  • Avenged Sevenfold Announced As Second Headliner for Download Festival 2018
    UNDER STRICT EMBARGO UNTIL 9AM 08.11.17 #DL2018 8-10 JUNE 2018 AVENGED SEVENFOLD ANNOUNCED AS SECOND HEADLINER FOR DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL 2018 CHART TOPPING HARD ROCK BAND AVENGED SEVENFOLD RETURN TO THE UK’S PREMIER ROCK EVENT TO HEADLINE ALONGSIDE OZZY OSBOURNE Download Festival, the world’s premier rock event, has today announced the second of its three headliners as one of the world’s biggest rock bands Avenged Sevenfold. The three-day festival takes place 8 – 10 June 2018 at the spiritual home of rock in Donington Park, Leicestershire. Tickets available now at downloadfestival.co.uk/tickets. Avenged Sevenfold will return to Download Festival once more, to give a momentous Friday night headline performance that will be talked about for years to come. This announcement comes days after it was revealed that the Prince Of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne will also be headlining. From the genre-defining metal-core album City Of Evil, the hard rock UK No.1 Hail To The King, through to the latest progressive-metal sounds of The Stage; Avenged Sevenfold have an epic history of modern metal classics, a stage show to make Rammstein jealous and a proven track record of smashing anything that comes their way. Download Festival’s Promoter, Andy Copping said: “A real career highlight of mine was giving Avenged Sevenfold their first ever UK festival headline slot, and I’m thrilled to welcome them back. You don’t often see bands like Avenged Sevenfold top the charts, but much like seeing them live, they’re not to be underestimated.” Download Festival is the home of rock music and takes place on the sacred grounds of Donington Park, which have been associated with rock since the eighties.

  • FIAT-Sting + Shaggy
    Contact: Diane Morgan Alyse Nagode Fiat 124 Spider Abarth Takes Starring Role Alongside Sting & Shaggy in “Gotta Get Back My Baby” Music Video November 9, 2018, Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Fiat 124 Spider Abarth takes a starring role alongside Sting & Shaggy in the official music video for their new track “Gotta Get Back My Baby,” the latest single, co-produced by Teflon (Wyclef Jean, Fat Joe, Ruff Ryders) and Martin Kierszenbaum (Sting, Mylène Farmer, Lady Gaga), off their album "44/876," which has spent 17 weeks atop the Billboard Reggae chart. The official YouTube music video, which amassed over 2.3 million views in just a few days, was filmed in the vein of ‘80s and ‘90s buddy cop television series and movies, including “Miami Vice” and “Bad Boys,” and was directed by Michael Garcia. The video pairs Sting and Shaggy as two Miami detectives who convince their captain that they’re “going to need the Spider,” meaning his prized Fiat 124 Spider Abarth, as part of their South Beach stakeout for “the most dangerous woman in the country.” What could go wrong?! The FIAT brand is also supporting the video globally across its digital and social channels, including in the U.S on Instagram,Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. “We continue to strive for the unexpected in our marketing efforts across all FCA brands and, certainly here, the FIAT brand’s fun-spirited personality gives us the opportunity to be just a little bit more adventurous and playful in our approach with our music partners," said Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of the FIAT Brand, FCA.

  • Heavy Metal and Classical Literature
    Lusty, “Rocking the Canon” LATCH, Vol. 6, 2013, pp. 101-138 ROCKING THE CANON: HEAVY METAL AND CLASSICAL LITERATURE By Heather L. Lusty University of Nevada, Las Vegas While metalheads around the world embrace the engaging storylines of their favorite songs, the influence of canonical literature on heavy metal musicians does not appear to have garnered much interest from the academic world. This essay considers a wide swath of canonical literature from the Bible through the Science Fiction/Fantasy trend of the 1960s and 70s and presents examples of ways in which musicians adapt historical events, myths, religious themes, and epics into their own contemporary art. I have constructed artificial categories under which to place various songs and albums, but many fit into (and may appear in) multiple categories. A few bands who heavily indulge in literary sources, like Rush and Styx, don’t quite make my own “heavy metal” category. Some bands that sit 101 Lusty, “Rocking the Canon” LATCH, Vol. 6, 2013, pp. 101-138 on the edge of rock/metal, like Scorpions and Buckcherry, do. Other examples, like Megadeth’s “Of Mice and Men,” Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and Cradle of Filth’s “Nymphetamine” won’t feature at all, as the thematic inspiration is clear, but the textual connections tenuous.1 The categories constructed here are necessarily wide, but they allow for flexibility with the variety of approaches to literature and form. A segment devoted to the Bible as a source text has many pockets of variation not considered here (country music, Christian rock, Christian metal).

D’accord, la peinture à l’huile, c’est bien difficile, mais c’est bien plus beau que la chanson à l’eau de rose […]1» Dans un récent entretien publié dans la revue Chorus , l’auteur-compositeur- interprète Jean-Louis Murat déclare non sans provocation que «[…] nous les chanteurs de maintenant, avons déjà tellement à lutter pour exister qu’on ne peut pas toujours être écrasé, par l’ombre de nos aînés.
