Called “Icarians,” members of this party ascribed to the social philosophy and utopian vision outlined in Cabet’s 1840 novel, Voyage en Icarie , written while in exile. This thesis analyzes the conception of space developed in Cabet’s book, and tracks the group’s actual spatial practice over the next seventeen years. During this period, thousands of Icarians led by Cabet attempted to establish an actual colony in the wilderness of the United States.

  • Heavy Metal and Classical Literature
    Lusty, “Rocking the Canon” LATCH, Vol. 6, 2013, pp. 101-138 ROCKING THE CANON: HEAVY METAL AND CLASSICAL LITERATURE By Heather L. Lusty University of Nevada, Las Vegas While metalheads around the world embrace the engaging storylines of their favorite songs, the influence of canonical literature on heavy metal musicians does not appear to have garnered much interest from the academic world. This essay considers a wide swath of canonical literature from the Bible through the Science Fiction/Fantasy trend of the 1960s and 70s and presents examples of ways in which musicians adapt historical events, myths, religious themes, and epics into their own contemporary art. I have constructed artificial categories under which to place various songs and albums, but many fit into (and may appear in) multiple categories. A few bands who heavily indulge in literary sources, like Rush and Styx, don’t quite make my own “heavy metal” category. Some bands that sit 101 Lusty, “Rocking the Canon” LATCH, Vol. 6, 2013, pp. 101-138 on the edge of rock/metal, like Scorpions and Buckcherry, do. Other examples, like Megadeth’s “Of Mice and Men,” Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and Cradle of Filth’s “Nymphetamine” won’t feature at all, as the thematic inspiration is clear, but the textual connections tenuous.1 The categories constructed here are necessarily wide, but they allow for flexibility with the variety of approaches to literature and form. A segment devoted to the Bible as a source text has many pockets of variation not considered here (country music, Christian rock, Christian metal).

  • “The Flight of Icarus”
    “THE FLIGHT OF ICARUS” Ryan Tiegs English 103 09/09/99 Musicians use a variety of methods to suggest meaning in their songs. In the song, “Flight of Icarus”, by the band Iron Maiden, one can find examples of irony and symbolism. These two ideas combined relate to the theme of the song, or “its controlling idea or its central insight” (Arp, Perrine 102). The unifying concept of the song is to be well informed about the individuals in whom one instills one’s trust. If misled, one could be faced with the point of human reach exceeding its grasp. The “Flight of Icarus” is actually the title of an ancient Greek myth. Icarus was “the son of an Athenian craftsman” (Coolidge 88) and both were “exiled in Crete after Daedalus murdered his apprentice whose skill was greater than his master’s” (Coolidge 88). When the father and son were imprisoned by the king of Crete, the inventor made “wings from feathers and wax” (Coolidge 88) so that he and his son could escape by flying away to the nearest land, Naples. After several hours of successful flight, Icarus was exhilarated by the flight and attracted by the golden light of the sun, and soared upward like an eagle, “despite his father’s warnings” (Coolidge 89). The wax in his wings melted and he perished while his father flew to safety. Daedalus, heartbroken, “flew on to Naples and vowed never to fly again” (Coolidge 89). In the Iron Maiden song, “The Flight of Icarus”, Daedalus is portrayed in a very different light.

  • Classical Myth and History in Heavy Metal: Power, Escapism and Masculinity
    Classical Myth and History in Heavy Metal: Power, Escapism and Masculinity With the possible exception of opera, heavy metal makes greater use of Classical material than any other genre of contemporary music. This paper will suggest some of the reasons for the connection between Classics and heavy metal, and discuss what these reasons can add to our understanding of the modern reception of the ancient world. A brief overview of the history of heavy metal and its subgenres will show the extent to which Greco-Roman myth and history are an established part of the music from its beginnings. Because metal is in some ways a conservative genre, with an established canon of artists (Weinstein), the use of Classical material by these canonical bands sanctions the continued use of such material by subsequent bands. From its very beginnings, metal shows an interest in fantastic material from other times and places: Black Sabbath draws on the realm of fantasy and the occult (e.g. “The Wizard”) and Led Zeppelin draws on contemporary fantasy such as Tolkien (“Battle of Evermore”) and Classics (“Achilles Last Stand” [sic]). These trends are continued and developed by other “traditional” metal bands such as Iron Maiden, who use Classical material (“The Flight of Icarus,” “Alexander the Great”) as well as literary material (“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”). These early bands demonstrate some of the main trends of heavy metal lyrics: in comparison with most popular music, there is less focus on the quotidian, and the ancient world is just one of the realms on which bands draw for inspiration, with the others being books (especially fantasy), movies and history.

  • “Flight of Icarus” 03/2013 Batera Center- Sbo/Sp
    PARTITURA PARA BATERIA DE: Por: Anderson Cleiton Rodrigues “FLIGHT OF ICARUS” 03/2013 BATERA CENTER- SBO/SP. A banda “IRON MAIDEN” Formada em 1975 pelo baixista Steve Harris, o nome "Iron Maiden" foi inspirado em um instrumento de tortura medieval igual ao que aparece no filme “O homem da máscara de ferro”. Esse também era o apelido da ex-primeira ministra britânica Margaret Thatcher, que aparece nas capas dos compactos “Women in Uniform”, e “Sanctuary”. Com mais de três décadas de existência, catorze álbuns de estúdio, seis álbuns ao vivo, catorze vídeos e diversos compactos, o Iron Maiden é uma das mais importantes e bem sucedidas bandas de toda a história do heavy metal, tendo vendido de 90 a 120 milhões de álbuns registrados em todo o mundo. A música “FLIGHT OF ICARUS ” A canção pertence ao álbum “Piece of Mind” de 1983. Escrita por Bruce Dickinson e Adrian Smith, a letra da música é baseada na história de Ícaro da mitologia Grega. Membros: Bruce Dickinson (vocais), Dave Murray (guitarra), Adrian Smith (guitarra, vocal de apoio), Steve Harris (baixo, vocal de apoio), Nicko McBrain (bateria). O baterista “NICKO MCBRAIN ” Michael Henry McBrain nasceu dia 5 de junho de 1954 em Hackney, Londres, Inglaterra, Reini Unido. Nicko toca no Iron Maiden, des de 1982, tendo substituído o então baterista Clive Burr. Antes disso, Nicko foi baterista da banda Trust. O Apelido "Nicko" tem origem em sua infância, mais precisamente no seu urso de pelúcia preferido que se chamava "Nicholas, the bear" ("Nicholas, o urso") - que aparentemente era a sua companhia pessoal para todo o lado.
