Metal Madness: an Interview with Kingsmen Metal Madness: An Interview with Kingsmen Tanner Guimond Welcome to Metal Madness my fellow metalheads, covering all things metal, metalcore, deathcore and hardcore in the Providence area. I recently had the privilege of talking to Kingsmen, one of Providence’s premier melodic deathcore acts. This five-piece is made up of former members of Fortune Favors the Brave and Scriptures. The band has been around since 2016, and since its inception, Kingsmen have garnered a large fanbase and signed with Extreme Management Group, known for managing such acts as Suffocation and Rings of Saturn. If you’re into crushing breakdowns, searing melodic vocals and overall death-core madness, this is the band for you. What you notice at a Kingsmen show, apart from the raw talent and stage presence, is that for a band that hasn’t been around for a long time, they play like a seasoned band that’s been on the road for years. That comes from the dedication that the band has to their art. I caught up with lead singer Tanner Guimond Sunday night at Fete Musical hall where the band was headlining a show. Erik Nivison (Motif): How did you get together? Tanner Guimond: It all kinda happened four or five years ago. So Dylan Robertson and I were in Fortune Favors the Brave, and Frank, Adam and Tim were in a band called Scriptures. We did a couple of shows together during a weekender run, it was kinda like after going out we realized we had some chemistry. After those bands fell apart Tim (lucier guitar) reached out to me and we brought Dylan in and wrote a few songs. One day I was driving and one of our demos popped up. I texted Tim and said we should go and record one of those songs for the hell of it and he messaged me back saying he had already booked studio time with Adam (Bakelman bass) to record the songs that we were working on, plus a few more. At that point me and Dylan got back involved, Frank came into the picture and we went into the studio in July of 2016. Tanner Guimond EN: What are some of your influences? TG: As far my influences for singing, I definitely think that James Labrie from Dream Theater is a huge one for sure. I also like for screaming definitely Randy Blythe (Lamb of God); he is a big influence of mine, also Dez from Devildriver is a big one too. One of the biggest things for me personally when it comes to being a singer, a frontman and a screamer it’s like … I love pronunciation … especially when I’m screaming. If I can’t understand them (screamers) chances are I’m not the biggest fan of them. The rest of the guys, like Tim is a big Killswitch Engage fan — Unearth, I think, is his hands-down favorite band — Frank likes Issues and The Devil Wears Prada, Adam is the complete opposite of us he’s like a Steel Panther, Iron Maiden kinda guy, and Dylan is a big death metal guy. You can definitely hear it in his playing. That’s where all of our influences derive from for sure. EN: What role do you think you have within the scene with your fans and other bands? TG: If Kingsmen is going to be anything for the Providence scene, I will help people to understand how we did it, and hopefully that can help them do what they want to do the right way. We’re here to help, because at the end of the day being in a band isn’t competition. Every musician wants to go on stage and straight slay it! You know they wanna be the better band on stage. When you get off that stage and you are talking to fans, and you’re networking — if you don’t network among each other as band members from different bands with your fans the scene won’t grow. EN: In light of recent events in Las Vegas, what are your thoughts on security as a band? You play live in a genre that arguably had the first concert shooting, when Dimebag Darrell (Superjoint Ritual, Pantera) was killed. Would you arm yourself? TG: It’s tough ya know security. What is too much security and what is too little? Something in this is just my personal opinion on it. Something I would do? Let’s say, hypothetically speaking, if I was a venue owner or if I was putting on festivals like the Las Vegas festival, I would make sure that my security is briefed on the type of show it is and understand the crowd, ya know? Like a metal show, you have to understand that people are going to push each other. Personally, and every one knows this that follows me, I’m not a fan of the hardcore dancing swing and hit someone on the side of the face and be okay with it type thing. Hardcore dancing, I mean sure, if you and your friends want to do that and you’re not hurting anyone else, go ahead. When it comes to the hateful moshing in general, I’m just not a fan of it. Now I do think security should be armed. EN: What about you yourself? As an artist, as a band? TG: Personally I will, I would be armed. Oh yeah, for sure. You never know where you’re going. Bands get stuff stolen from them all the time. I am definitely an advocate for guns; I think it’s everyone’s right to own a firearm as long as the screening process is legitimate. One of the things I can’t stress enough because I’ve had a lot of debates on this is the gun control policy on how private selling has a kind of loose regulation to it, and also the screening process. There are some things that need to be addressed when it comes to someone owning a firearm. Now that’s not to say that some shootings involve someone who is using an illegal firearm. Still there are shootings that happen where people who have been screened were able to buy these firearms, and they probably should not have had them. Kingsmen play The Rise of Metal!, which is a two-stage all-day event at the Fete Music Hall on Nov 19. Email all metal events and news to [email protected].

