Nekrst Almanah 1 ALMANAH metal fanzine // #1-#666, 2016 metal fanzine //broj 1, 2016 Facebook: /nekrstfanzin Instagram: /nekrst_fanzine NEKRST // metal fanzin Fanzin o metal muzici, sa naglaskom na death-, prog- podžanrove Broj 1 (izašao 26.4.2016) Samizdat Elektronsko i štampano izdanje Urednik izdanja/recenzent: Andrej Romic Tehnicki urednik/dizajn: Desya Lovorov Slika na naslovnoj strani: Strachovart FB: www.facebook.com/nekrstfanzin Abjvration: The Unqueanchable Pyre (2015) Mračan, ultra spor i ultra brutalan francuski death/doom sastav Abjvration nam donosi svoj prvi mini album, kog su izdali još prošle godine u aprilu. Vrlo intenzivan, opak, spor al’ rasturajući album sa 5 pesama. Preporuka za fanove masnog, starog oldschool death/doom-a, ne na foru Paradise Lost-a i sličnih, nego JOŠ mračnije i još brutalnije. Dakle, ako volite oldschool raw death kao Portal ili Chthe'ilist, obavezno proverite ovaj bend! Masnoća zagarantovana. #2 Alien Garden: Antarctica (Part I) (2015) Zamislite situaciju: živite u Rusiji, cenite, volite, i slušate metal muziku. Al’ jebi ga, živite u Rusiji. Negde u nekoj snežnoj vukojebini, gledate kroz prozor kako pada sneg (još uvek :p) i pijete čaj u drvenoj stolici, i onda vam padne ideja da napravite progresivni technical death metal projekat (instrumentalan, jer nema vokala nigde u blizini, ha) - šalu na stranu. Projekat nazovete Alien Garden, koji trenutno ima 2 full-length albuma iza sebe, od kojih je prošlogodišnji, pod imenom Antarctica (Part I), najuspešniji. Svirate do jaja muziku, bez pevača, ali sigurni u sebe i derete za desetoricu, što se i traži. Alien Garden, instru- mental progressive technical death metal, preporučujem fanovima Existential Animals, Conquering Dystopia, i naravno Essence of Datum-a. #3 Elio Rigonat: EGREGOЯ (Part I) (2016) Elio Rigonat, muzičar iz Beograda, poznatiji po svojim drugim projektima kao što su Kobold, Merciful Angel, pre par nedelja je izbacio svoj prvi solo album koji se zove EGREGOЯ (Part I). Kad sam čuo singl, bio sam oduševljen, jer je udahnuo svežinu u našu scenu, ponudio nešto sasvim novo, neisprobano do sad. Primetljivo i odlično je da se Elio oslonio na uzore pre nego što je osmislio i kreirao album. Zato žanrovi variraju na ovom albumu, mogao bi se nekako podvesti pod thrash, mada je mnogo više od toga. Vokal je skandinavski black- orijentisan, svirački je thrash, uz poneke avantgarde momente i melodije, i svakako growlovi koji pripadaju melo-death žanru. Definitivno preporučujem svima za slušanje, a naročito onima koji žele da čuju nešto novo, bez onog svakodnevnog, monotonog vrtenja mjuze ukrug. #4 A Million Dead Birds Laughing: Bloom (2013) Šta dobijete kad spojite tehnikalnost i melodičnost sa agresijom i mržnjom koju grindcore pruža... Milion mrtvih ptica... Koje se smeju. Budimo ozbiljni, A Million Dead Birds Laughing su australijski technical death metal-grindcore bend, ili da kažem technical grindcore - razume se svejedno poenta. Ovaj bend spaja melodije i riffove koje pruža technical death sa agresijom grindcore-a, kao savršen balans ta dva žanra. Preporučujem fanovima Oblivionized-a #5 Plague Widow: s/t (2012) Mrak, tama, agresija, agonija, mržnja, sve u jednom albumu, tačnije EP-u. Plague Widow je kalifornijski blackened grindcore bend, a ovo je njihov self- titled EP iz 2012. godine. Rasturajuća muzika, nenamenjena za svačiji sluh. Morate imat' muda da svirate ovakvo nešto! Strogo preporučujem da ovo provere ljudi koji vole Anaal Nathrakh, Portal, ili Circle of Dead Children. #6 Lever of Archimedes: Triptych Disentanglement (2015) Njih svrstavam u grupu bendova koje kad čovek posluša, boli ga faca. Kon- kretno, boli ga faca jer je dobio pravi šut u glavu. Intenzivni brutal/technical vokali sa non stop riffovima koji jednostavno ne