Pressemitteilung Zu Obituary
Pressemitteilung zu Obituary Die amerikanischen Death Metaller Obituary präsentieren ihr neues Album „Obituary“ (Relapse) am 25.03.18 im Logo live Hamburg, November 2017 – Im Sommer 2017 gab es nur zwei Shows in Deutschland, jetzt kommen Obituary für eine komplette Tour wieder nach Deutschland. Die Death Metal-Protagonisten aus Florida haben weitere sieben Shows im März 2018 gebucht, um ihr am 16.03.17 erschienenes zehntes Top 30-Album „Obituary“ (Relapse) live vorzustellen. Das Quintett um Frontmann John Tardy tritt in Hamburg am 25.03.18 im Logo auf. Obituary aus Tampa/Florida haben mit Alben wie „Slowly We Rot“ (1989) oder „Cause Of Death“ (1990) Genre-definierende Klassiker geschaffen und zählen zu den einflussreichsten Death Metal-Bands überhaupt, ihr eigenständiger Sound ist geprägt von simplen und einprägsamen Gitarrenriffs sowie vom Gesang von John Tardy. Nach nur zwei Shows im August 2017 (Summer Breeze Festival und Dortmund) kommen die legendären Death Metaller zurück nach Deutschland, um ihr im März 2017 erschienenes zehntes Album „Obituary“ (Relapse Records) zu promoten. 1984 gründen die Brüder John (v) und Donald Tardy (dr) Xecutioner, die sich kurz vor dem Erscheinen des Debüts „Slowly We Rot“ im Jahr 1989 in Obituary umbenennen. Zusammen mit ihrem Produzenten Scott Burns erschaffen sie damit im inzwischen legendären Morrisound Studio einen Meilenstein des Death Metal, an dem sich alle Nachfolger orientieren. Obituarys Erfolg trägt maßgeblich zur Etablierung des Nischen-Genres Death Metal bei. Dabei sind sie im Laufe der Jahre mit ihrem eigenen Sound, den stetigen Tempiwechsel und dem unvergleichbaren Gesangsstil von John Tardy eine unverwechselbare Größe geworden. Mit den einigen der folgenden Alben wie zum Beispiel Pressekontakt: Erik Sabas +49 40 4133018-40 [email protected] river_concerts www.riverconcerts.de River Concerts „The End Complete” (1992), „World Demise” (1994) und „Frozen in Time” (2005) zementieren sie ihren Ruf als eine der eigenständigsten und wichtigsten Bands ihres Genres.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Embalming in Memory: Mourning, Narrativity, and Historiography in the Nineteenth-Century United States A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of English By Ashley M. Byock EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2008 2 © Copyright by Ashley M. Byock 2008 All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT Embalming in Memory: Mourning, Narrativity, and Historiography in the Nineteenth-Century United States Ashley M. Byock This dissertation argues that mid-nineteenth-century definitions of personhood, citizenship, and nationality were largely constructed through the tropes and narrative structures of sentimental mourning. This argument is developed through examinations of a wide range of materials, including novels and first-person narratives, newspaper and magazine articles, medical and scientific texts related to embalming, and legal cases that sought to regulate citizenship. Reading across these texts, this dissertation trace the emergence of two literary tropes, the deathbed tableau and the metaphor of the dead beloved “embalmed in memory,” in private, public, political, scientific, racial, and gendered discourse. As a study, ultimately, of narratives and of the status of narrativity itself, this dissertation argues that because identity is always constructed in part around losses—of others and of self, mourning sustains a uniquely rich relationship to the formation of the stories through which we define ourselves as individual and as social or political beings. The first section of this dissertation defines and examines two modes that I refer to as sentimental and counter-sentimental narrativity. The two chapters in this section examine antebellum texts in order to argue that while sentimental narrativity expresses a cultural fantasy of wholeness, sacred domesticity, and transcendent spirituality, counter-sentimental narrativity emerges as a vein within sentimentalism that both espoused and struggled against the limitations 4 of sentimental tradition.

BLABBERMOUTH.NET Page 1 of 3 Last Updated: April 2, 2007 10:0 gfedc Remember Me OBITUARY Frozen Alive (MVD/Metal Mind) For more information, click here. search text search text If you were wanting a general idea of what to expect from OBITUARY "Frozen Alive" DVD, then take a gander at the review of GRAVE "Enraptured". By that I mean that both are Metal Mind DVDs, a lab that has gotten rather proficient at the live concert DVD game. Th centerpiece is the show itself, which is professionally filmed and recorde while the bonus material includes generally informative interviews wi the members and a video or two. With that little synopsis out of the wa we can dive right into the meat of the matter. Filmed at the Stodola Club in Warsaw, Poland on August 24, 200 http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/showdvdreview.aspx?reviewID=29 4/2/2007 BLABBERMOUTH.NET Page 2 of 3 OBITUARY's performance is nothing short of classic. Though soun quality never seems to be a problem on a Metal Mind release, th quality on "Frozen Alive" is especially good and better than th somewhat cavernous sound on GRAVE's "Enraptured". Playing whopping 23-song set, the quintet is on top of its game and clearly lovin every minute of it, which always makes the experience more enjoyab for the viewer. As tight as the rest of the members are though, it vocalist John Tardy that is a veritable monster! The guy is on! Stalkin the stage with a constant snarl on his face and that flowing mane of ha Tardy sounds great and delivers the goods song after song.

