Virgin Steele - Hymns to Victory Best Of-Alben Geraten Immer Mehr in Einen Schlechten Ruf Virgin Steele - Hymns to victory Best of-Alben geraten immer mehr in einen schlechten Ruf. Deshalb um so besser, daß es sich hierbei nur zum Teil um ein solches handelt. David DeFeis liebt seine Fans und tut ihnen deshalb auch etwas Gutes... 1.Flames of thy power ( From blood they rise) 2.Through the ring of fire 3.Invictus 4.Crown of Glory (Unscarred) 5.Kingdom of the fearless (The destruction of Troy) 6.The spirit of Steele 7.A symphony of Steele 8.The burning of Rome (Cry for Pompeii) 9.I will come for you 10.Saturday night 11.Noble Savage 12.Mists of Avalon 13.Emalaith Erschienen 2001 bei DeFeis Music / Sanctuary Records Group Line-Up: David DeFeis – All vocals, keyboards, bass, Orchestration, sword, & all Instruments on “Spirit of Steele” Edward Pursino – All Guitars and bass Frank Gilchriest – Drums Das Arbeitstier hat wieder mächtig zugeschlagen. David DeFeis veröffentlicht quasi zeitgleich 2 CDs, außer der hier rezensierten „Hymns to victory auch noch „The book of burning“ und veröffentlicht damit insgesamt 39 Songs, einige davon bislang unveröffentlicht, den Rest wenigstens remastered oder sogar komplett überarbeitet und neu aufgenommen. Selbst für einen Fan wie mich, der bereits jedes offiziell erschienene Album der Band besitzt, lohnt sich der Kauf damit noch. Die drei bislang unveröffentlichten Tracks „Saturday night“, „Mists of Avalon“ und das reine Akustikstück „The Spirit of Steele“ müssen sich dabei in keinster Weise hinter etablierten und bekannten Songs verstecken. Das interessante an diesem Album ist, dass es neben relativ neuen Songs wie „Flames of thy power“, „Invictus“ oder „Through the ring of fire“ auch ältere Songs wie die geniale Hymne „A symphony of Steele“ oder das eher balladeske und bedächtige „Emalaith“ vom „Marriage of Heaven and Hell Pt. 2“-Album oder natürlich der Titeltrack „Noble Savage“ vom gleichnamigen Album in überarbeiteter Version vorliegen. 13 Songs aller höchster Qualität präsentiert DeFeis auf diesem Album und muss sich trotz der zum Teil nur in Details spürbaren Veränderungen nicht den Vorwurf der Abzocke gefallen lassen. Für Leute, die noch wenig oder gar kein Material der Band besitzen befindet sich hierauf ein exquisiter Querschnitt über das Schaffen der Kalifornier, für alle anderen lohnt sich der Kauf allein schon aufgrund der 3 unveröffentlichten 1/2 Songs, welche wirklich hochwertiges Material darstellen. Der Mix ist wie immer gelungen. Kein Wunder, hat doch auch hier Meister DeFeis zum wiederholten Male selbst Hand angelegt. Das Booklet enthält – stimmig aufbereitet – einmal mehr alle Lyrics, einige Bandphotos und Linernotes sowie einen Backkatalog mit Discographie. Fazit: Absolut total und unter allen Umständen ein Kauftipp! (c) by 'PlanetHeavyMetal' URL : http://www.planetheavymetal.de Das Impressum finden Sie hier 2/2.

    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.