staju, odličan artwork, bend sa tri člana koji maksimalno rade svoj posao. Lever of Archimedes je brutal/technical death iz Vašingtona. #7 One Step Beyond: Beyond Good and Evil (2007) Australijanci One Step Beyond sviraju intenzivni, bolesni, mračan miks tech- nical/experimental death metal-a/grindcore-a, mnogo eksperimentisanja se može čuti u zvuku ovog benda, takođe i na albumu, čudni vokali, kakve dosad još sigurno niste čuli, ekstremni riffovi. Ovakav krosover isplati se poslušat'. #8 Proliferation: Rebirth: The Journey Through Soil (2016) Proliferation: ovo je njihov drugi EP koji nosi naziv Rebirth: The Journey Through Soil. Bend koji potiče iz Atlante, SAD-a, sastoji se od četiri sedam- naestogodišnjaka (!), i posmatrajući stvari iz te perspektive, ovi momci znaju znanje, s obzirom na godine. Ovaj progressive/technical death metal prepo- ručujem fanovima Beyond Creation, Brought By Pain, i Black Crown Initiate-a. #9 The Infinite Within: Bestival Void Inevitability (2014) Direktan šut u glavu - ovaj album je ništa manje i ništa više od toga. The Infinite Within su technical brutal death metal iz Slovačke. Bestival Void Inevitability je njihov debi album iz 2014. godine. Ceo album je pun brzih i ubitačnih vokala, no bullshit, samo brutal. Riffovi izleću na albumu k’o meci iz puške - blast beat. Ovaj album ima sve što neko traži ko sluša ovaj žanr! Prepo- ručujem fanovima Archspire, Necrosy, Origin-a. 10 Zhrine: Unortheta (2016) Zhrine je islandski atmosferični blackened death metal. Spewing Gloom, singl sa predstojećeg albuma Unortheta mi je privukao pažnju. Sa vrhunskim atmo- sferičnim black- death-om sa mnogo dubokim vokalima tokom cele pesme, i odličnim, takođe dubokim riffovima i melodijama, cela pesma je mnogo mračna i ima tako odličan ambijent. Preporučujem fanovima Chthe'Ilist-a. 11 metal fanzin // broj 2, 2016 Facebook: /nekrstfanzin Instagram: /nekrst_fanzine NEKRST // metal fanzin Fanzin o metal muzici, sa naglaskom na death-, prog- podžanrove Broj 2 (izašao 03.4.2016) Samizdat Elektronsko i štampano izdanje Urednik izdanja/recenzent: Andrej Romic Tehnicki urednik/dizajn: Desya Lovorov Saradnici: Siniša Somberlain Tošić (str. 4) Antonio Jovanović (ciklonizacija.blogspot.rs) (str. 6, 9) FB: www.facebook.com/nekrstfanzin Cult Of Fire: Triumvirát (2012) Ovaj prikaz obuhvata prvi full length album češkog epic black metal sastava imenom Cult Of Fire. Zapalo mi je oko za njih jer sam imao slobodnog vre- mena da potražim bendove sličnim Mgła ili Batushka, i tako naišao na njega. Naime, bend stvarno ima sličan zvuk kao prethodno spomenuta dva, preporu- čujem fanovima istih. Bend se deklariše kao epic black metal sastav, nemam ništa protiv, jer dok se preslušava album, koji je inače krcat ambijentalnim i atmosferičnim delovima, stvarno se dobija neki čudan osećaj, koji nije baš karakterističan za tipičan black metal. Cenim originalnost ovog benda i mnogo su dobri. #2 Arcturus: Arcturian (2015) Možda jedan od najkreativnijih albuma koje sam u životu čuo. Arcturus je dobro poznat norveški bend koji je kroz godine menjao žanr i polako usavr- šavao sopstveni. Rana era je više atmosferični black metal, dok kasnije dodaju više progressive-a i avant-garde-a u svoj zvuk. Ništa manje i ništa više od toga ne govori peti studijski album pod imenom Arcturian, izbačen prošle godine za Prophecy Productions. Mnogo kreativan album s veoma kvalitetnim i visokim screamovima, lepim cleanovima, progresivnim riffovima, i ambijen-talnim i avant-garde momentima. Definitivno preporučujem fanovima čudnih i nesva- kidašnjih metal podžanrova! Ko voli Thy Catafalque, Solefald, Emperor, Ihsahn, Diabolical Masquerade, Winds, ovo je definitivno bend za njega. #3 Moonsorrow: Jumalten Aika (2016) Posle tačno 5 godina čekanja stigla je droga iz kuhinje finskih