The Agonist

The Agonist is a Canadian melodic death metal and metalcore band from Montreal, Quebec. Their debut full-length album, Once Only Imagined was released on August 14, 2007. Their second full-length album, Lullabies for the Dormant Mind was released on March 19, 2009. Alissa White-Gluz uses both vocal fry and clean vocals for the band. They have toured with bands such as Arsonists Get All the Girls, Epica, The Faceless, Chelsea Grin, Visions of Atlantis and many more.



Beginning and Once Only Imagined (2004-2008)

The Agonist (formerly known as The Tempest from 2004–2007), was formed by guitarist Danny Marino, bassist Chris Kells, and vocalist Alissa White-Gluz. Legal issues prompted the name change when they signed a contract with record label Century Media Records. They released their first album Once Only Imagined on August 14, 2007. Originally intended as a demo, the release of Once Only Imagined stimulated The Agonist to add metal drummer Simon McKay to the band. Released August 28, 2007, the video for "Business Suits and Combat Boots" was filmed by acclaimed director David Brodsky (Strapping Young Lad, Gwar, God Forbid). The video was voted the number 6 video of the year 2007 on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball.

After releasing their first album (August 2007), The Agonist toured extensively, playing with bands such as God Forbid, Arsis, The Faceless, Sonata Arctica, Overkill, Epica, Visions of Atlantis, and Enslaved.

One of the band's tours was disrupted when its equipment trailer was damaged in a blizzard in the Rocky Mountains.

White-Gluz was named one of "the hottest chicks in metal" in the July 2007 issue of Revolver.

Lullabies for the Dormant Mind (2009-2011)

The band released their second album, called Lullabies for the Dormant Mind, in March 2009.The mini-video for "...And Their Eulogies Sang Me To Sleep" off the album Lullabies for the Dormant Mind, also filmed by director David Brodsky, was released April 18, 2009. Shortly following this, on April 22, 2009, was a video for the song "Birds Elope With The Sun," which consists of live concert footage from the band's tour. Their third video, for the single, Thank You, Pain premiered on the Peta2 Blog on September 3, 2009. The band achieved major popularity with the release of Lullabies for the Dormant Mind, mostly for their single / video "Thank You, Pain".The album debuted at No. 105 on the Billboard Heatseeksers album charts. Vocalist Alissa White-Gluz appeared again as a "hottest chick in metal" in the May 2009 issue of Revolver.
While touring Lullabies for the Dormant Mind, The Agonist made their first trips to Mexico, Venezuela, Japan, China, Colombia, and toured Europe. After finishing a tour with Epica and Scar Symmetry in December 2010, the band confirmed on their Facebook page that they are writing a new album to be released in early 2012.

The Escape and third full length album



The Escape and third full length album (2011-present)

White-Gluz told metalconcerts.net that the band's music has become more mature, not necessarily heavier or more melodic. She elaborated by saying there are more "classic" influences like Pantera and Radiohead. The Agonist will take part in the "Pandemonium over North America" tour with Kamelot, Alestorm and Blackguard. Guitarist Danny Marino will be unable to tour with the band and will be replaced by ex-Catalyst guitarist Justin Deguire. Vocalist White-Gluz confirmed on her facebook account that in support of the tour an EP entitled The Escape will be available on iTunes and through pre-order from CM Distro from September 3. It was mixed by Tue Madsen who is known for his work with The Haunted, Dark Tranquility and Suicide Silence. The EP will have two tracks scheduled to appear on the band's third full length album.

The third studio album is currently slated for an early 2012 release via Century Media records and is being produced by the band's longtime producer Christian Donaldson. [14]Alissa has expressed creative difficulties in writing the record. According to her, Simon was heavily involved in the songwriting process which has influenced her vocals and song structures. She told Lithium Magazine that the record could be good for someone with an open mind musical taste, or bad for someone who only likes Thank You, Pain. The album's final recording processes will take place after the current tour leading into Christmas.


Style

The Agonist are known primarily for Alissa White-Gluz's ability to use both clean vocals and metal growls and Danny Marino's use of two or more intersecting melodies and unorthodox chords often featuring wide intervals and octave displacements. Songs' themes often revolve around moral concerns such as animal rights, societal dilemmas, and the state of the world

Nuclear Assault

After the release of Anthrax's debut album Fistful of Metal, bass player Danny Lilker, a founding member of the group, was fired by the band. He decided to pursue a more aggressive style of music and formed Nuclear Assault with guitarist/vocalist John Connelly,[who had been involved in an early version of Anthrax. They were joined by guitarist Mike Bogush and drummer Scott Duboys (later of Cities, Cycle Sluts From Hell and Warrior Soul). They then recorded the first of two demos, which included the songs Stranded in Hell, The Plague, and Hang the Pope.