Musical Means in Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death
Musical Means in Mussorgsky’s Songs and Dances of Death: A Singer’s Study Guide D.M.A. Document Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jason Fuh, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2017 Document Committee: Dr. Robin Rice, Advisor Prof. Edward Bak Dr. Alexander Burry Prof. Katherine Rohrer Copyrighted by Jason Fuh 2017 Abstract Modest Mussorgsky’s song cycle Songs and Dances of Death is a series of four miniature dramatic scenes. The text was supplied by Arseny Golenishchev-Kutuzov, who developed a keen relationship with the composer when they shared an apartment. A glance at Mussorgsky’s musical life and growth in the “Mighty Handful” circle helps us comprehend the evolution of his compositional style. At the peak of his musical maturity, the composer devoted himself to compositions in the realist, nationalist style. However, Songs and Dances of Death seems to have softened the edge of his style by incorporating lyricism, and possibly also impressionism and symbolism, into his works. Mussorgsky’s music in Songs and Dances of Death is tonal but it does not adhere to a traditional Western music theoretical analysis. Therefore, the musical analysis presented is based on defining the terms musical environment and musical energy as they emerge from the compositional components, an approach that provides yet another dimension of musical understanding in works like Mussorgsky’s. Russian diction is discussed in great detail along with a comprehensive summary of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) system for the Russian language.

Scattered Memories and Frozen Bones Revealing a Sailor of the Franklin Expedition, 1845-48
Scattered Memories and Frozen Bones Revealing a Sailor of the Franklin Expedition, 1845-48 Glenn M. Stein, FRGS copyright 2007, 2011 & 2015 For republication, please contact the author: [email protected] SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S LAST EXPEDITION The British-dominated search for a North-West Passage (a sea link between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans via the Arctic) had been going on for over 300 years, when in 1845, the Royal Geographical Society coaxed the Admiralty into making one more attempt at finding the route. At age 59, Capt. Sir 1 2 John Franklin was appointed to command Her Majesty’s Ships Erebus (Commander James Fitzjames) and Terror (Capt. Francis Crozier)3. These ships were no strangers to the ice; the Terror served in the Arctic from 1836-37, and both vessels were under the command of Sir James Clark Ross on three Antarctic voyages between 1839-43,4 during which time Crozier commanded the Terror. After over two years passed and no word was heard from the Franklin Expedition, overland and seaborne search expeditions from 1847-55 determined that all 129 officers and men of the Franklin Expedition had perished somewhere near King William Island. Perilous position of H.M.S. 'Terror', Captain Back, in the Arctic Regions in the summer of 1837, by William Smyth (National Maritime Museum, London) First Lieut. Smyth was with the 1836-37 expedition. The Erebus and Terror were never found. It was the 19th century equivalent of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. From 1857-59, a private expedition, sponsored by Lady Franklin and public subscription, was sent to search the area of King William Island.

How Underground Heavy Metal Became Mainstream Heavy Music by Dave Burns [email protected]
Lamentations of the Flame Princess (www.lotfp.com) presents: Impure Metal: How Underground Heavy Metal Became Mainstream Heavy Music By Dave Burns [email protected] Words Are Not Just Words I know this sounds a little cliché But I don’t give a damn anyway So let this be a lesson to you Though we leave we are never through If you help to keep metal alive The underground will always survive I pledge to keep it alive I promise metal will thrive I swear myself to the cause I’ll teach all the metal laws Razor “Iron Hammer” Lessons? Causes? Laws? In today’s world, the lines Dave Carlo wrote seem to be quaint relics from a bygone era in which the words “heavy metal” had a meaning that transcended music and embraced an ethos. Almost every time you placed a record on a turntable or a cassette in a deck during the 1980s, some singer was belting out lyrics targeting a whole host of enemies. Battles, wars, and violent acts were filtered through a heavy-metal prism and became tales designed to rally denim and leather troops for an approaching cataclysmic confrontation that would banish posers from the face of the earth, shatter the societal chains wrapped around individuals from birth or fundamentally alter the way that the world worked. Metal was not merely a genre of music, but an antagonistic philosophy seeking changes in the status quo: I always understood rock as a form of revolution of young people against the establishment. Though nowadays, of course, it’s one big commercial machine, deep within me the spirit is there.
