Statement from King King: “It is with a heavy heart that we as King King, have to let you know we have had a slight issue in regards to the artwork for the album which means that it has had to be recalled in order for this to be fixed. We have worked so hard on this record and we feel that you guys deserve the absolute best quality from all aspects of production that we are able to give you so...in simple terms it means now - especially with new restrictions imposed on all industries a few more weeks is needed to deliver the album to you. We understand that you guys have been waiting patiently to have the new album in your hands and we know this delay will be frustrating but if we can ask you to hang in there just a little longer, it will be worth the wait. We feel we have the best fans in the world and hope you will understand that this is disappointing and frustrating for us too but, we promise you the best album we have ever made. Take care and be safe from all at team King King!” The first single ‘I Will Not Fall’, which has been A-listed on Planet Rock, and is available as an instant grat track with all pre-orders, plus exclusive content including track by track commentary by Alan Nimmo. “Maverick” follows 2017’s critically acclaimed album “Exile & Grace” and includes the new line-up featuring Alan Nimmo (vocals/guitar), Stevie Nimmo (guitar), Jonny Dyke (organ/piano), Zander Greenshields (bass) and Andrew Scott (drums). The album was engineered and mixed by Liam McCluskey at Morsecode Studios in Glasgow. Produced by Alan Nimmo, Jonny Dyke and Liam McCluskey at Morsecode Studios in Glasgow, the new album is co-written by Alan Nimmo (guitar, lead vocals), Zander Greenshields (bass), Jonny Dyke (keyboards), Andrew Scott (drums), with all lyrics written by Alan Nimmo. “Recording the new album with the new line-up has been a whole lot of fun and very interesting,” says Alan Nimmo. “It’s great watching the guys using the great talent they have bringing the songs to life.” Most of the songs, bar one, were co-written by all the band members, while all arrangements were co- written by Alan and keyboardist Jonny Dyke. Says Alan, “I value contributions from all of the guys in the making of new music. Johnny and I found a great rhythm working together. We just got our heads down and made sure that the songs were arranged in the best way possible.” King King have evolved as a band, and their fifth album, Maverick, is no exception. But what makes this new album different from all the previous King King albums? “Maverick is an album that I chose to write with complete freedom,” explains Alan. “Musically, it’s more mature and more complex than our previous records, but it also has the simplicity of an album that just has great catchy songs that people will want to sing along with. The essence of King King is still there and always will be. We hope the energy, fun and passion is evident throughout!” But why call the new album Maverick? “I named the album Maverick at a time when it was risky to do so,” says Alan. “I made some bold moves and changes from band members to behind-the-scenes stuff. I guess that’s who I am. I’m a risk-taker!” ALBUM TRACK LISTING Never Give In * Fire In My Soul ** Whatever It Takes To Survive I Will Not Fall By Your Side * ** One World * Everything Will Be Alright ** When My Winter Comes Dance Together End Of The Line PRODUCTION CREDITS All lyrics A.

There’s no denying the momentum of the Glasgow rockers saluted as “the best blues-rock band in the world” (Blues Rock Review). But for Alan Nimmo (vocals/guitar), Zander Greenshields (bass), Andrew Scott (drums) and Jonny Dyke (organ/piano), it’s far from mission accomplished. “We’re not stopping to smell the roses,” says Alan. “We want to take this band as far as we can.” If the year ahead had not been so busy, King King might allow themselves a moment to reflect on the triumphs of 2017. In another year of quantum leaps, perhaps the main event was Exile & Grace. Produced by Wayne Proctor and Alan Nimmo, Mixed by Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Feeder, Therapy?), this fourth album was released October 13th, unveiling a track listing that bristled with sharply observed lyrics and blues-rock firepower. “There’s an underlying theme on the new album,” explains Alan. “Some of the main songs are about the state of the world, y’know, this beautiful blue planet that’s turning into a battlefield. There’s an edgier, rockier feel this time around, but you’ve got the soulful ballads as well. It’s still King King. It’s just what we’re doing now.” For a band with press plaudits to burn, it was no surprise to see Exile & Grace saluted by the rock media and crowned as Classic Rock’s Blues Album of the Year. Likewise, it was business as usual as the album stormed to the top of the iTunes and Amazon Blues charts. But this time around, there was no mistaking the sense of a band making its commercial breakthrough, as Exile & Grace hijacked the official UK album charts (at #31), putting King King amongst the A-list and firmly onto the mainstream radar. Not only the jewel in their studio catalogue, Exile & Grace is also giving King King’s setlists a shot in the arm, as the band roll out on a white-knuckle 2018 tour schedule that would make lesser road warriors quake. With the addition of respected keys man Jonny Dyke (ex-James Morrison/Elkie Brooks), they’re wasting no time, hitting the New Year running with a five-date UK tour that kicks off at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire, then rolling on to major cities across Europe (“We just need to believe in that old adage from Wayne’s World – if you build it, they will come,” says Alan of the auspicious venues in the diary.

