    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.

  • Woodstock-Era Music of the 1960S to Rock Mount Clemens Fireworks
    Woodstock-era music of the 1960s to rock Mount Clemens fireworks The Macomb Daily (http://www.macombdaily.com) Woodstock-era music of the 1960s to rock Mount Clemens fireworks Friday night event features free live music and fireworks along Clinton River By Mitch Hotts, The Macomb Daily Monday, June 22, 2015 Break out those bell-bottom jeans and tie-dye shirts -- the Mount Clemens Independence Day Celebration on Friday evening will feature music from the Woodstock era. Prior to the fireworks display at dusk, there will be a free live concert by two classic rock bands -- hometown favorites Eastside Westside and Oakland County-based Magic Bus, which specializes in the “free love” era of music from the 1960s and 70s. “In our view, there are two groups of people -- those who lived through the ‘60s and those who wish they had lived through the ‘60s,” said Mark Harrington of Waterford. Harrington, a self-described pop historian and founder of the seven-piece Magic Bus band, said the band does a tribute to various artists of that time frame, ranging from Bob Dylan to Steppenwolf, The Birds to the Beatles. “We basically take you on chronological tour of the 1960s because so much happened during that decade that changed the country,” he said. “We focus on the last three years, the Summer of Love, Woodstock and all that.” Magic Bus will perform on the Clinton River Park stage along the river near Mount Clemens City Hall about 8 p.m. The night will begin with a 6 p.m. concert by Eastside Westside, Like Magic Bus, Eastside Westside’s set list focuses on classic rock tunes from the 1960s/70s, said band spokesman Steve Ferdig.

    Throughout history, art rejoices and revels in the wisdom of women. Within a deck of tarot cards, the High Priestess serves as the guardian of the unconscious. In Greek mythology, the old oracles celebrate the Mother Goddess. William Shakespeare posited portentous prescience in the form of MacBeth’s “Three Witches.” On their sixth full-length album Ritual, In This Moment—Maria Brink [vocals, piano], Chris Howorth [lead guitar], Travis Johnson [bass], Randy Weitzel [rhythm guitar], and Kent Diimel [drums]—unearth a furious and focused feminine fire from a cauldron of jagged heavy metal, hypnotic alternative, and smoky voodoo blues. It’s an evolution. It’s a statement. It’s In This Moment 2017… “It’s like we’re going into the next realm,” asserts Maria. “I had a conviction of feeling empowered in my life and with myself. I always write from a personal place, and I needed to share that sense of strength. I’ve never been afraid to hold back. Sometimes, I can be very suggestive. However, I wanted to show our fans that this is the most powerful side of myself and it’s without overt sexuality. It’s that deeper serious fire inside of my heart.” “What Maria is saying comes from deep inside,” Chris affirms. “This time, we had a bunch of ideas started before we hit the studio. There was a really clear direction. It’s different.” The group spent two years supporting their biggest album yet 2014’s Black Widow. Upon release, it seized their highest position to date on the Billboard Top 200, bowing at #8.

    EPK 2018 screamingbeast.com BIO Formed from the depths of the much revered Manchester (UK) metal scene, Screaming Beast fuse heavy metal and the swagger of the deep south to bring you groovy and bluesy melodic metal. The band began as the project of vocalist Anton War and drummer Daniel Mucs in the summer of 2013. Once songs took shape, the band released the first EP “Blistering Lies” in February of 2014, followed by a second EP “To Assail and Conquer” in September 2015. By late 2017 a full band line-up was solidified and Daniel and Anton were joined by Arun Kamath (guitar, backing vocals), Rory Vallely (guitar) and Jason Hartley-Smith (bass, backing vocals). “Why this band is unsigned remains a mystery in the face of great songwriting!” Metal Glory - Germany Having each individually forged their own creative paths over the years, and with a lifetime’s worth of combined musical experience, all five of these rather talented and handsome chaps are connected by their love for creating and playing the best music possible, and having jolly good fun in the process! “Screaming Beast creates energetic driven songs with biting vocals” Musika - Belgium Lyrically, the band draws on a healthy mix of personal experience and outward commentary, while not wishing to preach or force a particular message upon anyone, the listener is taken on a journey through the mindset of the songs protagonists. screamingbeast.com “Screaming Beasts first foray into a full length opus shows a lot of promise and despite being a tad heavier than my usual speaker fodder I found myself leaving it play, even when not scribbling my drivel about it.