majstora epskog pagan/black metala. Njihov najnoviji album Jumalten Aika (slobodan prevod: Doba Bogova) je miks predivnih gitarskih harmonija, bubnjeva koji voze od blastbeata do sporih, mučnih ritmova, i vokala od kojih krv u žilama menja ag- regatno stanje iz strofe u strofu. Reč “epski” je previše korišćena, ali ovde ne- dovoljna da opiše atmosferu bekstva u drugi svet. Metal je uvek bio žestoko emotivna muzika, i ovaj dragulj od albuma je čista infuzija iste. Ako bih neku od 5 pesama (prosečne dužine oko 14 minuta), morao da izdvojim, to bi bila ‘Mimisbrunn’. Učinite sebi uslugu i poslušajte je u roku od odmah! #4 Fallujah: Dreamless (2016) Fallujah je bend koji definitivno ne može da razočara, s kakvim god se lejbelom vratio bend, s kakvim god zvukom, ja, i verujem da još mnogo ljudi, oduševljeni smo novim albumom nazvanim Dreamless, koji je izašao krajem aprila ove godine. Album je malo atmosferičniji nego prethodni 'The Flesh Prevails', ali ipak, moćni riffovi, ultra brutalni breakdown-ovi, ženski clean-ovi... Nema mnogo šta da se kaže o ovome sem svega pozitivnog. Ako ne znate za Fallujah, obavezno proverite. Preporučujem fanovima Decrepit Birth, The Zenith Passage, Archspire, Black Crown Initiate-a i još mnogih! #5 Dagor Dagorath: Disident (2014) Ako volite simfonični black metal ili ako ste fanovi bendova Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's Child i Agathodaimon, onda će vam se definitivno svideti ovaj album koga krasi veoma dobra, jasna produkcija i (naravno) brze, poletne i nadasve kvali- tetne pesme. #6 Kill The Scum: Slaughtered Land (2015) Kill The Scum, grindcore bend osnovan 2011. godine u Novom Sadu je prošle godine izbacio svoj veoma kratak, ali ipak ubitačan full length album koji se zove Slaughtered Land. Bend kombinuje crust/HC Punk sa grindom. Mnogo mi se svideo album, naročito po neki formalno veoma absurdni introi u pesmama. Predlažem fanovima Rotten Sound, Insect Warfare i Wormrot-a. #7 Blade Of Horus: Monumental Massacre (2015) Blade Of Horus, brutal/technical death metal

  • Hipster Black Metal?
    Hipster Black Metal? Deafheaven’s Sunbather and the Evolution of an (Un) popular Genre Paola Ferrero A couple of months ago a guy walks into a bar in Brooklyn and strikes up a conversation with the bartenders about heavy metal. The guy happens to mention that Deafheaven, an up-and-coming American black metal (BM) band, is going to perform at Saint Vitus, the local metal concert venue, in a couple of weeks. The bartenders immediately become confrontational, denying Deafheaven the BM ‘label of authenticity’: the band, according to them, plays ‘hipster metal’ and their singer, George Clarke, clearly sports a hipster hairstyle. Good thing they probably did not know who they were talking to: the ‘guy’ in our story is, in fact, Jonah Bayer, a contributor to Noisey, the music magazine of Vice, considered to be one of the bastions of hipster online culture. The product of that conversation, a piece entitled ‘Why are black metal fans such elitist assholes?’ was almost certainly intended as a humorous nod to the ongoing debate, generated mainly by music webzines and their readers, over Deafheaven’s inclusion in the BM canon. The article features a promo picture of the band, two young, clean- shaven guys, wearing indistinct clothing, with short haircuts and mild, neutral facial expressions, their faces made to look like they were ironically wearing black and white make up, the typical ‘corpse-paint’ of traditional, early BM. It certainly did not help that Bayer also included a picture of Inquisition, a historical BM band from Colombia formed in the early 1990s, and ridiculed their corpse-paint and black cloaks attire with the following caption: ‘Here’s what you’re defending, black metal purists.