One of the most glorious launches in history, the title track for the thrice-platinum The Final Countdown is so bombastically brilliant, such glorious garbage, that this nuclear hair assault could only spew from the vacuous '80s. But the full-tilt follow-up "Rock the Night" rules also: "You know it ain't easy/Running out of thrills." "Carrie" comes off a consummate butane ballad. Meanwhile, the rest of the disc packs so much power that Swedish superheroes Europe get away with all the processed pretension. In fact, the lofty ambition of "Danger on the Track," "Ninja," and "Cherokee" (each as tasty as its title) combines with heated drive and hot delivery to meld The Final Countdown into a unique portrait of propulsive prog and a worthy addition to any hard rock collection. This is the story; this is the legend told by Teutonic guitars and predictable keyboards ringing pure and hurtling through each and every convention perfectly. The quintet's big-boy Epic inaugural, The Final Countdown deftly combines the Valhalla victory of Europe's heroic debut with the American poodle pomposity that devoured the band.

  • The Importance of Music to Anders Behring Breivik Joe Stroud*
    The Importance of Music to Anders Behring Breivik Joe Stroud* Abstract: This article considers the significance of popular music to the Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik, particularly the people he names in his manifesto: Helene Bøksle, Clint Mansell and Saga. Breivik saw these musicians, operating outwith the mainstream music industry, as conforming to his ideology, therefore playing a crucial role in making him feel part of a community during his period of isolation in preparation for his attack. This music also helped to motivate Breivik and maintain his morale. This article considers why this music in particular appealed to Breivik, and what he saw in it to confirm his ideology. Introduction On 22 July 2011, Anders Behring Breivik became one of the world’s most notorious perpetrators of lone-wolf terrorism, killing eight people with a car-bomb in central Oslo, then moving to the island of Utøya, where he shot dead 69 attendees—mostly teenagers—at the summer camp of the Workers’ Youth League (the youth wing of the Norwegian Labour party). While Breivik conducted these actions alone, (BBC, 2011) he was motivated by an ideology that had been acquired and influenced by a community of like-minded individuals connected through a variety of media. One medium of particular significance to Breivik was music. This article considers the various significances of music for Breivik, particularly in allowing him to visualise his attacks, in making him feel part of a community, and in being sufficiently malleable to be adapted to his ideology. More fundamentally, these functions fed into a broader role of music for Breivik, in motivating him and in maintaining his morale.

  • WHEN DEVILS WALK the EARTH the Mentality and Roots of Terrorism, and How to Respond by Ralph Peters
    This study was created for The Center For Emerging Threats and Opportunities WHEN DEVILS WALK THE EARTH The Mentality and Roots of Terrorism, and How to Respond by Ralph Peters Note: This analysis is divided into three parts. The first is a broad initial discussion of the mentalities of the two basic types of terrorists--the practical and the apocalyptic--to help users differentiate between “traditional,” politically-oriented terrorists with specific goals, and the far more dangerous religious terrorists irreconcilably hostile to the United States and the West. The second section examines the environmental conditions that breed terrorism, focusing primarily upon the troubled Islamic world. The concluding section proposes “do’s and don’ts” in the struggle against terrorism. I. The Monster’s Mind There are two basic types of terrorists: The practical and the apocalyptic. While there are exceptions to each basic pattern, gray areas in between the two categories, and rare terrorists who evolve from one type into the other (usually from the practical to the apocalyptic), these remain the two most useful classifications in attempts to understand and defeat our enemies who employ terror. Our failure to distinguish between the different threats posed by these two very different types of terrorists led to fatal 1 misjudgments, such as the conviction that skyjackers should not be opposed in the air, since any action would only endanger passengers—based upon the assumption that aircraft seized by terrorists were bargaining chips, not weapons. But the actions of the practical terrorist, to whom we have grown accustomed, are calculated to change political circumstances, while, for the apocalyptic terrorist, destruction is an end in itself, despite his extravagant statements about strategic objectives.

