Book Description
The four members of Florida-based metal phenomenon Trivium have shaken the world of heavy metal since their inception in 2000 - yet this group of regular kids from Orlando had to work harder than most to achieve recognition. The group formed at a high school talent contest and, after performing a number of low-key gigs at parties and small venues over two years, the quartet honed their metallic skills, playing thrash metal classics in rehearsal while gradually developing their own sound on the road. The hard hours in dank basements paid off when Heafy was awarded 'Best Metal Guitarist Award' at the Orlando Metal Awards. Soon, Trivium recorded their first demo which in turn saw their wares seized upon by the German hardcore/metalcore label Lifeforce. The four-piece dispatched their songs with such mature craft and flashy interplay that there was no chance they would remain on an independent label for long. Roadrunner records were the lucky company to receive a signed contract and they helped push Trivium beyond underground status, making their second album Ascendancy a worldwide bestseller.

Bruce Dickinson - Maiden Voyage: The Biography
Author: Joe Shooman
Publisher: Bonnier Zaffre
ISBN: 1786063034
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Bruce Dickinson is the instantly-recognisable frontman of heavy metal behemoths Iron Maiden. But there is so much more than a set of fine lungs to this hyperactive life-grabber, for whom it seems standing still is going backwards. The man once dubbed 'The Air Raid Siren' has also enjoyed hugely successful parallel careers as a fiction author, world-class fencing competitor, history expert, radio and TV presenter, movie maker, commercial pilot, inspirational speaker and entrepreneur. Since he re-joined Iron Maiden in 1999 they have continued to explore and develop, taking metal into ever more unchartered territories, as they blend a progressive outlook with a fearless approach that pushes at the very boundaries of the genre. In 2015, the voice, and the life, of Iron Maiden's singer were placed in the cruellest jeopardy as he was diagnosed with a golf-ball sized cancerous tumour on his tongue. Undaunted, Dickinson set to his recovery with the energy of one for whom a night's sleep is an irritant amidst the serious – and sometimes silly – matter of wringing every last drop out of life. There could only ever be one winner. Since his return to fitness, Iron Maiden have released an acclaimed sixteenth album, The Book of Souls, for which the singer changed hats between gigs, flying the band around the world as captain of Maiden's special airliner, Ed Force One. This first biography of Bruce Dickinson tells his story through exclusive interviews with those who know him best, including first accounts by ex-members of Iron Maiden including fellow one-time vocalists Paul Di'Anno and Blaze Bayley. From his formative days straddling the upsurge of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, through his solo years and up to his present day legendary status, this is the ultimate rock 'n' roll story.

Trivium 21c
Author: Martin Robinson
Publisher: Crown House Publishing
ISBN: 178135085X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
From Ancient Greece to the present day, Trivium 21c explores whether a contemporary trivium (Grammar, Dialectic, and Rhetoric) can unite progressive and traditionalist institutions, teachers, politicians and parents in the common pursuit of providing a great education for our children in the 21st century. Education policy and practice is a battleground. Traditionalists argue for the teaching of a privileged type of hard knowledge and deride soft skills. Progressives deride learning about great works of the past preferring '21c skills' (21st century skills) such as creativity and critical thinking. Whilst looking for a school for his daughter, the author became frustrated by schools' inability to value knowledge, as well as creativity, foster discipline alongside free-thinking, and value citizenship alongside independent learning. Drawing from his work as a creative teacher, Robinson finds inspiration in the Arts and the need to nurture learners with the ability to deal with the uncertainties of our age. Named one of Book Authority's best education books of all time.