The group's first live performance was at the Union Jack in South River, New Jersey in late 1984. Guitarist Mike Bogush was later replaced by Anthony Bramante.Bramante's first live performance with the group was at L'Amour in

Brooklyn, New York in April 1985. Shortly after the performance, Duboys left the band and was replaced by drummer Glenn Evans.

After recording the Game Over album in April 1986 the band signed a multi-album contract with Combat Records followed by a European tour with Agent Steel and Atomkraft. Later, feeling constrained by their contract with Combat, the band signed with I.R.S. Records and recorded Survive in 1988. The album reached number 145 on the US Billboard 200 chart and Nuclear Assault set off on a 180-day world tour in the United States and Europe; first as an opening for Slayer and later headlining with British group Acid Reign as a support act.The next album, 1989's Handle with Care, would see the band at their commercial peak, hitting the US charts at number 126, with more touring, including a trip to Japan and a U.S. tour opening for Testament and Savatage. The band released their first live album, Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, in 1990, but internal troubles were causing problems for the band.

Constant touring and recording was taking its toll on the band, and there was rumor that the band might split.[citation needed] The recording of Out of Order was problematic. Lead songwriter John Connelly was conspicuously absent from the recording process.He only sang on five of the songs and played the guitar on one (Quocustodiat his only full writing credit), leaving Evans and Lilker to do most of the recording alone. After the release of Out of Order bassist Lilker left to start the band Brutal Truth in 1992. The band enlisted Scott Metaxas on bass and toured across the United States and Europe before longstanding guitarist Anthony Bramante left the band. In 1993, the band released one more album, entitled Something Wicked doing one last European tour with guitarist Dave DiPietro before breaking up in 1995.

Nuclear Assault later reunited for one concert in 1997 (put on by Eric Paone of 'Candy Striper Death Orgy' in New Hampshire) before parting ways a second time.[citation needed] Then, two more shows the following year with Eric Paone on Bass Guitar in New England. They reformed once again in 2002 to record a live album entitled Alive Again followed by several European tours, first with Testament and Death Angel, then with Exodus and Agent Steel. A new studio album entitled Third World Genocide followed in 2005, with yet more touring, including a South American tour with Death Angel.

They made a guest appearance at the Maryland Deathfest on May 25, 2008.

Nuclear Assault are still active and have been confirmed to Metal Merchants Festival 2011.

POWER METAL

Lebih dari lima belas tahun adalah sebuah perjalanan cukup panjang bagi sebuah grup rock macam Power Metal yang mampu bertahan dan tetap eksis. Tak bedanya dengan kebanyakan grup band lainnya, dalam perjalanannya kelompok musik ini juga mengalami gelombang pasang-surut. Di tengah popularitas dan kharismanya sebagai band heavy metal, ternyata grup ini sering diguncang oleh persoalan yang terjadi dalam intern tubuh mereka, seperti sering terjadinya pergantian personel.
Bahkan hampir tiga tahun belakangan ini grup band ini gaungnya kurang terdengar lagi. Sampai akhirnya muncul spekulasi bahwa grup ini sudah bubar.

Ternyata spekulasi berita itu tidak benar adanya. Power Metal tidak bubar, dan masih tetap eksis. Cuma sempat vakum saja. Setelah cukup lama vakum, grup rock asal Surabaya ini mencoba kembali eksis di blantika musik rock Indonesia. Justru di tengah kevakuman itu dimanfaatkan mereka mempersiapkan album baru. Dengan dirilisnya album berjudul Topeng-Topeng Murka (2002), sekaligus menjadi jawaban bahwa Power Metal masih eksis, dan tetap solid. Bagaimana perkembangan Power Metal itu sendiri memang tidak lepas dari dinamika yang ikut mewarnai perjalanan karier grup mantan juara Festival Rock se-Indonesia V versi Log Zhelebour, tahun 1989.

