DRAGONFORCE Ultra Beatdown (Melodic Speed Metal) DRAGONFORCE Ultra beatdown (Melodic Speed Metal) Année de sortie : 2008 Nombre de pistes : 8 Durée : 58' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté En seulement sept années de labeur, on ne pourra pas dire de DRAGONFORCE qu'il n'a pas fait parler de lui. Il faut êter clair ces gens-là divisent les métalleux. Il y a ceux qui trouvent que la vitesse affiché par les Anglais est digne du génie et ceux qui ne trouvent aucun intérêt à cet ersatz des poids lourds du genre, qui trace un chemin effréné à la gloire des notes jouées en moins de temps possible. Avec Ultra beatdown ces derniers vont peut être réviser leur jugement . Effectivement le torrent de solos semblent s'être calmé et Herman LI et son band ont essayé de faire entrer plus de feeling que précédemment. Les immuables sons synthétiques et overspeedés sont toujours présents mais la cascade sonique semble se canaliser petit à petit, le courant est toujours fort mais de sérieuses barrières anti-débordement ont été mises en place. Reste que Ultra beatdown est un disque plutôt agréable, accrocheur à l'oreille, clair dans ses intentions et très speed dans son approche. Les Brittons n'ont plus rien à prouver, sinon à eux-mêmes. Il n'y a pas donc de risque à dire que ce disque n'a rien de génial mais qu'il rentre dans une bonne moyenne par rapport à l'abondante discographie pour une formation qui a débuté en 2001. De même, dire que DRAGONFORCE tourne un peu en rond serait exagéré puisque ce disque est la preuve vivante des désirs d'évolution clairement démontrés pendant huit titres. Ce nouvel album de DRAGONFORCE prouve et confirme le talent de ce combo qui montre une fois de plus qu'il peut s'essayer avec succès à d'autres horizons, tout en gardant une homogénéité certaine au sein de tous ses titres.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • 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.

  • The Shadow of Purexo
    The Shadow of Purexo Lasse Öörni 1 2 NaNoWriMo 2011. Dedicated to the grand master chefs who each day sub- merge themselves in the art and science of preparing the most challenging desserts for the rest of us to enjoy. Also dedicated to Carolyn Keene. It is recommended to eat bun pudding and orange rice while reading. The character Okko created by Tomi Thurlin. Used with permission (as far as the author remembers.) 3 4 1. ”The composition's already close to optimal. Just have to keep the temperature firmly in check,” Lothar Wa- gener mused to himself as he eyed the yellow-brownish mass bubbling in a glass container, heated by a gas burner underneath. His present location was ten metres below ground, at Purexo's secret research facility for especially chal- lenging desserts (referred to ECD's in official memos.) He was the scientist in charge of product develop- ment and analysis. Purexo was the global leader of food, events and fa- cilities management services. Its morals and ethics had been questioned in the media several times. There had been demonstrations against the company, sometimes bordering on riots. Even some famous people had been arrested during these demonstrations. As for some of the less famous persons arrested – they had never been heard from again. Lothar had long ago learned not to care of his em- ployer’s public image, and did not feel any measure of guilt twisting his heart if he happened to ponder what fate had fallen upon those poor devils. And in any case that was a matter for the security division, not product 5 development.
