Midnight Eternal MIDNIGHT ETERNAL Midnight Eternal is a female fronted symphonic metal band based out of New York City/NJ. It was created in March 2014 when two members of Operatika (Richard Fischer and Boris Zaks) invited Daniel Prestup (Rivera Bomma, Spider Rockets) and Mike LePond (Symphony X) to join them to record a two song single. During the recording the band acquired the talents of vocalist Raine Hilai based on her previous work in theater and her solo endeavor. The planned two song single quickly evolved into the formation of a full-time band when it became apparent the group had something special on their hands. Shortly thereafter, Greg Manning (of Spider Rockets, Zamora) joined the band as permanent member taking over bass duties, with Mike LePond taking a featured role. In April of 2014, the band made their live debut in support of Adrenaline Mob (a heavy metal supergroup formed in early 2011 by singer Russell Allen of Symphony X, guitarist Mike Orlando and drummer Mike Portnoy of ex-Dream Theater). In June of the same year, Midnight Eternal was one of the bands who performed at the Women of Metal Fest I in Pittsburgh, PA. The band continued their upward trajectory by being featured on the 2014 ProgPower USA compilation and numerous radio stations and online publications; as well as booking several more high-profile gigs, sharing the stage with such influential and established acts as Sonata Arctica, DORO, Delain, Xandria, The Agonist and Quiet Riot. The current line-up of Midnight Eternal includes Raine Hilai on lead vocals, Richard Fischer on guitars and vocals, Daniel Prestup on drums, Greg Manning on bass and vocals, and Boris Zaks on keyboards. The band is currently busy recording their self-titled, full-length debut album, which will be released in 2016. Line-Up: Raine Hilal - vocals Richard Fischer - guitars Greg Manning - bass Dan Prestup - drums Boris Zaks – keyboards Website: http://www.midnighteternal.com .

    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).

    {Read} {PDF EPUB} ~download Come Undone by Mila Hale "Undone" lyrics. I'm sorry, I let me fall for you I can erase you and forget you but I can't undo you You're the hand I can't hold, the words I'm not told when I'm lonely And I don't want you back, I just want to have what you took from me. Stars fade away they just crash into space Disappear from the night like you and I. Tell me where love goes when it's gone Tell me where hearts go when they go wrong Suddenly someone is no one I've come Undone, undone, undone. I'll come around again I know it's not the end But right now I've got nowhere to begin To begin. Tell me where love goes when it's gone Tell me where hearts go when they go wrong Suddenly someone is no one I've come Undone, undone, undone. Nothing but emptiness inside Love leaves a black hole where it dies How can I ever love again, I've come Undone, undone, undone Undone, undone, undone Undone, undone.

During the 1960s, British hard rock bands and the American guitarist Jimi Hendrix developed a more distorted guitar sound and heavier drums and bass that led to a separation of heavy metal from other blues-based rock. Albums by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in 1970 codified the new genre, which was marked by distorted guitar ‘power chords’, heavy riffs, wailing vocals and virtuosic solos by guitarists and drummers.