  • Purgatory and Prison: Punitive Spaces in Old and Middle
    PURGATORY AND PRISON: PUNITIVE SPACES IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE A Dissertation by KATAYOUN TORABI Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Britt Mize Co-Chair of Committee, Nancy Warren Committee Members, Laura Mandell Justin Lake Head of Department, Maura Ives August 2018 Major Subject: English Copyright 2018 Katayoun Torabi ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the connection between incarceration and purgative penance as it developed in medieval Christian tradition, with a particular focus on the ways in which that connection is represented in Old and Middle English literature. Both earthly and otherworldly prisons, I argue, were closely linked through their purpose of reform and rehabilitation. Prisons were seen as transformative spaces and punitive measures were a means of correcting and reintegrating transgressive members of the community. Medieval communities felt compelled to assist prisoners with alms, clothing, food, and spiritual guidance. In order to facilitate this aid, prisons were centrally located, punitive sentences were short, and prison boundaries were permeable, allowing inmates easy access to the outside world. Likewise, the community felt an obligation to care for and rehabilitate the transgressive dead in Purgatory through intercessory prayer, alms, and masses until the deceased received absolution and were released into Heaven. Because prisons were seen as morally and spiritually transformative spaces, a similar rhetoric emerged around earthly and otherworldly carceral spaces. Purgatory and—to a certain extent—Limbo were imagined as G-d’s divine prison in Old and Middle English literature; and prisons were often described by medieval writers as a kind of earthly Purgatory.

  • Corporeality and the Supernatural on the Gothic Stage, 1786 - 1836
    “With Clotted Locks and Eyes Like Burning Stars”: Corporeality and the Supernatural on the Gothic Stage, 1786 - 1836 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christopher T. Matsos, M.F.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Lesley Ferris, Advisor Dr. Beth Kattelman Dr. Virginia Cope Copyright by Christopher T. Matsos 2010 Abstract For a period of approximately fifty years in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the British stage was dominated by Gothic drama. Like the Gothic novels whose popularity flourished in the same historical moment, Gothic drama was characterized by its attempt to evoke an atmosphere of mystery, suspense, and terror through the employment of any combination of particular appurtenances: foreboding medieval landscapes; ruined Gothic castles riddled with hidden chambers; a tormented, menacing, yet engaging villain; an innocent, "Enlightened" maiden who is the subject of his advances; an ineffectual if not emasculated hero; a secret whose truth has critical ramifications on the present. Perhaps most commonly associated with the term “Gothic” is the implicit or explicit presence of the supernatural. However, Gothic drama in its original form did not necessitate supernatural manifestations. What, therefore, inspired Gothic playwrights to defy the threat of censorship and test the public‟s willingness to suspend its disbelief by persistently conjuring such entities upon London‟s stages? Gothic drama, obsessed with death and the unknown, originated and attained the height of its importance and popularity in Britain in a moment ii marked by tremendous external and internal pressures, an unprecedented string of social developments, and scientific and industrial innovations.

  • Musikk Etter 22. Juli 22
    Redaktører: Jan Sverre Knudsen Marie Strand Skånland Gro Trondalen Musikk etter 22. juli Musikk etter 22. juli dreier seg om sterke opplevelser knyttet til musikk – opplevelser som griper og nærer oss, samler eller Musikk etter 22. juli forstyrrer oss. Det handler om musikk som overlevelse. I noen tilfeller i helt bokstavelig forstand, om flyktende ungdommer fra Utøya som synger sammen for å makte å svømme videre. Det dreier seg om å handle gjennom musikk som en del av det individuelle og kollektive arbeidet med å bearbeide sorgen og komme seg videre i livet; om anerkjennelse, tro på fremtiden, og om eksistensielle dimensjoner i møtet mellom musikk og mennesket. Det handler om hvordan musikk formidler verdier og idealer i samfunnet, men også om musikkens plass innen- for de destruktive ideologiske forestillingene som lå til grunn for angrepene denne mørke fredagen i Norges historie. Musikk etter 22. juli er skrevet av forskere fra en rekke ulike felt: populærmusikkstudier, litteraturvitenskap, religionsviten- skap, musikk og helse (musikkterapi) og medievitenskap.
