Biography Biografie Biography ince 2005, SVARTSOT has conveyed their distinctive blend of metal and folk music with a hint of the medieval age. Besides s crushing guitars, bass and drums, the music is flavoured with the tones of authentic folk instruments such as whistles, mandolins and bagpipes adding the ruthless medieval feel, and melodies that only a lobotomy can remove from the head. Inspiration for SVARTSOT’s lyrics is found in the wealth of Danish folklore and history, and the merciless growled vocals of Thor (yes that is his real name!) are therefore entirely delivered in Danish. After the self-release of the demos “Svundne Tider” (2005) and “Tvende Ravne” (2006), SVARTSOT inked a deal with the renowned Austrian label NAPALM RECORDS in 2007. Hereafter followed the release of the albums “Ravnenes Saga” (2007) and “Mulmets Viser” (2010). The new album “maledictus eris”, which was released in July/August 2011, tells the tale of the Black Death’s devastating entrance into Danish history and is characterized by a marked musical maturing of the band. SVARTSOT is an established name on stages in both Denmark and abroad. The band can thus look back on an extensive back catalogue of tours, shows and festivals (for example tours and shows with bands such as Týr, Alestorm, Negură Bunget and festival appearances at Wacken Open Air, Paganfest extended shows (with Finntroll and Eluveitie), Metalfest Austria, and the Russian Oktobierfest (with Korpiklaani) amongst many others). Biografie chon seit 2005 liefern SVARTSOT ihre unverkennbare Mischung aus Metal und Folk mit leichten Mittelalter-Einschlägen. Neben s Vernichtenden Gitarren-, Bass- und Drumattacken sorgen authentische Folkinstrumente wie Flöten, Mandolinen, Dudelsäcke für das unbarmherzige Mittelalter-Feeling und Melodien, die man ohne Lobotomie so schnell nicht aus dem Kopf bekommt. Lyrisch ziehen SVARTSOT ihre Inspiration aus der Dänischen Geschichte und Folklore, die Gnadenlosen Growls von Thor (ja, das ist sein richtiger Name!) sind daher auch durchweg in Dänisch gehalten. Nach denen in Eigenproduktion veröffentlichen Demos "Svundne Tider" (2005) und "Tvende Ravne" (2006) unterzeichneten SVARTSOT einen Plattendeal bei dem renommierten Österreichischen Label NAPALM RECORDS, woraufhin die beiden Veröffentlichungen "Ravnenes Saga" (2007) und "Mulmets Viser" (2010) folgten. Das neue Album "maledictus eris", welches im Juli/August 2011 veröffentlicht wurde, erzählt wie der Schwarze Tod einen verheerenden Einzug in die Dänische Geschichte gehalten hat und zeichnet sich durch starke musikalische Reifung der Band aus. Inzwischen ist SVARTSOT ein etablierter Name sowohl auf Dänischen als auch auf internationalen Bühnen. Die Band kann auf eine umfangreiche Tour- und Festivalerfahrung zurückgreifen (Touren u.a. mit Bands wie Týr, Alestorm, Negură Bunget – Festivalauftritte beim Wacken Open Air, Paganfest extended shows (mit Finntroll und Eluveitie), Metalfest Austria, und das russische Oktobierfest (mit Korpiklaani) u.a.).

  • Considering Genre in Metal Music © Benjamin Hillier, 2020. The
    Considering Genre in Metal Music © Benjamin Hillier, 2020. The definitive, peer reviewed, and edited version of this article is published in Metal Music Studies, Volume 6, Number 1, pp. 5-26, 2020, doi: https://doi.org/10.1386/mms_00002_1 Keywords: extreme metal, genre, heavy metal, metal musicology, metal studies, music analysis Introduction In the late 1980s and early 1990s metal music experienced a widespread fracturing of musical styles resulting in the proliferation of a vast number of subgenres under the broad umbrella of 'metal'. This was especially prevalent amongst the collection of subgenres commonly referred to as 'extreme metal'. The differences between these subgenres are of deep importance to many fans and musicians for whom genre is an integral element of their musical identity and authenticity as ‘metalheads’ (Smialek, 2015). Despite this acknowledged importance, there is still a need to establish what Kahn-Harris calls ‘a widely accepted vocabulary for identifying the constituent musical features of metal’ (2011: 252). Metal studies broadly remains ‘undertheorized and undermethdologized’ (Weinstein, 2016: 29) with a need to clarify its academic rigour (Savigny and Schaap, 2018). It is these needs that this article seeks to address by analyzing the relevant literature discussing genre in metal and responding to the shortcomings identified. This article proposes both a taxonomy for classifying metal subgenres and a model that provides a series of interconnected characteristics to assist in defining these subgenres. By clearly outlining ways in which we might organize the different ‘levels’ of subgenres, this article aims to provide a common vocabulary for metal studies scholars to use when analyzing genres and their relationships.

