PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

Amorphis & Soilwork
AMORPHIS & SOILWORK - kündigen Europa-Co-Headlinetour für Anfang 2019 an; JINJER und NAILED TO OBSCURITY als Supports bestätigt! Die finnischen Melancholic Progressive Metaller AMORPHIS haben am 18. Mai 2018 ihr überaus erfolgreiches neues Album »Queen Of Time« via Nuclear Blast veröffentlicht. Ihre neuen Hymnen wollen sie selbstverständlich auch wieder live auf den Bühnen der Welt darbieten, weshalb sich die Band freut, heute eine Europa-Co-Headlinetour mit den schwedischen Metal- Visionären SOILWORK für Anfang 2019 ankündigen zu dürfen. Diese arbeiten derzeit am Nachfolger ihres Hitalbums »The Ride Majestic« (2015, Nuclear Blast) und werden folglich zum ersten Mal mit ihrem neuen Material im Gepäck unterwegs sein. Als ob diese Kombination noch nicht großartig genug wäre, werden die ukrainischen Modern Metaller JINJER sowie die deutschen Melodic Death/Doom Metaller NAILED TO OBSCURITY, die gerade an ihrem Nuclear Blast-Debüt werkeln, das Tourpaket abrunden. AMORPHIS-Gitarrist Esa Holopainen kommentiert: „Endlich touren wir wieder durch Europa! Im Zuge der »Queen Of Time«-Tour werden wir die AMORPHIS-Liveproduktion auf ein neues Level hieven. Umso mehr freuen wir uns, dass uns die mächtigen SOILWORK, JINJER sowie NAILED TO OBSCURITY auf dieser Tour begleiten werden. Sichert euch schnell Tickets, das gibt ein wahres Retro-Feuerwerk!“ SOILWORK-Sänger Björn "Speed" Strid ergänzt: „Auch wir freuen uns enorm auf die Tour mit AMORPHIS, da es zugleich die erste mit unserem neuen Album sein wird. Seit meiner Jugend sind AMORPHIS meine finnische Lieblingsband, als mich damals »Tales From The Thousand Lakes« tagtäglich begleitet hat. Die einzigartigen Metalstile beider Bands werden zu einem epischen Cocktail, wenn wir gemeinsam durch Europa rollen.

Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal *
Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal * Stephen S. Hudson NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.21.27.1/mto.21.27.1.hudson.php KEYWORDS: Heavy Metal, Formenlehre, Form Perception, Embodied Cognition, Corpus Study, Musical Meaning, Genre ABSTRACT: This article presents a new framework for analyzing compound AABA form in heavy metal music, inspired by normative theories of form in the Formenlehre tradition. A corpus study shows that a particular riff-based version of compound AABA, with a specific style of buildup intro (Aas 2015) and other characteristic features, is normative in mainstream styles of the metal genre. Within this norm, individual artists have their own strategies (Meyer 1989) for manifesting compound AABA form. These strategies afford stylistic distinctions between bands, so that differences in form can be said to signify aesthetic posing or social positioning—a different kind of signification than the programmatic or semantic communication that has been the focus of most existing music theory research in areas like topic theory or musical semiotics. This article concludes with an exploration of how these different formal strategies embody different qualities of physical movement or feelings of motion, arguing that in making stylistic distinctions and identifying with a particular subgenre or style, we imagine that these distinct ways of moving correlate with (sub)genre rhetoric and the physical stances of imagined communities of fans (Anderson 1983, Hill 2016).

Production Perspectives of Heavy Metal Record Producers
This article has been accepted for publication in a revised form by Popular Music and end- users may view and download the material for private research and study only. Production Perspectives of Heavy Metal Record Producers Dr Niall Thomas University of Winchester Dr Andrew King University of Hull Abstract The study of the recorded artefact from a musicological perspective continues to unfold through contemporary research. Whilst an understanding of the scientific elements of recorded sound is well documented the exploration of the artistic nature of this endeavour from a production viewpoint is still developing. This study presents an understanding of the phenomenological aspects of Heavy Metal music from the perspective of seven renowned producers working within this genre. Through a series of interviews and subsequent in-depth analysis particular sonic qualities are identified as key within the production of this work: impact; energy; precision; and extremity. A framework is then put forward for understanding sonic elements of recorded Heavy Metal Music. Keywords: recording; Heavy Metal; production; producers; phenomenology Introduction The twenty-first century provides a rich source of creative opportunity through digital technology for practicing musicians to record music. The affordances of the digital revolution have subsequently changed the opportunities for those involved in the creation of such works. Technology enables those who could be described as amateur music makers the opportunity to record music with relative ease. The democratisation of technology has meant that mobile devices can become pocket sized recording studios (Leyshon, 2009), whilst affordable solutions and emulations of previously prohibitively expensive computing and recording technology are readily available via the Internet.

Production Perspectives of Heavy Metal Record Producers Abstract
Production Perspectives of Heavy Metal Record Producers Dr Niall Thomas University of Winchester – [email protected] Dr Andrew King University of Hull – [email protected] Abstract The study of the recorded artefact from a musicological perspective continues to unfold through contemporary research. Whilst an understanding of the scientific elements of recorded sound is well documented the exploration of the production and the artistic nature of this endeavour is still developing. This article explores phenomenological aspects of producing Heavy Metal music from the perspective of seven renowned producers working within the genre. Through a series of interviews and subsequent in-depth analysis particular sonic qualities are identified as key within the production of this work: impact; energy; precision; and extremity. A conceptual framework is then put forward for understanding the production methodology of recorded Heavy Metal Music, and, how developing technology has influenced the production of the genre. Keywords: recording; Heavy Metal; production; producers; phenomenology Introduction The affordances of digital technology have significantly changed the opportunities for practicing musicians to record music. Technology enables even amateur music makers the opportunity to record music with relative ease. The democratisation of technology has meant that mobile devices can become pocket sized recording studios (Leyshon, 2009), whilst affordable solutions and emulations of prohibitively expensive computing and recording technology are readily available via the Internet. The technology associated with certain aspects of music making is now more widespread and enables a new sense of creative musical freedom; music producers command a limitless array of technological choices. Despite the benefits of the ever-increasing rate of technological development, the recording industry is changing dramatically, and with it, the production perspectives of record producers.