Grup band yang awal berdirinya bernama Power, sejak September 1987 berubah nama jadi Power Metal, dengan formasi Pungky Deaz (vokal), Ipunk (gitar), Hendrix Sanada (bas), Raymond Ariasz (kibor), dan Mugix Adam (dram). Sesuai namanya Power Metal, perubahan nama ini sekaligus untuk memproklamirkan diri jadi band rock beraliran heavy metal. Sebelum menjelajahi dunia rekaman, dalam aksi panggungnya grup ini sering membawakan lagu-lagunya Metallica, Anthrax, Helloween, Loudness atau Yngwie J. Malmsteen. Belum genap setahun dibentuk, grup band ini sudah menunjukan prestasi cukup membanggakan, antara lain dengan keherhasilannya menyabet juara pertama Festival Rock Remaja se-Jawa Timur di Lumajang (1987). Disusul tahun berikutnya meningkat jadi juara pertama Festival Rock se-Jawa di Kediri (1988). Prestasi ini dianggap belum cukup, masih ada satu event festival yang jadi targetnya, yaitu Festival Rock se-Indonesia - nya Log Zhelebour. “Itu salah satu jadi obsesi kita,” kenang Raymond, soal keberhasilan Power Metal menjuarai Festival Rock se-Indonesia V (1989) Selain jadi juaranya, Hendrix Sanada juga terpilih sebagai the best bassist. “Sekali ikut langsung jadi juara,” kata Raymond dengan bangga. "Waktu itu kita sama sekali tidak menyangka bisa jadi juaranya," tambah Ipunk. Grup band yang dianggap rival terberatnya saat itu adalah Andromedha (Surabaya), Kaisar (Solo) dan Roxx (Jakarta). Kemenangannya ini sekaligus menjadi awal perjalanan karier Power Metal menembus dunia rekaman.

Sebagai promotor merangkap produser, Log Zhelebour memang belum menjanjikan grup band juara pertama Festival Rock se-Indonesia langsung teken kontrak rekaman album. Baru sebatas direkam di album kompilasi 10 Finalis Festival Rock se-Indonesia V. Sementara juara pertamanya dijanjikan ikut tur 10 kota. Kebetulan waktu itu Log mempersiapkan pagelaran Tur Rakasasa God Bless (1990). Selain Power Metal, tur God Bless ini juga didampingi Elpamas dan Mel Shandy. Di tengah persiapan tur, Power Metal diguncang hengkangnya Pungky, lalu diikuti Hendrix Sanada. Jelas ini membuat sisa personelnya kalang-kabut mencari vokalis dan pemain bas, pengganti Pungky dan Hendrix. “Kita langsung melirik Arul, vokalis Big Boys dari Banjarmasin,” kata Raymond. Akhirnya Arul yang pernah dinobatkan sebagai the best vocalist di Festival Rock se-Indonesia V imenggantikan posisi Pungky.Tinggal pemain basnya, belum dapat. Sementara belum dapat pemain tetap, akhirnya pakai additional musician, diantaranya ada nama Roy Oracle dan Didiet Shaksana. Usai mengikuti tur, akhirnya tawaran rekaman datang dari Log Zhelebour.

Selama persiapan bikin album Arul dkk dikarantina di sebuah vila di daerah Malang – Jawa Timur. “Hampir sebulan kita dikarantina untuk bikin lagu,” kenang vokalis Power Metal. Begitu materi lagu sudah siap, mereka kembali kelimpungan siapa jadi pemain basnya. Sementara mereka harus secepatnya masuk studio. Akhirnya digaet Prass Haddy, pemain bas di band Pelni. Karena terikat dengan pekerjaan, posisinya membantu sebatas rekaman sampai album keluar. Dengan persiapan cukup matang, proses rekaman mereka berjalan mulus.

Dengan formasi Arul Efansyah (vokal), Ipunk (gitar), Prass Haddy (bas), Raymond Ariasz (kibor), dan Mugix Adam (dram), Power Metal berhasil merampungkan album perdananya diberi judul Power One (1991), yang dirilis dibawah bendera Logiss Records. Lewat debut albumnya ini, Power Metal langsung melesat ke putaran orbit grup rock papan atas yang mulai diperhitungkan. Setidaknya popularitas Power Metal sudah sejajar dengan band seniornya alumni Festival Rock se-Indonesia, seperti Elpamas dan Grass Rock. Dan album Power One ini mendapat sambutan menggembirakan dari rockers mania. Album ini sendiri melahirkan sejumlah hits, diantaranya Angkara, Satu Jiwa, Pengakuan dan Bayangan Dirimu. Di samping dua lagu lainnya, yakni Malapetaka dan Cita Yang Tersita. Kesuksesan album ini juga diikuti dengan terpilihnya Power Metal meraih penghargaan sebagai Pendatang Baru Terbaik di ajang BASF Awards 1991. Angka penjualan kaset album Power One sendiri waktu itu laku di atas 300 ribu copies. Sebuah angka penjualan yang cukup fantastik untuk sebuah grup rock beraliran heavy metal. Sementara grup rock yang bisa menembus angka itu baru God Bless, lewat album Semut Hitam (1989). Power Metal kembali menanda-tangani kontrak album kedua.