  • Classical Myth and History in Heavy Metal: Power, Escapism and Masculinity
    Classical Myth and History in Heavy Metal: Power, Escapism and Masculinity With the possible exception of opera, heavy metal makes greater use of Classical material than any other genre of contemporary music. This paper will suggest some of the reasons for the connection between Classics and heavy metal, and discuss what these reasons can add to our understanding of the modern reception of the ancient world. A brief overview of the history of heavy metal and its subgenres will show the extent to which Greco-Roman myth and history are an established part of the music from its beginnings. Because metal is in some ways a conservative genre, with an established canon of artists (Weinstein), the use of Classical material by these canonical bands sanctions the continued use of such material by subsequent bands. From its very beginnings, metal shows an interest in fantastic material from other times and places: Black Sabbath draws on the realm of fantasy and the occult (e.g. “The Wizard”) and Led Zeppelin draws on contemporary fantasy such as Tolkien (“Battle of Evermore”) and Classics (“Achilles Last Stand” [sic]). These trends are continued and developed by other “traditional” metal bands such as Iron Maiden, who use Classical material (“The Flight of Icarus,” “Alexander the Great”) as well as literary material (“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”). These early bands demonstrate some of the main trends of heavy metal lyrics: in comparison with most popular music, there is less focus on the quotidian, and the ancient world is just one of the realms on which bands draw for inspiration, with the others being books (especially fantasy), movies and history.

  • Heavy Metal the Cultural Roots
    HEAVY METAL THE CULTURAL ROOTS A WORK BY FILIPPO FESTUCCIA Despite being – quite truthfully, I have to admit – known in for many years as an extremely noisy and immoral music, there is no doubt that heavy metal gives the most cultural suggestions to modern music. It is indeed true that the press never states this fact. (Even musical magazines have some sort of repulsion against heavy metal). They do nothing but praise the newest fashions. However, we are not going to generalize, we are not going to hide all the explicitly satanic, noisy, violent, disgusting side of heavy metal, all the evil figures that are rightfully associated with sub-genres such as black metal (we have a clear example in Burzum, who is still in jail after having committed a brutal homicide; but it’s true that even in black metal we can find fine musicians and really polite people): that kind of music is the expression of situations as hard to deny as to accept. But I don’t see fairness in how heavy metal is spoken of by the “others”, every time our music becomes an instrument in the hands of scandal-mongering press in every day’s reality show. I believe therefore that we need a little rehabilitation for all the amazing musicians who dedicate their lives in spreading culture and good values through heavy metal. AND THEN THERE WERE BLACK SABBATH The birth of metal is still a riddle. We won’t plunge into the unsolvable debate about the first heavy metal artist (some say Led Zeppelin were the first, some say Steppenwolf, Grand Funk Railroad, Cream, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix and many others…), but we will assume here as fact that Black Sabbath were the first heavy metal band.

  • Classification of Heavy Metal Subgenres with Machine Learning
    Thomas Rönnberg Classification of Heavy Metal Subgenres with Machine Learning Master’s Thesis in Information Systems Supervisors: Dr. Markku Heikkilä Asst. Prof. József Mezei Faculty of Social Sciences, Business and Economics Åbo Akademi University Åbo 2020 Subject: Information Systems Writer: Thomas Rönnberg Title: Classification of Heavy Metal Subgenres with Machine Learning Supervisor: Dr. Markku Heikkilä Supervisor: Asst. Prof. József Mezei Abstract: The music industry is undergoing an extensive transformation as a result of growth in streaming data and various AI technologies, which allow for more sophisticated marketing and sales methods. Since consumption patterns vary by different factors such as genre and engagement, each customer segment needs to be targeted uniquely for maximal efficiency. A challenge in this genre-based segmentation method lies in today’s large music databases and their maintenance, which have shown to require exhausting and time-consuming work. This has led to automatic music genre classification (AMGC) becoming the most common area of research within the growing field of music information retrieval (MIR). A large portion of previous research has been shown to suffer from serious integrity issues. The purpose of this study is to re-evaluate the current state of applying machine learning for the task of AMGC. Low-level features are derived from audio signals to form a custom-made data set consisting of five subgenres of heavy metal music. Different parameter sets and learning algorithms are weighted against each other to derive insights into the success factors. The results suggest that admirable results can be achieved even with fuzzy subgenres, but that a larger number of high-quality features are needed to further extend the accuracy for reliable real-life applications.
