Heavy Metal Generations
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 1848881479
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2012. Heavy Metal Generations is the fourth volume in the series of papers drawn from the 2012 Music, Metal and Politics international conference, which attracted scholars from around the globe, working within a diverse range of academic disciplines, to converge in Prague, Czech Republic, for three days of panel presentations, debate and conjecture about the past, present and future of metal music studies. The flavour of diversity, synchronicity and inter-disciplinarity that characterised the event can be gauged from the selection of chapters presented in this volume. We hope this collection contributes to the rising tide of academic work that serves to broaden and deepen heavy metal music studies’ intellectual and aesthetic grounds, critical agenda and political value by undermining old certainties and suggesting new horizons in the context of current social conditions, politics and society.

Melancology
Author: Scott Wilson
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 1780991908
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Melancology addresses the notorious musical genre black metal as a negative form of environmental writing that ‘blackens’ the cosmos. This book conjures a new word and concept that conjoins ‘black’ and ‘ecology’: melancology, a word in which can be heard the melancholy affect appropriate to the conjunction. Black metal resounds from the abyss and it is precisely only in relation to its sonic forces that the question of intervention in the environment arises in the articulation of melancology with ethics. That is, in deciding ‘which way out’ we should take, in deciding with what surpluses to dwell, with what waste, what detritus or decay in a process of unbinding with sonic forces that traverse an earth choking in wealth and death. The book thus provides a provocative and challenging contribution both to popular and intellectual debates on ecology.

Helvete
Author: Helvete Journal
Publisher: punctum books
ISBN: 0615894291
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
Black Metal Theory is noise. Lacking one clear manifesto or position, it fails to become an elite circle. It is amplified and transmitted electronically: through instruments, lo-fi recordings, internets, and print-on-demand publishers...yet rather than a clear direction of progress we glean only its subversive raw dissonance, disruptions, animalistic screams, resonating disturbances, high-pitched feedback, primitive growls, and its atmospheric statics, hisses, and drones. Black Metal Theory refuses to be hi-fi. It quenches its sonic thirsts from primordial-ditch stews that resemble the dark sludge of recently melted snowfall - pristine white flakes transmuted into a tumultuously sexy and delicious mixture of trash and dirt and ash and poison that swirls and splashes in ditches before seeping into the underground. Our ears drink this disharmonious black bile and our bodies suspend in its intoxicating formless complexities. The third issue of Helvete, "Bleeding Black Noise," features artwork and essays that focus on the sonic aspects of Black Metal, specifically its interactions with Noise - the interruptions, creations, and destructions of signals as black noise. "Bleeding Black Noise" is a revision of Steven Parrino's statement, "My relation between Rock and visual art: I will bleed for you." In this issue, Rock is replaced with Noise, and Bleeding is celebrated as a release of the Black Noise - raw energy and formless potential. The essays and art portfolios included here experiment with sonic and conceptual feedback, as well as the way that black noise works through feedback as a process, resonating as background hums or drones, and cascading in foregrounded screams. TABLE OF CONTENTS // "Untitled," by Alessandro Keegan - "Black Noise: The Throb of the Anthropocene," by Susanna Pratt - "Dead Body of a Performance," by Micha l Sellam - "Vocal Distortion," by Simon Pr ll - "1558-2016," by Gast Bouschet and Nadine Hilbert - "Distraction," by Bagus Jalang - "Leaving the Self Behind," by Nathan Snaza - "Excerpts from z/w/a/r/t24 and Z/W/A/R/T Magazine 5," by Max Kuiper - "False Atonality, True Non-tonality," by Bert Stabler - "Untitled," by Faith Coloccia - "Nonevent: Grotesque Indexicality, Black Sites, and the Cryptology of the Sonorous Irreflective in T.O.M.B.," by Kyle McGee

Escape Philosophy
Author: Roy Christopher
Publisher: punctum books
ISBN: 168571062X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
The physical body has often been seen as a prison, as something to be escaped by any means necessary: technology, mechanization, drugs and sensory deprivation, alien abduction, Rapture, or even death and extinction. Taking in horror movies from David Cronenberg and UFO encounters, metal bands such as Godflesh, ketamine experiments, AI, and cybernetics, Escape Philosophy is an exploration of the ways that human beings have sought to make this escape, to transcend the limits of the human body, to find a way out. As the physical world continues to crumble at an ever-accelerating rate, and we are faced with a particularly 21st-century kind of dread and dehumanization in the face of climate collapse and a global pandemic, Escape Philosophy asks what this escape from our bodies might look like, and if it is even possible.
