Fates Warning One of Those Bands That Once Pioneered the Great Genre Fates Warning one of those bands that once pioneered the great genre that is progressive metal, a band that was years ahead of the now grandest name in the genre, Dream Theater. A band that is now completing their first dozen albums with Theories of Flight and for that occasion we had the fortune to ask singer Ray Alder some questions mostly about that question because most else you already know when it comes to one of the greatest names in the progressive metal genre.

    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.

  • Alive in Color
    Redemption – Alive In Color (95:57, 2-CD, DVD, AFM Records, 2020) Die Band von Nick van Dyk hat mittlerweile auch schon satte 20 Jahre auf dem Buckel. Die Zeit vergeht wie im Flug und – je älter man wird – auch viel zu schnell. Auf dem selbstbetitelten Debüt im Jahr 2003 war beinahe die halbe Mannschaft von Fates Warning vertreten (Ray Alder, Joey Vera und Mark Zonder) und bis zum sechsten Album „The Art Of Loss“ (2016) bliebt zumindest Ray Alder dem Bandgefüge als Sänger und Aushängeschild erhalten. Auch aus diesem Grund erübrigt sich fast der Hinweis, dass die Band durchweg immer hochwertige Prog-Metal-Kost veröffentlicht hat und sich weit vom Durchschnitt der üblichen Veröffentlichungen aus diesem Genre abgesetzt hat. Nun erscheint nach „Live From The Pit“ (2014) nun das zweite Live-Album der Band. Diesmal allerdings heißt der Sänger Tom S. Englund (Evergrey), der seit dem letzten Studio-Album „Long Night’s Journey Into Day“ den Platz am Mikro übernommen hat. Natürlich kann er Ray Alder nicht ersetzen, muss er aber auch nicht. Er ist im Gegenteil durchaus in der Lage, dem Sound und den (alten) Songs seine eigene Note zu verpassen, ohne dass man irgendwie traurig sein müsste, dass Herr Alder nicht mehr dabei ist. Sollte man ihn – Ray Alder – trotzdem vermissen, so gibt es zumindest auf dieser Doppel-Live-CD, mit Aufnahmen vom Prog Power USA 2018, ein kurzes Wiedersehen bzw. -hören beim Song ‚Threads‘ vom Album „The Fullness Of Time“. Diesen Song gibt es übrigens später nochmal von Tom Englund gesungen. So hat man, sofern man ihn denn benötigt, den direkten Vergleich.

Heavy-metal in the 1970s was Blue Oyster Cult, Aerosmith, Kiss, AC/DC, Journey, Boston, Rush, and it was the most theatrical and brutal of rock genres. It was not easy to reconcile this genre with the anti-heroic ethos of the punk era. It could have seemed almost impossible to revive that genre, that was slowly dying, in an era that valued the exact opposite of machoism, and that was producing a louder and noisier genre, hardcore. Instead, heavy metal began its renaissance in the same years of the new wave, capitalizing on the same phenomenon of independent labels. Credit goes largely to a British contingent of bands, that realized how they could launch a "new wave of British heavy metal" during the new wave of rock music. Motorhead (1), formed by ex-Hawkwind bassist Ian "Lemmy" Kilminster, were the natural bridge between heavy metal, Stooges/MC5 and punk-rock. They played demonic, relentless rock'n'roll at supersonic speed: Iron Horse (1977), Metropolis (1979), Bomber (1979), Jailbait (1980), Iron Fist (1982), etc.

  • Anthrax Volume 8 Full Album Download Anthrax: the Story Behind Every Album Cover
    anthrax volume 8 full album download Anthrax: the story behind every album cover. Unlike Slayer, Anthrax have always had a huge amount of input into their cover art, especially drummer Charlie Benante. Seizing control of the band’s aesthetic after the widely-ridiculed Fistful Of Metal sleeve, Benante has conceived, overseen and approved every image the band have since stamped their name on, tracing an artistic line from the garish excesses of the 80s, through the moody, minimalist 90s, to the hip superhero likenesses and ‘Pentathrax’ insignia of their post-millennial graphic design. In 2016 Charlie told Artist Direct “That’s one of the reasons I still take the time and effort to make an album cover: I want our audience to get lost in it.” Here are the stories behind every Anthrax sleeve… Fistful Of Metal (1984) “The cover was all wrong, but we didn’t have the budget to do anything else,” admits Scott Ian in his 2014 autobiography I’m The Man . The notorious sleeve was conceived by short-lived frontman Neil Turbin (whose homemade glove is depicted on the fist) and painted by a friend of guitarist Dan Spitz, who clinched the job when he designed the band’s iconic logo. It often ends up in ‘worst cover of all time’ lists, a status the band agreed with, although Scott says he’s grown fonder of it over the years “just because it’s so goofy”, reasoning “all the big thrash debut albums… had terrible covers.” Spreading The Disease (1985) Boasting surely the most famous sneaker soles in heavy metal history, the cover art for Spreading The Disease was produced by designer Peter Corriston and illustrator Dave Heffernan.
