This research raises awareness of the importance and challenges of audio preservation and provides insights into archiving practices of record labels and producers. Based\u0000 on interviews with German metal music producers, the article examines the conflicting artistic, economic and legal forces in the recording industry that often result in the loss of master tapes and multi-track recordings, thus preventing significant remastering for new consumer media such\u0000 as high-resolution streaming or remixes valuable to artists and their fans alike. The findings suggest that there is no archiving standard amongst record labels. It is often up to record producers to archive and preserve recorded artefacts, which they do voluntarily and at their own expense,\u0000 either in the hope of future commercial exploitation or to preserve their work. Whilst established record producers who began in the analogue era seem to be reliable archivists, the modern metal music industry, with its shrinking budgets, semi-professional, digitally home-recorded productions\u0000 and self-releasing artists, puts the genre’s more recent audio heritage at risk.","PeriodicalId":36868,"journal":{"name":"Metal Music Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48017094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mechanical and artificial ‘nü-horror metal’: The film music of Resident Evil 机械和人造的“恐怖金属”：生化危机的电影音乐

Gibson","doi":"10.1386/mms_00062_1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1386/mms_00062_1","url":null,"abstract":"Remaining true to its origins, the survival-horror video game film adaption, Resident Evil: The Original Motion Picture released in 2002, retains its core foundational game-like qualities. The film is heavily influenced by the video game franchise and it appears as if the audience\u0000 is treated the same as the player. This is because the viewers are forced to ‘participate’ from fixed camera angles. As expected, the music contained within the moving image also borrows well-established compositional techniques from horror films and survival-horror video games.\u0000 The music, therefore, serves to provide information to the viewers and acts as an auditory trigger. This type of music is defined as ‘process music’; music that appears to imitate a process of actions. An additional function of the music is to create immersion. The most prominent\u0000 soundtrack cues from the film, visually and musically (‘synchronically’ matched), hint at overarching medical, artificial and mechanical themes. This immersive link is achieved through the use of the related music genres of industrial metal and nü-metal. The resultant combination\u0000 of industrial/nü-metal sounds with horror imagery can effectively be termed ‘nü-horror metal’. In this article the genre label of ‘nü’ takes preference over ‘industrial’. The focus of this article will, therefore, demonstrate how the aforementioned\u0000 medical, artificial and mechanical themes are effectively portrayed and heightened by the use of industrial/nü-metal music and techniques. This article will also highlight when the music serves a process function. This will be approached by appealing to traditional film music analytical\u0000 tools engaging specifically with the traditional film music theory of ‘synchrony’ and ‘asynchrony’.","PeriodicalId":36868,"journal":{"name":"Metal Music Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49438190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Valijärvi","doi":"10.1386/mms_00066_1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1386/mms_00066_1","url":null,"abstract":"This article explores the lyrics of the Estonian folk metal band Metsatöll in relation to collective national and cultural trauma focusing on the following themes: the fight against foreign invaders and overlords, land, nature, wolves, kin and family, as well as ancient beliefs.\u0000 Cultural trauma can be defined as the collective experience of horrendous and traumatic events that leave marks on a group’s consciousness. This article suggests that Metsatöll’s lyrics are a means of processing cultural trauma that has been caused by years of occupation and\u0000 oppression, the end of singing nationalism of the 1980s and changing values brought on by the fall of the Soviet Union and the subsequent globalization, capitalism and materialism. This trauma is processed through neo-pagan lyrics and the aesthetics of folk metal. Inspiration for the lyrics\u0000 can be found in maausk (‘earth faith’), mediaeval chronicles, the national narrative of the great battle, Estonian mythology and folk poetry. Christianity and foreign influences are rejected by resorting to authentically Estonian ancient practices. The lyrics are true to\u0000 the genre of folk metal in general, and metal music is seen in this study as a fitting vehicle for processing cultural trauma. The study also contains a brief analysis of white masculinity in crisis, as well as a critical discussion on ethno-centric nationalism in a postcolonial context.","PeriodicalId":36868,"journal":{"name":"Metal Music Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47152086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Efforts to document its history and development have emerged via publications in academic journals and edited books. Although this historical documentation of the emergence of an area of study is valuable,\u0000 it has been geographically laden towards the Global North, and written by English-speaking scholars there. In this article, we aim to inform and balance that history-telling process through an exploration of contributions made from Spanish-speaking scholarly epicentres in the Global South.\u0000 In doing so, we propose and implement a strategy that (1) surpasses the limitations of universalist approaches towards history by including contributions from epicentres of research in both the Global North and the Global South, (2) engages in a self-critical examination of the field of metal\u0000 music studies, and asks scholars to examine why, and understand how, the disconnections between metal scholars in the Global North and the Global South come into existence and (3) recognizes that knowledge is developed through many mechanisms that bypass academic journals, monographs and traditional\u0000 modes of academic writing. In order to understand how these three tenants are manifested in the Spanish-speaking world we present examples from Spain, Puerto Rico, Argentina, México, Guatemala and Perú. We recommend that future efforts to document the histories (in plural) of\u0000 this area of study take into consideration scholarly efforts outside the Global North as a way to decolonize metal studies.","PeriodicalId":36868,"journal":{"name":"Metal Music Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45889013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
