Por eso a mí la crítica de rock o la crítica de música me da cierto escalofrío, porque creo que la música o el arte en general se tiene que juzgar después de mucho tiempo y no en el instante de la creación. Cuando sale un disco de un artista, el que lo pone y escucha 5 veces y hace una crítica no tiene el panorama exacto de a qué viene y de qué se trata ese disco. He tardado años en entender un disco; le doy vueltas y le busco la quinta pata al gato hasta que me cierra el concepto o no me cierra.

MODERN HEAVY METAL: MARKETS, PRACTICES AND CULTURES International Academic Conference 2015 METAL AND GOTHIC LITERATURE: EXAMINING THE DARKER SIDE OF LIFE (AND DEATH) Bryan A. Bardine University of Dayton, USA Abstract This article examines the connections between Gothic literature and the lyrics in Death metal music, specifically the lyrics of Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, and Deicide. The study examined the lyrics for each band’s first 3 albums and their most recent three albums, looking for Gothic characteristics. Further, the study aims to see if bands are changing their focus in terms of lyrics over the span of their careers—especially in terms of the Gothic tenets they incorpo- rate into their songs and how they connect to traditional Gothic texts. This study continues the research begun in the article appearing in Heavy Metal Music in Britain.

  • L'homme De Science Le Sait Bien, Lui, Que Seule La
    « L'homme de science le sait bien, lui, que seule la science, a pu, au fil des siècles, lui apporter l'horloge pointeuse et le parcmètre automatique sans lesquels il n'est pas de bonheur terrestre possible. » Pierre Desproges L'art de la propreté éco-responsable Un facétieux scientifique à la renommée époustouflante auprès de son voisinage impotent, a supputé que dans les pays munis de toilette branchée sur un système de tout à l’égout, si tout le monde pissait sous la douche cela permettrait de réduire de manière significatrice la consommation ahurissante d'eau dans le monde. Oui vous avez bien lu et interprété à bon escient la naïveté consternante du gazier et de son idée saugrenue. Puisqu'il ne sera pas grossier d'affirmer que 80% des personnes concernées par cette estimation le font de manière courante pendant qu'il procède en même temps au soin besogneux du lavage corporel, avec les pieds dans la pisse chaude, ainsi qu'à desquamer une peau qui flétrie envers et contre toute la compétence cosmétique contemporaine. Bizarrement la jovialité de mes congénères pour leur légèreté face au défi écologique me pousse souvent à une observation courroucée. Si bon nombre pratique le rudiment de pisser sous la douche en sifflotant cet air d'opérette qu'une publicité sur le riz leur en a fait la révélation musicale, il n'en est pas un dont l'idée pourtant tout aussi prompte à l'effort écologique, l'adjoint de se rincer la bouche avec l'eau des water- closed pour le brossage dentaire.

  • Our-Last-Enemy-Bio-2013.Pdf
    Oliver Fogwell (vocals), Jeff Ritchie (keys/samples), Matt Heywood (bass), Bizz (guitars), Zot Cillia (drums) It would be almost too easy to classify Australia's Our Last Enemy as an "industrial metal band." While that's an accurate description of the band, it's oversimplified, since Our Last Enemy are so much more than the sum of their base parts. Our Last Enemy make music that's akin to a soundtrack or mix tape designed for surviving and navigating an apocalyptic wasteland. There's a machine-like grinding of guitars and shrieking synth lines --many of which sound like they were designed expressly for a horror movie—that populate their songs. Our Last Enemy's music is dark, it's heavy and it will grab you by the scruff of your neck and hurl you around a room. And that's just how most fans of aggressive music like it. The band's humble beginnings can be traced back to 2006. The lineup is currently comprised of Oliver (vocals), Jeff (keys/samples), Matt (bass), Bizz (guitars) and Zot (drums). Bizz was once a member of Genitorturers, a visual metal band that also featured Morbid Angel's David Vincent; he relocated Down Under to join Our Last Enemy. The band takes its name from a Biblical quote: "Until the day when we meet our last enemy, death itself..." But as is the case with all elements of the band, there is a deeper, more complex meaning beyond that which you see on the surface, since the pulling of the death card in tarot symbolizes rebirth.
