Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Live Review: Within Temptation @ O2 Academy Birmingham 9/11/18 Within Temptation are absolutely mesmerizing on their latest world tour, writes Helena Senior Tuesday 20 November 2018 PHOTO: Neon Tommy; Flickr 8/10 This is the second time I’ve seen Dutch metal band Within Temptation live at Birmingham’s O2, a symphonic metal group formed in 1996 fronted by the ever-incredible Sharon den Adel. If you’re a fan of bands like Nightwish and Evanescence, then the operatic, gothic sounds of Within Temptation will be just up your street. Within Temptation opened their set with not one, but three songs from the new album Resist (due to be released 14 December)! Usually, opening with a block of new tracks that your audience may not be familiar with would be a bad idea in my books, but these guys make it work. The moment Sharon stepped out onto that stage, to ‘Raise your Banner’, waving a large white flag she had the entire audience under her spell. Her vocal talents will never cease to amaze me, considering she’s never had formal training. The operatic elements of Within Temptation sound amazing on their studio albums, but hearing it live absolutely blows me away every time. ‘Stand My Ground’ is an old favourite of mine, from The Silent Force album, and it’s definitely a favourite for the entire crowd.

    Year-End Stamps to Feature Jean Sibelius and Finnish Rock Bands That Have Taken the World by Storm

    Media release 1 (3) 16.4.2015 Year-end stamps to feature Jean Sibelius and Finnish rock bands that have taken the world by storm Posti will release nine new stamp publications in September---November 2015, with a total of 35 different stamps. The stamps will feature musical themes ranging from Sibelius to hard rock. Design is another major theme of the upcoming releases, which include illustrations inspired by art, Finnish everyday design and crafts. Vegetables will also be in the spotlight, with chili peppers, tomatoes and herbs featured in stamps. This year’s autumn and Christmas stamps will depict urban cityscapes. Three stages in the life of Jean Sibelius In September, a miniature sheet of three stamps will commemorate Finland’s best-known composer, Jean Sibelius (1865---1957). The Jean Sibelius 150 years sheet is designed by graphic artist Pekka Loiri, a self-confessed classical music lover and Sibelius enthusiast. Loiri’s stamp designs are inspired by three different stages in Jean Sibelius’ life, each illustrated using different artistic techniques. Loiri has created a black-and-white inked-in drawing depicting Sibelius in the late 1800s as a passionate young artist living the bohemian life. A richly colored watercolor profile shows Sibelius as a symphonist in the early 1900s during the most prolific period of his career. A lithographic chalk drawing depicts Sibelius in the 1930s as an aging composer, matching the mental image that most Finns have of Sibelius. Six internationally successful rock bands The other music-themed stamp sheet to be released in September features six internationally successful Finnish rock bands that got to where they are today through a great deal of determination and perseverance.

  • Whom Ya Gonna Call?

    Whom Ya Gonna Call?

    Whom Ya Gonna Call? If there’s somethin’ strange in your neighborhood Who ya gonna call? —The Rasmus, Ghostbusters Whom. You can’t say the word without sounding snooty. As soon as your lips close on the uncool m, your nose tilts up. Imagine a group of rockers walking out on stage, announcing them- selves as (watch their noses) The Whom. Visualize Dr. Seuss sitting at his typewriter, writing about (again the nose) all the Whoms in Whomville. Picture Abbott and Costello standing at their microphones doing Whom’s on First. Silly, I know. The point is that whom, the word itself—right or wrong—offends some people’s sensibilities. “Who’s she calling offended?” I can practically hear people whis- pering.44 Even talking about the word whom feels somehow impolite. Presumptuous. Un-American. Dropping the m has become a form of cultural sensitivity, an expression of democratic values, a way of saying, “We’re in this together.” If you and I were created equal, common usage seems to say, why shouldn’t who and whom be equal too? But who and whom are no more interchangeable than you and I. Ignoring this truth (which is apparently not held to be self-evident) doesn’t make it less true. How do you know which term is correct? More to the point for the whom-averse, when is it safe to use who? 44. If you wonder about the who in “Who’s she calling offended?” come back to this question when you finish reading this chapter. 31 Word Up! Try this.

