Double Fine and EA Announce Super-Charged Soundtrack for Brütal Legend Double Fine and EA Announce Super-Charged Soundtrack for Brütal Legend Metal's Biggest Artists Provide Soundtrack for the Ultimate Skull-Crushing, Demon-Slaying Adventure of the Fall REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug 10, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) and Double Fine Productions, Inc. today announced the complete soundtrack for Brütal Legend(TM), the face-melting action video game from Tim Schafer starring Jack Black as the roadie Eddie Riggs. Boasting an impressive list of over 100 fist-pumping tracks sure to make your blood boil, Brütal Legend puts metal's most celebrated rock Gods in the forefront of this unique 3rd person action experience. With a total of 75 killer bands showcased, including legends such as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Megadeth and Motörhead, Brütal Legend will unleash the inner headbanger in every gamer on October 13th in North America and on October 16th in Europe. Brütal Legend is an epic action game from visionary developer Tim Schafer. Jack Black stars as Eddie Riggs, a legendary roadie summoned to a world of Heavy Metal where mountains are made of amplifiers, killer spiders spin guitar strings and Rock Legends roam the landscape. As Eddie, crush skulls with a battle axe, ravage the road in a super-charged Hot Rod and unleash the power of Rock to reign down fire from the sky - all to save humanity and become a Brütal Legend. "This soundtrack took years to put together as we wanted to represent every genre of Metal, and also have the perfect music for every epic moment in the game," said Tim Schafer, President of Double Fine Productions. "It's designed to be loved by Metal fans, and for those who are not, it will either convert them or make their heads explode... or both." "It would be a grave disservice to merely use the term 'Ultimate Heavy Metal Soundtrack' here," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing for Electronics Arts. "Instead, what we've unleashed is without question the most mind- blasting, face-melting, skull-shattering alliance of Classic Metal, Thrash Metal, New Wave, British Metal, Black Metal, Power Metal, Doom Metal, Death Metal, Hair Metal, Goth Metal and Industrial Metal ever decreed by The Gods Of Metal. Its very existence will condemn your soul to eternal brütal damnation. Yes, it's that good!" See below for the entire list of tracks featured in the Brütal Legend soundtrack.

  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    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.

  • Return from Exile: How Extreme Metal Culture Found Its Niche with Dethklok and Postnetwork TV
    Journal of Popular Music Studies, Volume 27, Issue 2, Pages 163–183 Return from Exile: How Extreme Metal Culture Found Its Niche with Dethklok and Postnetwork TV Joe Tompkins Allegheny College In the premiere episode of Metalocalypse, an original animated series entering its fifth season on the Adult Swim channel,1 300, 000 metalheads travel to the Artic Circle to witness Dethklok, “the world’s greatest cultural force,” as they perform a coffee jingle for the Duncan Hills Coffee Corporation. Despite adverse conditions and a mere single song set list, thousands of fans risk life and limb for the chance to witness the legendary death metal band as they perform a raucous musical ode to the virtues of “ultimate flavor.” As one reporter on the scene observes, “Never before have so many people traveled so far for such a short song.” In a further testament to the band’s outstanding popularity and market value, concertgoers eagerly sign “pain waivers” excusing Dethklok from legal liability in the all too likely event they are somehow “burned, lacerated, eaten alive, poisoned, de-boned, crushed, or hammer-smashed” during the show. Meanwhile, the performance launches the international coffee mogul Duncan Hills to monopoly status, “obliterating” the competition. When asked by news reporters if such an act of corporate sponsorship means that Dethklok is “selling out,” frontman Nathan Explosion growlingly rejoins: “We are here to make coffee metal. We will make everything metal. Blacker than the blackest black . times infinity.” Touting “the biggest