  • Exploring the Chinese Metal Scene in Contemporary Chinese Society (1996-2015)
    "THE SCREAMING SUCCESSOR": EXPLORING THE CHINESE METAL SCENE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE SOCIETY (1996-2015) Yu Zheng A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2016 Yu Zheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This research project explores the characteristics and the trajectory of metal development in China and examines how various factors have influenced the localization of this music scene. I examine three significant roles – musicians, audiences, and mediators, and focus on the interaction between the localized Chinese metal scene and metal globalization. This thesis project uses multiple methods, including textual analysis, observation, surveys, and in-depth interviews. In this thesis, I illustrate an image of the Chinese metal scene, present the characteristics and the development of metal musicians, fans, and mediators in China, discuss their contributions to scene’s construction, and analyze various internal and external factors that influence the localization of metal in China. After that, I argue that the development and the localization of the metal scene in China goes through three stages, the emerging stage (1988-1996), the underground stage (1997-2005), the indie stage (2006-present), with Chinese characteristics. And, this localized trajectory is influenced by the accessibility of metal resources, the rapid economic growth, urbanization, and the progress of modernization in China, and the overall development of cultural industry and international cultural communication. iv For Yisheng and our unborn baby! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr.

  • Grant Kicks Off FSU's Project of Building Sustainable Energy
    For and about FSU people A publication of the FSU Division of Communications and Media Relations Volume 47, Number 17, Feb. 6, 2017 Copy deadline: noon Wednesday, Candis Johnson at [email protected] CES at FSU Receives NEA Grant Award for Tibetan Monks Residency – The Mystical Arts of Tibet CES at FSU has received a Challenge America grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to support a March 2017 residency with the Mystical Arts of Tibet. Seventeen other NEA grants were awarded to organizations throughout Maryland. The five-day residency, which takes place from Sunday, March 5, through Thursday, March 9, involves the visit of Buddhist monks from the Drepung Loselang Monastery. The project is part of a tour endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as a means of promoting world peace and healing through sacred performing art. The residency includes multiple free, public events, including workshops and lectures on Tibetan meditation, philosophy, art and culture. Creation of the Mandala A highlight of the project is the creation of a mandala sand painting in FSU’s Lewis J. Ort Library. Over the course of 33 hours and five days at FSU, community members can observe as the monks lay millions of grains of colored sand onto a flat platform to form the image of a mandala. The community is invited to complete an online survey to select the theme of the mandala to be created at http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07edpwtbduiy2zb2d0/start. The process of sand painting is one of Buddhism’s most exquisite artistic traditions. Millions of grains of sand are painstakingly laid on a flat platform over a period of days to form the image of a mandala.

