hatte, sind SEPULTURA schon sehr schnell zu wichtigen Bestreitern des aufkeimenden Thrash Metal Undergrounds geworden.

  • ​Världsberömd Svensk Studio Fyller 15 År
    Jens Bogren i Fascination Street Studios 2017-08-29 07:45 CEST Världsberömd svensk studio fyller 15 år Jens Bogren är producenten som lockar många av världens största artister till sin studio Fascination Street Studios utanför Örebro. Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Adele, Elton John, Millencolin och många av världens största metalartister har spelats in eller mastrats av Jens Bogren och hans kollegor. Nu fyller studion 15 år. — Det känns väldigt roligt. Vägen har varit lång och stundtals gropig, men jag har lyckats varva hårt arbete med tur och lite talang. Och jag trivs fortfarande som fisken i vattnet, säger Fascination Street Studios grundare och ägare Jens Bogren. År 2002 flyttade Jens Bogren från Halmstad till Örebro för att ta över det som då hette Studio Kuling. I samband med detta bytte han studions namn och inriktning på dess arbete. Studion gick från att ha en ”kristen” musikinriktning, vars ägare flyttade till Knutby för att där gå med i en viss församling, till att främst producera hårdrock och metal. Sedan dess har många stora artister spelats in i studion och mixats av Jens och hans kollegor. Det stora genombrottet kom i samband med produktionen av Opeths album Ghost Reveries år 2005. — I början gjorde jag allt möjligt och hade egentligen inga särskilda ambitioner inom just metal. Jag spelade in gospelskivor, varvade med lite dansband, jobbade med Åsa Jinder och gjorde en skiva med Håkan Hagegård. Efter några lokala hårdrocksproduktioner hade jag turen att bli rekommenderad för Stockholmsbandet Katatonia, som i sin tur rekommenderade Opeth att jobba med mig. Efter det har jobben kommit i strid ström och jag har kunnat expandera verksamheten.

  • Production Perspectives of Heavy Metal Record Producers Abstract
    Production Perspectives of Heavy Metal Record Producers Dr Niall Thomas University of Winchester – [email protected] Dr Andrew King University of Hull – [email protected] Abstract The study of the recorded artefact from a musicological perspective continues to unfold through contemporary research. Whilst an understanding of the scientific elements of recorded sound is well documented the exploration of the production and the artistic nature of this endeavour is still developing. This article explores phenomenological aspects of producing Heavy Metal music from the perspective of seven renowned producers working within the genre. Through a series of interviews and subsequent in-depth analysis particular sonic qualities are identified as key within the production of this work: impact; energy; precision; and extremity. A conceptual framework is then put forward for understanding the production methodology of recorded Heavy Metal Music, and, how developing technology has influenced the production of the genre. Keywords: recording; Heavy Metal; production; producers; phenomenology Introduction The affordances of digital technology have significantly changed the opportunities for practicing musicians to record music. Technology enables even amateur music makers the opportunity to record music with relative ease. The democratisation of technology has meant that mobile devices can become pocket sized recording studios (Leyshon, 2009), whilst affordable solutions and emulations of prohibitively expensive computing and recording technology are readily available via the Internet. The technology associated with certain aspects of music making is now more widespread and enables a new sense of creative musical freedom; music producers command a limitless array of technological choices. Despite the benefits of the ever-increasing rate of technological development, the recording industry is changing dramatically, and with it, the production perspectives of record producers.