    Pressemitteilung 01.12.2017

    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 01.12.2017 The Rasmus spielen zweiten Teil ihrer Deutschlandtour Im Oktober erschien endlich und lange erwartet das neue Album von The Rasmus. Fünf Jahre hatten sich Finnlands Finest für „Dark Matter“ Zeit gelassen. Einerseits natürlich um das zu tun, was ihnen eigentlich am wichtigsten ist: so viele Konzerte wie möglich zu spielen, andererseits brauchten die Skandinavier nach der Veröffentlichung des letzten, selbstbetitelten Albums und mehreren Tourneen rund um die Welt einfach mal eine Erholungspause, nicht zuletzt um an ihrem neuen Sound feilen. Wobei sich die Band um Frontmann Lauri Ylönen sowieso mit jedem ihrer inzwischen neun Studioalben gewandelt hat. Stets waren die Gold- und Platin-verwöhnten Alternative Rocker auf der Suche nach neuen musikalischen Einflüssen und Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten, nach neuen Klangmöglichkeiten und Stilkombinationen, die immer von Ylönens markanter und absolut wiedererkennbaren Stimme zusammengehalten werden. Das hat sich auch mit „Dark Matter“ nicht geändert. Wie stark The Rasmus auf der Bühne immer noch sind, haben sie grade beim ersten Teil ihrer Tour mal wieder unter Beweis gestellt. Schon beim Opener „F-F-F-Falling“ vom Album „Into“ schien es, als sei die Zeit stehen geblieben, und auch das zweite Stück „Guilty“ von der Erfolgsplatte „Dead Letters“ zeigten Ylönen und seine Mitstreiter Gitarrist Pauli Rantasalmi, Bassist Eero Heinonen und Schlagzeuger Aki Hakala in absoluter Hochform. Im Set wechselten sich alte Hits und neue Songs perfekt ab, um das Konzert mit dem Signifying-Überhit „In the Shadows“ rauschhaft zu beenden. Oder wie konzert-nerd.de zusammenfassend über das Köln-Konzert urteilte: „Sie können es immer noch!“ Kein Wunder, bei ihrem riesigen Repertoire an Bomben-Songs.
  • Sibelius and Finnish Rock Bands on September's Stamps

    Sibelius and Finnish Rock Bands on September's Stamps

    Media release 1 (2) 4.9.2015 Sibelius and Finnish rock bands on September’s stamps Our other fall publications contain design, surrealism and city life. In September, Posti will publish five stamp publications depicting subjects such as world-famous Finnish music, everyday design, surrealistic images and life in a miniature town. The new stamps will be released on Friday September 11. Three pictures of the life of Jean Sibelius The 150th anniversary of the birth of Jean Sibelius (1865---1957) will be celebrated with his own stamp booklet containing three stamps that depict the master composer at different stages of his life. The stamps have been designed by famous graphic designer Pekka Loiri, who admits to being a friend of classical music and a devout fan of Sibelius. The Sibelius stamps show a passionate youth living the life of an artist, a symphonist living a blooming artistic phase, and an aging master composer. Pekka Loiri used a different technique for each of the stamps: a drawing in Indian ink, an aquarelle and a drawing in lithographic crayons. Loiri’s stamps also contain wisps of color, referring to Sibelius’s tendency of seeing different notes as different colors. Six rock bands that conquered the world The Million Miles Away stamp booklet features six internationally successful Finnish rock bands that got to where they are today through a great deal of determination and work. The Finnish invasion of the global rock music scene was headed by Hanoi Rocks back in the 1980s. The other bands featured on the stamps are The Rasmus, HIM, Apocalyptica, Children Of Bodom and Nightwish.