Di tengah persiapan album kedua, Ipunk mengundurkan diri, dan posisinya digantikan Lucky Setyo W, gitaris Andromedha Rock Band yang juga The best guitaris di Festival Rock se-Indonesia V. Akhirnya mereka berhasil merampungkan album kedua berjudul Power Demons (1993), yang kemudian disusul album lainnya, Serigala (1995), dan Pesta Dansa (1996).Lagi-lagi di tengah persiapan penggarapan album berikutnya, terjadi masalah dalam intern tubuh Power Metal, yang berakhir dengan mundurnya Raymond dan Mugix. Sementara itu Power Metal harus dikejar target menyiapkan album baru lagi. Untuk mengisi kekosongan itu, akhirnya ditariklah Ekko Dinaya (dram) dan James Ireng (kibor). Dengan sekuat tenaga dan segala kemampuan Lucky cs mencoba mempertahankan kharisma Power Metal dengan merilis album Peace,Love & War (1999). Meski dari segi musikalitas materi album ini cukup bagus. Tapi sayangnya album ini lagi-lagi kurang mujur di pasaran.

Tak lama setelah album rilis album ini, Power Metal pelan-pelan menghilang dari hingar-bingarnya panggung musik rock. Tak heran bila di tengah kevakuman itu muncul berita spekulatif bahwa grup ini bubar. Sampai akhirnya muncul inisiatif dari owner Power Metal yaitu dengan memanggil kembali Raymond untuk diajak membenahi lagi Power Metal. Antara lain dengan mengajak Ipunk kembali gabung di Power Metal, menggantikan posisi Lucky Setyo W yang mengundurkan diri. Kesempatan ini kemudian dimanfaatkan untuk melakukan konsolidasi guna menemukan formula musik Power Metal yang disiapkan di album barunya nanti. “Yang pasti, aku dengan personel yang lain punya keinginan sama untuk mengangkat kembali kharisma Power Metal. Itu yang jadi obsesi kita semua,” lanjut Raymond.

Setelah melalui proses yang cukup panjang akhirnya Power Metal merampungkan album ke-7, Topeng-Topeng Murka, yang proses rekamannya sampai mixing-nya dilakukan di Studio Natural– Surabaya. Sedang proses mastering-nya dikerjakan di Studio 301, Sydney – Australia. Proses penggarapan album ini memang butuh waktu cukup lama, hampir 2 tahun. Meski sering mengalami pergantian personel, ternyata tidak mengurangi kesolidan Power Metal yang kini diperkuat Arul Efansyah (vokal), Ipunk (gitar), Endro (bas), Raymond Ariasz (kibor), dan Eko Dinoyo (dram) untuk tetap eksis. "Ini adalah formasi tersolid," kata Ipunk dan Raymond hampir bersamaan, mengomentari formasi baru Power Metal yang dikatakan sudah siap tempur ini. Selain gabungnya lagi orang-orang lama, seperti Raymond dan Ipunk, formasi baru Power Metal juga diperkuat wajah baru, Endro, mantan pencabik bas Red Spider. Disamping Ekko Dinaya, mantan dramer Eclips yang sudah gabung duluan di album Peace, Love & War.

Dengan formasi barunya ini Power Metal siap menggebrak kembali panggung musik rock heavy metal.Awal Agustus lalu, grup rock pernah mendamping Sepultura (1992) dan Helloween (2004) saat manggung di Surabaya, telah merampung rekaman album ke-8, berjudul KebesaranMu, yang tak lama lagi siap edar di pasaran.

DYING FETUS

Dying Fetus merupakan band Death Metal yang terbentuk di tahun 1991 di kota Annaplis, Maryland, Amerika dimana personil mereka saat ini ada John Gallagher di gitar dan vokal, Mike Kimball di gitar, Sean Beasley di bass serta Trey Williams pada drum.

Mereka memiliki karakter musik yang ngeblast, dan cukup kompleks dipadu pada style gitar yang breakdown. Vokal mereka menggunakan style growl death metal dan kadang-kadang juga scream.

