Magnum (GB) Genre: Hard Rock Label: SPV / Steamhammer Album Titel: the Serpent Rings Spielzeit: 59:44 VÖ: 17.01.2020 Band: Magnum (GB) Genre: Hard Rock Label: SPV / Steamhammer Album Titel: The Serpent Rings Spielzeit: 59:44 VÖ: 17.01.2020 2 Jahre vor dem anstehenden 50-jährigen Bandjubiläum beglückt uns die Classic Rock-Legende Magnum mit ihrem 21. Studioalbum. Für mich zählt die TRACKLIST Band zu einem der absoluten Urgesteine klassischen Melodic Rocks und hat 01. Where Are You Eden? mich durch meine gesamte Zeit als Rock-Fan begleitet. 02. You Can't Run Faster Than Bullets Titel wie "Kingdom of Madness" oder "If I Could Live Forever" wurden bei mir 03. Madman Or Messiah schnell zu unvergesslichen Klassikern. Vor allem Sänger Bob Catley gehört für 04. The Archway Of Tears mich zur Königsliga des Genres und hat mich zuletzt mit seinem Auftritt auf 05. Not Forgiven der aktuellen Avantasia Scheibe begeistert, was meine Lust auf das neue 06. The Serpent Rings Werk noch steigerte. Konnte mich die neue Scheibe nun überzeugen und vor 07. House Of Kings allem; wird sie auch den Fans zusagen? 08. The Great Unknown 09. Man 10. The Last One On Earth Nun, mit dem vom Keyboard getriebenen AOR-Stampfer "Where Are You 11. Crimson On The White Sand Eden?" steigt die neue Scheibe schon mal direkt gut ein. Es ist alles da, griffige Gitarren, pompöse Keyboards, symphonisch anmutende Klänge und ein eingängiger Refrain. Tony Clarkin veredelt die Nummer mit einem schwebenden Solo und dem Hörer wird klar, das man es hier mit professionellster Rockmusik zu tun hat. Die Band ist einfach seit Jahrzehnten absolut perfekt eingespielt und, trotz der Neubesetzung am Bass, mit hörbar LINEUP funktionierender Chemie am Musizieren. Der Viersaiter ist mit Pink Cream 69 Bob Catley - Vocals Tony Clarkin - Guitars / Unisonic-Mann Dennis Ward aber auch vortrefflich besetzt worden. Rick Benton - Keyboards Dennis Ward - Bass Mit Stücken wie "Madman or Messiah" schaffen es die Mannen aus Lee Morris - Drums Birmingham dann sogar zu klingen, als höre man eine der ersten drei Scheiben der Band. Der Retro-Keyboardeinsatz zu rockigen Riffs, das leicht folkige und pompöse Flair und die melodischen Gesänge, alles ist dabei. Nicht zu vergessen Tony Clarkins auf den Punkt gespielte Soli, mit denen jeder Titel - mancher gar mehrmals - veredelt wird. Doch auch für INFORMATIONEN Abwechslung wird reichlich gesorgt. So hat man mit "Not Forgiven" einen facebook.com/ magnumbandpage klassisch entspannten Rock Song vorzuweisen, wagt sich bei "House of Kings" www.magnumonline.co.uk gar an jazzige Elemente und bietet mit "The Great Unknown" auch phasenweise balladeskere Klänge. Autor: Slaine Fazit: Das neue Werk der Urgesteine Magnum konnte durch die Bank recht gut überzeugen und ist vor allem dank der Titel, die wirklich an die Ursprungstaten der Band erinnern wirklich allen Fans der Band wärmstens ans Herz zu legen. Mir persönlich fehlen hier und da vielleicht die Ohrwurm Refrains, aber das ist Meckern auf sehr hohem Level. Metal Only e.V.

  • The Fantasy of Whiteness: Blackness and Aboriginality in American and Australian Culture
    The Fantasy of Whiteness: Blackness and Aboriginality in American and Australian Culture Benjamin Miller A thesis submitted to the School of English, Media and Performing Arts at the University of New South Wales in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2009 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname: MILLER First name: BENJAMIN Other name/s: IAN Degree: PhD School: ENGLISH, MEDIA AND PERFORMING ARTS Faculty: ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Title: MR ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that a fantasy of white authority was articulated and disseminated through the representations of blackness and Aboriginality in nineteenth-century American and Australian theatre, and that this fantasy influenced the representation of Aboriginality in twentieth- century Australian culture. The fantasy of whiteness refers to the habitually enacted and environmentally entrenched assumption that white people can and should superintend the cultural representation of Otherness. This argument is presented in three parts. Part One examines the complex ways in which white anxieties and concerns were expressed through discourses of blackness in nineteenth-century American blackface entertainment. Part Two examines the various transnational discursive connections enabled by American and Australian blackface entertainments in Australia during the nineteenth century. Part Three examines the legacy of nineteenth-century blackface entertainment in twentieth-century Australian culture. Overall, this dissertation investigates some of the fragmentary histories and stories about Otherness that coalesce within Australian culture. This examination suggests that representations of Aboriginality in Australian culture are influenced and manipulated by whiteness in ways that seek to entrench and protect white cultural authority. Even today, a phantasmal whiteness is often present within cultural representations of Aboriginality.