  • Vicious Ghoul Punks CRIMSON SPECTRE Team up with Eco-Violence Warriors UWHARRIA for a Battle of Epic Proportions
    Vicious ghoul punks CRIMSON SPECTRE team up with Eco-violence warriors UWHARRIA for a battle of epic proportions. With a sound like the undead proletarian masses destroying their former masters in a blood-spattered zombie uprising, the unholy CRIMSON SPECTRE defy all that corporate punk and hardcore have become. Maybe because they’re old enough to remember a time before there was such a thing as “corporate punk and hardcore”, or maybe because they never sold-out to a formula sound or watered down lyrics. In the days when the US empire pretends to stand triumphant and declare that “there is no alternative”, fi ve (r)aging punk rockers never stopped believing in the power of rebel music or revolutionary dreams. Instead, CRIMSON SPECTRE will be the ones digging the graves, as they unearth monster riffs and bone-shattering beats to unleash on the oppressor class. CRIMSON SPECTRE is the evil smile on the face of the gravedigger. UWHARRIA started in 1999 as a group of environmental activists who were to create a musical extension of their activism. Eight days after forming, the band had written seven songs, played their fi rst show, and recorded a demo. These songs were based on the concept of nature glorifi cation: skunks, woodpeckers, sea turtles, dung beetles, and the human species being devoured by a jaguar. UWHARRIA blends early hardcore punk with NWOBHM and a heavy dose of crossover thrash, while being compared to BAD BRAINS, COC, RATOS DE PARAO, DRI, and oddly, CCR. The band’s favorite review was, “Sounds like Ronnie James Dio getting his

  • Reviews : Albums : Gorguts, "Considered Dead [Reissue]"
    Reviews : Albums : Gorguts, "Considered Dead [reissue]" Gorguts Considered Dead [reissue] Metal Mind Records 2007 REVIEW LINKS Email the reviewer Email this review to a friend DISCUSS THIS REVIEW Ye Gods, I am old. I am displeased that this CD reminds me of this wretched truth. Has it been 16 years since this first rocked my world? I was supposed to see these guys with Atheist and Cannibal Corpse once, but the club didn't let in anyone under eighteen at the time so I could not go. Also it was in a bad neighborhood, Velociraptors and Tyrannosaurus Rex on every block. Most of them were on drugs to boot. Luckily the day of the drug crazed dinosaur has passed and we are threatened only by a lot of other things. Enough of my senile recollections, let the metal geezer get this review out before Alzheimer's robs me of the ability to know what in the hell I'm talking about. I loved this album back in the day, although I don't listen to a ton anymore. It is however an interesting contrast to the last two albums Gorguts did. Before every French-Canadian became a god with a musical instrument or a hockey stick. It used to be they only did hockey. This might be the album where that really started to change, although Voivod had been working the province for quite some time. This was a decent record, even at the time. This is more mid-paced to slow as opposed to the faster stuff I prefer.

  • Identity, Cosmopolitanism and Education in Extreme Metal Bands: the Case of Finland
    Historia y Memoria de la Educación 12 (2020): 303-332 Sociedad Española de Historia de la Educación ISSN: 2444-0043 DOI: 10.5944/hme.12.2020.26507 IDENTITY, COSMOPOLITANISM AND EDUCATION IN EXTREME METAL BANDS: THE CASE OF FINLAND Identidad, cosmopolitismo y educación en las bandas de metal extremo: el caso de Finlandia Eugenio Otero Urtazaα Reception date: 22/01/2020 • Acceptation date: 08/03/2020 Abstract. Music is an art that often defines the education and values of peo- ple. Extreme Metal is a controversial musical genre that at times, in some of its subgenres, has caused episodes of exceptional violence. Metalheads make up a cultural movement that is present on all conti- nents. Metal movements are difficult to dissolve in the magma of social acceptance: they create a consciousness of transnational solidarity, of response to waste and ostentation that destroys the planet, while claim- ing the place in which it is lived. Extreme Metal is not an artistic fashion, it is profoundly changing the mentality of many young people who reject the social organisation of the capitalist and Christian world and try to find alternatives for the future. In this article we ask how their convic- tions are formed and in what way the school’s teachings influence them. One of the ways of studying the phenomenon is by analysing the lyrics of the songs. Not all subgenres can be covered and three Melodic Death Metal bands from Finland have been chosen for study, especially in rela- tion to their feelings about nature and the cosmos. It is evident that their songs are often based on classical and popular poems learned at school, by the legacy left by the great Finnish poets, and even by the literary cre- ations of musicians for that school resonance.

The purpose of this is to find practical, psychological, and artistic insights. The results ascertain that tech-death and neo-soul are linked together by jazz and early twentieth century classical music, both culturally and music-theoretic. Further conclusions illuminated my own constructed role in music production and defined similarities in workflow in terms of both genres.
