  • 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.

Thus, he was voted a living example of a polymath by Intelligent Life magazine in Reviews Schrijf een review. This is why this book is dedicated to Bruce as a songwriter, as a poet of lyrics, some of which represent little masterpieces - even without music. Their ambiguity holds some surprises. Prior to joining that band Dickinson enjoyed stardom with Samson, while his post-Maiden solo career has brought much critical success. He ate the meal in the secure knowledge that after his death he would return again! The subjects are extremely interesting and Bruce succeeds in artfully getting to the heart of them. Their ambiguity holds some surprises. Not a light read, but entertaining in its own way nonetheless. Bold, honest, intelligent and very funny, his memoir is an up-close look inside the life, heart, and mind of one of the most unique and interesting men in the world; a true icon of rock. All information's there if people choose to dig for it. Bibliografische Informationen. Carlson Publisher: Lulu. This book tells his story through interviews with those who know him best.

  • Blaze Bayley, Risactonia, Black Atom @ Caesar's
    BLAZE BAYLEY CAESAR’S PALACE, MONDAY 5TH MARCH ‘This is a song about how machines are going to take over the world. Because when that happens, there will be a Second Messiah!’ Like, yeah Blaze, whatever man. Let’s get this straight: I don’t like Iron Maiden. I can’t hear that name without thinking of widdly guitar solos, pompous over-the-top lyrics, grown men in shorts, Dungeons & Dragons, scampi flavour Nik-Naks, sacrificial virgins - you get the picture. So what am I doing at a gig whose main attraction is Blaze Bayley, the man who fronted Maiden through what is considered to have been their worst years? Well, there is the added bonus of Risactonia and Black Atom, two bands that are always good to watch. And I have been informed that Blaze’s solo material sounds nothing like that of his previous employers. Anyway, who can resist a good metal gig? This is Aberdeen after all, a lonely outpost that plays host to such diverse names as David Gray and Coldplay. It’s just too good an opportunity to miss. By the time Blaze come on, a steady crowd has gathered, largely made up of old Maiden fans, who seem to crawl out of the woodwork whenever such events come around, plus a good number of metal kids. Even Fudge decide to grace us with their presence. Black seems to be the colour of choice tonight. The band are dressed in black. The stage is black. And I am wearing, well, white for some reason. The other thing I should mention about the stage is the huge drum-kit that takes up half of it.

  • 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).

Il massiccio Bruce Dickinson si era già dimostrato nettamente il miglior cantante e il frontman più Qenigmatico della new wave dell’heavy metal britannico. Magari non nei primi album, ancora un po’ acerbi, dei Samson, ma certamente con il classico più graffiante della band, Shock Tactics, un disco che, dal punto di vista di chi scrive, resta la più grande vetrina vocale di Dickinson. Inoltre, si trattava di un tipo particolarmente sveglio. Gli Iron Maiden avevano una montagna di problemi legati al loro cantante solista, Paul Di’Anno. Il suo comportamento era preoccupante: era troppo scatenato nel fare baldoria e non sembrava coinvolto fino in fondo da questa cosa dell’heavy metal.

  • 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.