  • MAGNUM the Visitation (Hard Rock)
    MAGNUM The visitation (Hard Rock) Année de sortie : 2010 Nombre de pistes : 10 Durée : 57' Support : MP3 Provenance : Reçu du label Bon, MAGNUM, je ne présente plus le groupe, vous pourrez en cas de besoin consultez mes autres chroniques sur le site. Je précise à nouveau que je suis un fan absolu, donc, pardonnez-moi si je manque d'objectivité ! Voilà, je n'ai aucune information concernant ce nouvel opus à vous transmettre, si ce n'est que l'album sort le 17 janvier 2011 et qu'après avoir écouté ces mp3, je vais me payer l'album. D'ici sa sortie officielle, nous aurons peut-être quelques informations, la maison de disques spv n'ayant pas joint de bio avec ces mp3 ! A la première écoute, j'avoue avoir été très dérouté... Je me suis demandé si le groupe n'était pas complètement passé à côté de son sujet ! Et puis, je me suis posé, j'ai pris le temps de me laisser envahir par ces subtiles mélodies et une émotion venue de loin, ressemblant au bonheur, a envahi tout mon être ! Oui, MAGNUM signe un chef d'oeuvre dont les racines et l'inspiration vont puiser dans le Rock-Hard voire Hard-Rock des années 70' tout en restant moderne avec une touche progressive délectable ! Les compositions sont particulièrement longues, une moyenne de 5,50 minutes et laissent tout le loisir aux musiciens d' exp(l)oser leur talent ! Je ne comprends pas cet album, je le vis comme un cadeau venu du ciel... Voilà, c'est un coup de coeur pour moi et je ne l'explique pas ! Les commentaires sont là si à sa sortie vous ne partagez pas cette note élevée mais au risque de

  • MAGNUM 28. März 2018 Stuttgart Im Wizemann the Road to Eternity
    MAGNUM 28. März 2018 Stuttgart Im Wizemann The Road To Eternity Tour 2018 Im März 2018 präsentiert die über Ländergrenzen hinweg gefeierte Rockband MAGNUM auf ihrer ausgedehnten Europa-Tournee mit „Lost on the Road to Eternity“ ihr inzwischen 20. Studioalbum. Man darf sich also auch auf neue fulminante Live-Shows in Deutschland gefasst machen. Gegründet wurde MAGNUM bereits 1972 von Sängerurgestein Bob Catley und Songwriter/Gitarrist Tony Clarkin, die noch immer den Kern der Band bilden. Der Name MAGNUM (lateinischen "das Große"), passt wie die Faust aufs Auge zur einzigartigen Band aus Birmingham. Denn mit Album-Meilensteinen wie „On A Storyteller's Night“, „Vigilante“ und „Wings Of Heaven“ aus den 80ern, „Goodnight L.A.“ und „Sleepwalking“ aus den 90ern sowie „Brand New Morning“, „The Visitation“ und „On The 13th Day“ aus diesem Jahrtausend, gehören sie zu den wenigen echten Giganten des Melodic Rock. Neben dem neuen und sensationellen Album „Lost on the Road to Eternity“ präsentieren sie mit Lee Morris (Schlagzeug) und Rick Benton (Keyboard) auch zwei neue Bandmitglieder. Auf einigen Festivals 2017, hat die brillante Band aus Birmingham schon gezeigt, das sie auch in neuer Formation sensationell harmonieren. Der permanent komponierende Tony Clarkin hat sich mit seinen Band-Kollegen auch beim neuen Album sichtlich ins Zeug gelegt. Man darf sich also wieder auf den typischen und einzigartigen MAGNUM-Sound freuen, dessen Erkennungsmerkmal definitiv Cartleys warmer und sanfter Gesang ist. Der charismatische Klang seiner Stimme hat ihn im Laufe der Jahre zweifelsfrei zu einer der wichtigsten Rockstimmen weltweit gemacht. Die bestehenden Bandmitglieder Bob Catley, Tony Clarkin und Alan Barrow kehren nun also zurück nach Deutschland und brennen darauf ein neues Kapitel in der 40 jährigen MAGNUM-Geschichte zu schreiben.