Lirik-lirik mereka pun kebanyakan berbicara tentang sosial politik dan kritikan terhadap beberapa kebijakan perang termasuk invasi Amerika ke Irak. Dan selain berbicara tentang kebijakan perang, mereka juga mengkritik orang-orang yang bertopengkan agama sebagai pembenaran, sifat konsumerisme dan juga korporasi.
Di tahun 2001, beberapa personil band ini keluar dan hanya menyisakan John Gallagher. Keempat personil yang keluar dari Dying Fetus kemudian membentuk satu band death metal baru namun memiliki pengaruh musik Grindcore yang cukup kental dengan nama Misery Index. Dari sinilah bermula perkembangan Deathcore.
Pada 6 Maret 2007 lalu, Dying Fetus merilis album terbaru mereka dengan titel "War of Attrition" sebagai jawaban kepada fans mereka dimana sebelumnya Dying Fetus merilis "Stop At Nothing" di tahun 2003.

G&L MFD Bass pickup for 4 string basses. Used on all US and Tribute L2000, L1500 and ASAT Bass models. The patented G&L Magnetic Field Design® pickups use a ceramic bar magnet installed underneath each coil, with soft iron adjustable pole pieces to transfer the magnetic field to the top of the pickup. By contrast, traditional Alnico type pickups, such as used in the Legacy and George Fullerton models, use non-adjustable Alnico pole pieces leaving the only adjustment being pickup height. The Magnetic Field Design has this adjustment, but further offers individual adjustment of each pole piece, letting the player effectively adjust the output of each string on each pickup. Magnetic Field Design yield about twice the output per wind, making the pickup quieter while allowing a greater overall output. The sound of Magnetic Field pickups is slightly warmer with a broader frequency response.

Morbid Angel

Morbid Angel is an American death metal band based in Tampa, Florida. They, along with Death, Possessed, Obituary, Massacre, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, and a handful of others were crucial in the development of the death metal genre and its standards, separating it from thrash metal completely. UK music magazine Terrorizer ranked two Morbid Angel albums in its "Top 40 Greatest Death Metal Albums," with their 1989 debut Altars of Madness appearing at number 1. Decibel Magazine also rated guitarist Trey Azagthoth as the number 1 "Death Metal Guitarist Ever". The band's songs are complex in arrangement, owing to the considerable technical skills of both Azagthoth and drummer Pete Sandoval (who also played in the grindcore/death metal band Terrorizer). According to Nielsen SoundScan, Morbid Angel is the third best-selling death metal band in the United States with sales over 445,000 in the United States alone, with their third album Covenant being the best-selling death metal album of all time in the United States, at over 127,000 units sold.

Morbid Angel was formed in 1983 in Tampa, Florida. The band made their debut in 1987 on New Renaissance Records. They recorded their debut album, Abominations of Desolation, in 1986, but the band was unsatisfied with the final product and it remained unreleased until 1991. Their first proper studio album, Altars of Madness, was released in 1989.

Morbid Angel was one of the original death metal bands signed to Earache Records, and was also influential in the transition of death metal from its thrash metal roots to its current form by adding guttural vocals, up-tempo blast beats, incorporating atonality in guitar soloing, and dark, chunky, mid-paced rhythms. They were also the first death metal band to have a touch of mainstream success, such as being signed to Giant Records in 1992 and having the music video for the song "God of Emptiness" shown on an episode of Beavis and Butt-head.

The band's original lyrical themes focused mostly on Satanism, Occultism and anti-Christian subject matter, but from Blessed Are the Sick onward, the lyrics slowly moved toward the ancient Sumerian gods. Much of this is a nod to the Simon Necronomicon, which was influenced by Sumerian mythology as well as the author H. P. Lovecraft, as well as a fascination with the Roman Empire, though anti-religious elements continue to permeate the lyrics. Their albums are notable for being released in alphabetical order (their first album starts with the letter A, the second with B, etc.). Guitarist Trey Azagthoth has said in an interview that it was a coincidence with the first two albums, but has been done consciously since then.

As stated on their official website, Morbid Angel's appearance on some of the mid-summer 2008 European festivals is announced as a "short break from writing and pre-production of their new 8th Studio album." Morbid Angel is currently under contract with French label Season of Mist and the label will release their new album in 2010. In May 2008, it was announced Thor Anders Myhren of Zyklon would be the band's new touring guitarist.Myhren will also appear on the new album.

During European tours and festivals in 2008 a new song, "Nevermore", has been played from the forthcoming album.

On March 18, 2010, the band announced that Tim Yeung would play drums on the upcoming album, allowing Pete Sandoval to recover from back surgery.
