  • EPICA „Requiem for the Indifferent“
    EPICA „Requiem For The Indifferent“ VÖ: 09.03.2012 Line up: Epica Online: Simone Simons – Vocals www.epica.nl Mark Jansen – Guitars & Vocals www.facebook.com/epica Coen Janssen – Synths & Piano Isaac Delahaye - Guitars Arien van Weesenbeek – Drums Yves Huts - Bass Ever since EPICA emerged on the scene at the end of 2002, the band has been living in a whirlwind of studio recordings, interviews, screaming fans, live performances and a rock 'n roll lifestyle. With every new album EPICA pushes the boundaries by reinventing their distinctive style, and nothing seems to stop the band on their rise to the top. With their previous record ‘Design Your Universe’, seen by many as a true milestone in bombastic and symphonic metal, EPICA seemed to have found the perfect musical mixture between classical and heavy music. The album entered the charts everywhere and consolidated their position among the top of today’s metal acts. An extensive tour marathon with over 200 headlining shows allover the globe proved both their ambition and their success. This time EPICA once again raises the bar with their fifth album called 'Requiem of the Indifferent’. Full of trademark hymns, significant lyrics, powerful guitar riffing alternated with cinematic interludes, Simone Simons’ angelic voice, it is a very logical step after ‘Design Your Universe’. Again it is an album which has to grow on the listener, so make sure to give it a couple of spins to get the whole picture. As with every album, EPICA mixes hard, technical and fast with intimate and slow, with as good as everything in between.

  • Sweden ARTROCK Artrock Sweden 2010
    Sweden ARTROCK ArtRock Sweden 2010 En årskrönika Året 2010 präglades av ett intensivt musikliv där konserter och spelningar verkar finnas i en allt större omfattning. I de mer folkrika städerna kan man ju i princip finna något att se/höra var dag i veckan. Konkurrensen om dess publik blir då naturligtvis även den hårdare, många som vågar (en eloge till er) får också svårare att få det gå ihop ekonomiskt men eldsjälarna verkar aldrig ge sig tack och lov. Det har blivit en hel del konsertrapporter och recensioner 2010 på ArtRock och ett stort tack till er skribenter som gett oss dessa. Sweden Rock Festival Norje, Sölvesborg 9-12 Juni 2010 Med över 250 albumrecensioner det gångna året har vi förhoppningsvis gett musikbranschen och er läsare så många bra och Text: Ulf Classon objektiva bedömningar eller tyckande som möjligt och naturligtvis massor med tips på kvalitativa plattor. Foto: Conny Myrberg Betyg: ett sattyg enligt mitt sett att se det hela men båda band och promotors verkar föredra det så … vi kör vidare på den in- slagna linjen. Ibland tenderar det gå inflation i höga poäng och 2010 har vi möjligen varit väl givmilda men samtidigt poängterar Trött, sliten och glad sjunker jag ner i soffan där hemma. Ännu ett besök på Sweden Rock Festival kan läggas till handlingarna och nu är här skribenterna sitt gillande och ni som känner till deras personliga smak kan lugnt införskaffa skivan i fråga. Här presenteras jag mest sugen på att ta igen förlorad sömn och få upp värmen i kroppen än att dricka öl ur plastflaska och kolla på konserter.

  • Mayan Biography 2013
    MaYaN Biography 2016 Dutch Symphonic Death Metallers MaYaN have released their second full length album 'Antagonise' in 2014 through Nuclear Blast. The album showcases the current condition of our society, in which our freedom and privacy are further limited. The lies and propaganda from governments all over the world, the spying, a so called 'war on terror', the insinuated 'freedom' we get just to keep us under control… This translated through Mark's sharp view and the band's characteristic style of symphonic progressive (death) metal for maximum expression results in the perfect and most powerful and confronting album possible to date. With their first release 'Quarterpast' (2011) MaYaN got instant recognition in the media as has proven by the excellent reviews, in-depth interviews with many provoking questions about the band‘s point of view and raving reactions of fans throughout the world. After very successful tours through parts of Europe, Central and South America plus playing renowned festivals like ProgPower USA, Graspop Open Air, Heaven & Hell (Mx), Zwarte Cross and Prog Power&Metal fest for thousands of fans, the band put themselves on the map instantly. Hundreds of thousands of views and confronting discussions from all over the world on their video `War on Terror` prove they set the world to think and hopefully act about what is really going on nowadays. MaYaN was conceived early 2010 by versatile musician and Epica mastermind Mark Jansen and old friend, ex-After Forever keyboardist Jack Driessen to write an album in the style they always really wanted. Mark asked guitarist Frank Schiphorst (Symmetry, Christmas Metal Symphony) to join in.

  • The Influence of Role Models in Metal Musicians' Composing and Career
    Niina Lämsä The influence of role models in metal musicians’ composing and career How do the songs come alive? Thesis CENTRIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES Music pedagogy June 2017 ABSTRACT Centria University Date Author of Applied Sciences June 2017 Niina Lämsä Degree programme Music pedagogy Name of thesis The influence of role models in metal musicians’ composing and career Instructor Pages Kirsti Rasehorn 20 The idea of this thesis was to study the influence of role models in metal musicians’ composing and career. The information was collected from theme interviews from the members of Amaranthe, Epica and Sonata Arctica and this thesis was written based on their answers using qualitative research. Based on the interviews we can say that each musician has taken some influences from their role models. The influences they take from other musicians’ songs are mostly the stylish or atmospherical influence. For all musicians, the common source of inspiration was books and movies. The role models affected these people in different ways, but what was common was that they have learned from them with consideration, following only the good practices. In this thesis I compared my own composing process to my role models’ composing processes. There was a lot in common, it turned out, that the most of these composers compose alone. The most important tips for aspiring composers were to “follow your heart”, “let the music choose you” and “never give up”. Key words Composing, metal music, music, role models TIIVISTELMÄ OPINNÄYTETYÖSTÄ Centria- Aika Tekijä/tekijät ammattikorkeakoulu Kesäkuu 2017 Niina Lämsä Koulutusohjelma Musiikin koulutusohjelma Työn nimi Esikuvien vaikutus metallimuusikoiden säveltämiseen ja uraan Työn ohjaaja Sivumäärä Kirsti Rasehorn 20 Opinnäytetyön tarkoitus oli tutkia esikuvien vaikutusta metallimuusikoiden sävellysprosessiin ja uraan.

  • Gonzo Weekly
    2 be losing half your audience.” I’d had a difficult day on top of a difficult week, and so my reply was shorter than perhaps it should have been. I replied “No, not a party political one at any rate.” I now think that it was an interesting question, and one that deserves a more in depth answer. The short answer is that it depends about what one means by ‘political’. If you mean party political then the simple answer is ‘no’. We will not be endorsing any candidates in next year’s general election except possibly for Bez from the Happy Mondays who is standing for his own political party, the Reality Party, on a pro-permaculture and anti-fracking ticket. Quite apart from the amusing thought of Happy Mondays’ lunatic dancer on Prime Minister’s Question Time, his policies are un-impeachable.