It is a complex amplification of heavy metal that has garnered increased attention during the last two decades due to some bands becoming more popular and accessible than anticipated for the styles it comprises. Although women have a small but steady presence in heavy metal, this number shrinks when applied to extreme metal - a subculture which has typically been coded as a masculine domain (Purcell 2003; Kahn-Harris 2007; Walser 1993; Weinstein 1991). For women, participating in such an overwhelmingly male-coded environment can incur sexism, marginalization, and misogyny.

  • Master of Fine Arts Thesis Joyride Nicholas Weddell Submitted in Partial Satisfaction of the Requirement for the Degree of Mast
    Master of Fine Arts Thesis Joyride Nicholas Weddell Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirement for the degree of Master of Fine Arts, School of Art and Design Division of Ceramic Art New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University Alfred, New York 2019 Nick Weddell, MFA Thesis Advisors: John Gill, Jason Green, Johnathan Hopp, Matt Kelleher, Linda Sikora, Linda Sormin Prologue Avalanches of aerated alchemy appear alien and adrenocorticotrophic. Big blobs blast over bumps, boops, and beeps. Creamy chromium covers cavity and crack, cancel caution for a chance to capture celebration. Dripping drops droop decadently, as eccentric enzymes erupt with emotion and eutectics express existence for epochs. Flirt with familiarity through fused flint furniture. Goopy gobs and gibby gops, gargantuan glaze grandeur makes Nick giddy. Hides of high heat honey handsomely hugs handle and hip. Iron interwoven inside ingredients inches impulsively. Jazzy junk and joyful jelly jovially bejewels jungle-like jurisdictions on a jumping joyride down jar and joint. Kaleidoscope kitchens and kindergarden kingdoms. Lumpy landscapes of luscious lime and luxurious lavender. Metaphorical mountainous mixtures move immodestly, matte maelstroms make masks of mauve muck mayhem. Nickel nabs nature in nebulous necklaces like neon nectar. Obscene ounces of oxide ooze over objects opposite of ordinary. Philosopher of phenomenon, passion picks the path of potassium to pool ponds on practical pots. Quote your quirk in a quantity of quartz quagmires. Righteous raspberry reactions race over rubble and rock, roaring rivers red with romance run rebelliously round. Stoneware slumps and stormy staccatos of swarming suspensions swath slabs and surge subjects. Tango with transparent turquoise typhoons that travel and tour over table and teapot.

The rise of interest in heavy metal academically reflects the growth of the genre as a normal or con- tested part of everyday lives around the globe. The aim of this series is to provide a home and focus for the growing number of monographs and edited collections that analyse heavy metal and other heavy music; to publish work that fits within the emergent subject field of metal music studies; that is, work that is critical and inter-disciplinary across the social sciences and humanities; to publish work that is of interest to and enhances wider disciplines and subject fields across social sciences and the humanities; and to support the development of early career researchers through providing opportunities to convert their doctoral theses into research monographs.

  • Classification of Heavy Metal Subgenres with Machine Learning
    Thomas Rönnberg Classification of Heavy Metal Subgenres with Machine Learning Master’s Thesis in Information Systems Supervisors: Dr. Markku Heikkilä Asst.

Prof. József Mezei Abstract: The music industry is undergoing an extensive transformation as a result of growth in streaming data and various AI technologies, which allow for more sophisticated marketing and sales methods. Since consumption patterns vary by different factors such as genre and engagement, each customer segment needs to be targeted uniquely for maximal efficiency. A challenge in this genre-based segmentation method lies in today’s large music databases and their maintenance, which have shown to require exhausting and time-consuming work. This has led to automatic music genre classification (AMGC) becoming the most common area of research within the growing field of music information retrieval (MIR). A large portion of previous research has been shown to suffer from serious integrity issues. The purpose of this study is to re-evaluate the current state of applying machine learning for the task of AMGC. Low-level features are derived from audio signals to form a custom-made data set consisting of five subgenres of heavy metal music. Different parameter sets and learning algorithms are weighted against each other to derive insights into the success factors. The results suggest that admirable results can be achieved even with fuzzy subgenres, but that a larger number of high-quality features are needed to further extend the accuracy for reliable real-life applications.