  • TRUTH CORRODED BIOGRAPHY 2018 Drums: Jake Sproule, Vocals: Jason North, Guitar
    TRUTH CORRODED BIOGRAPHY 2018 Drums: Jake Sproule, Vocals: Jason North, Guitar: Trent Simpson, Bass: Greg Shaw, Lead Guitar: Chris Walden TRUTH CORRODED are an Australian band with a sound that captures elements of late 80's/early 90's inspired thrash and death metal, shaped by the likes of bands such as SLAYER, OBITUARY, SEPULTURA, KREATOR and EXHORDER, and then later influenced by acts such as MISERY INDEX, BEHEMOTH, NEUROSIS, DECAPITATED and REVOCATION. Taken together the influences have shaped a sound that is as confronting as the subject matter of the bands lyrics and pays homage to the go for the throat savagery of the bands roots. TRUTH CORRODED signed with leading US extreme metal label UNIQUE LEADER RECORDS which led to the release of the album titled 'Bloodlands' which was released in March 2019. Based on themes surrounding war and displacement, the album depicts the state of our times and the social and political impact that is having both in the bands home country Australia and abroad. The title refers to the growth of new conflict from conflicts past, with the suffering it creates spreading its roots. The album was recorded with session drummer Kevin Talley (SUFFOCATION, DYING FETUS, CHIMAIRA) – his third album with the band – and was mixed and mastered by renowned heavy music producer Chris 'ZEUSS' Harris (HATEBREED, SOULFLY, REVOCATION). The album also features guest appearances by Stephen Carpenter of DEFTONES, Terrance Hobbs of SUFFOCATION, Mark Kloeppel of MISERY INDEX and Ryan Knight, ex-THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER/ARSIS. Artwork for the album is designed by Gary Ronaldson at Bite Radius Designs (MISERY INDEX, BENIGHTED, PIG DESTROYER, THY ART IS MURDER) Commenting on the industry involved, vocalist Jason North offers "When we first set out to write the album we could not have imagined that we would work with the artists that have become involved.

À trente ans, un homme devrait se tenir en main, savoir le compte exact de ses défauts et de ses qualités, connaître sa limite, prévoir sa défaillance - être ce qu'il est. -Albert Camus, Carnets II (janvier 1942 - mars 1951) On the subject of 30 The very first thing I thought of when I heard the theme (30 years) was this quote by Albert Camus At 30 a man should know himself like the palm of his hand, know the exact number of his defects and qualities, know how far he can go, foretell his failures - be what he is. And, above all, accept these things. -Albert Camus, (Notebooks II, Jan 1942 - Mar 1951) On the subject of 30 Here it is in English (read). This is something that I thought a lot about in my 20s, nearing that notorious milestone. And to be honest, I’m not sure that I quite succeeded in answering these questions for myself, which is why the idea of basing a game on this quote is so appealing to me.

  • RYCHUS SYN Rebirth (Heavy Metal)
    RYCHUS SYN Rebirth (Heavy Metal) Année de sortie : 2008 Nombre de pistes : 10 Durée : 35' Support : CD Provenance : Reçu du groupe En 1989 sortait un EP (qui existe aussi en « picture disc ») sur le label AZRA, cinq titres dans la bonne moyenne de ce qui sortait (à la chaîne) à ce moment au USA.Entre Hard Rock énergique et Heavy Métal.A partir de là comptez dix neuf dans votre tête, cela peut vous paraître long, mais imaginez la même chose en années ! Et oui c"est le temps qu"il aura fallu pour que les musiciens de RYCHUS SYN pour remettre la machine en route ! Seuls rescapés de cette première époque Drew MANISCALCO (guitares) et son frère Greg (batterie).Rebirth vous permettra d"écouter les cinq titres du EP, Under Attack, Contents Under Pressure, Child of Mercy, Power Thunder and Steel et Air Raid plus cinq nouveaux titres.Preuve que le groupe n"a pas sorti juste pour le fun ce CD, les anciens titres ont été ré enregistrés et collent parfaitement aux nouveaux, impossible de les différencier !Dix titres carrés, très Heavy Métal, une grosse production, un chant excellent, des riffs acérés et des soli pertinents vont rendre ce Rebirth attrayant du début à la fin ! Pour les influences récentes je dirais WARDOG (A Sound Beating de 1999) par le chant et le son des guitares, et les compos ; rajoutez y des passages rappelant les vieux METALLICA, METAL CHURCH surtout au niveau rythmiques et vous obtiendrez RYCHUS SYN. La majeure partie des titres est médium et quatre sont plus rapides, voir limite Thrash sur Under Attack.