    Throughout history, art rejoices and revels in the wisdom of women. Within a deck of tarot cards, the High Priestess serves as the guardian of the unconscious. In Greek mythology, the old oracles celebrate the Mother Goddess. William Shakespeare posited portentous prescience in the form of MacBeth’s “Three Witches.” On their sixth full-length album Ritual, In This Moment—Maria Brink [vocals, piano], Chris Howorth [lead guitar], Travis Johnson [bass], Randy Weitzel [rhythm guitar], and Kent Diimel [drums]—unearth a furious and focused feminine fire from a cauldron of jagged heavy metal, hypnotic alternative, and smoky voodoo blues. It’s an evolution. It’s a statement. It’s In This Moment 2017… “It’s like we’re going into the next realm,” asserts Maria. “I had a conviction of feeling empowered in my life and with myself. I always write from a personal place, and I needed to share that sense of strength. I’ve never been afraid to hold back. Sometimes, I can be very suggestive. However, I wanted to show our fans that this is the most powerful side of myself and it’s without overt sexuality. It’s that deeper serious fire inside of my heart.” “What Maria is saying comes from deep inside,” Chris affirms. “This time, we had a bunch of ideas started before we hit the studio. There was a really clear direction. It’s different.” The group spent two years supporting their biggest album yet 2014’s Black Widow. Upon release, it seized their highest position to date on the Billboard Top 200, bowing at #8.

ABSOLUTE EDITORIAL Absolute Editorial #3 Things are coming together nicely for us here at Absolute Underground. This is starting go be fun! We’re getting into a few free shows and people are starting to send in CD’s for us to review. We’ve got a lot of new people pitching in to make this rag better than ever. Emily Kendy joins us from Vancouver and brings with her a very impressive resume (The Nerve, Discorder, Terminal City, Exclaim...). We’ll be featuring a different Vancouver based band each issue starting with scum punks the Excessives. With the new Arena and Rod Stewart having played Victoria, you can just feel that this is going to be a great year for live music around town. I’m always impressed with the turnout and energy of the younger crowds at the all-ages shows. Even if you’re old you should go check one out sometime. You might find it invigorating to jump in a circle pit of mohawked fury. It was great hanging out with the crew at Spitfire Tattoo special thanks to Rick and Amanda. Electric Frankenstein was an amazing show and just proves that Victoria gets wicked shows all the time. A big middle finger to the asshole bouncers @ Diego’s who wouldn’t let me in even though I was on the guest list and then proceeded to tell the headlining act CHOKE to “pack their shit, they weren’t going to play.” This was after two huge idiots working the door beat up CHOKE’s drummer who weighs about a buck ten soaking wet.

  • 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.

  • Original Austrian Alpencore
    ORIGINAL AUSTRIAN ALPENCORE TUXEDO, often referred to as one of the most upcoming core bands of Austria. They convey power, energy and, most important, they enjoy what they do. A concert of tuXedo is not just a concert, it`s an experience in which in every second on stage something happens. Not for nothing they were nominated for the title „Best Austrian band 2014 „ by the largest Austrian music station and reached the 2nd place in that voting! Their so-called Alpine Core is a blend of metalcore and thrash metal in many facets. Powerful, but also very melodic guitar riffs, combined with brutal shoutings and ear worms which you will not forget. A trademark for that incredible pressure, the guys convey on stage, are the pounding, monstrous drums and percussions, which give the show something really special. Everything is rounded off by their traditional Austrian stage outfit. What would be Alpine Core without leather pants and shirt? tuXedo is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. This will be celebrated at several shows in 2015. The boys have plenty of stage experience. In over 150 shows, since 2012, they have destroyed stages in Austria, Germany, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This is the reason why they have a quiet big fan base. Due to their versatile music and their likeable live show with many funny moments, the band succeeded in winning fans with completely different tastes of music. From the typical core audience, metallers with other preferences, right up to the „non-metallers“, everybody is in front of stage when tuXedo asks for a dance.
