The progressive metal scene has been shaken up by some dudes from North Carolina calling themselves Nospūn. Their bass player and audio engineer, Cole Millward, joins me on this episode to talk all about the production of their debut album Opus. Opus is a concept album following the story of a young man who is obsessed with completing his opus, and will sacrifice just about anything to see it through. Cole tells me all about the recording and engineering on the album, from guitar cab sims and drum samples, to the surprisingly complicated layers of the vibraslap sound in the middle of Earwyrm. We do a brief overview of the story for the album, and we discuss what's next for the band!

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Pretty Maids es una banda de heavy metal proveniente de Horsens, Dinamarca. Formada en 1981 por Ronnie Atkins y Ken Hammer.Eran inicialmente una banda de covers llamado primer bonita Panick, pero pronto comenzó a escribir su propio material y una demo auto-financiado dieron lugar a un acuerdo con los Inglés récord etiqueta Registros de bala . En 1983, la banda lanzó su debut homónimo EP bajo el nombre Pretty Maids que sigue siendo el mismo hoy, y un mayor reconocimiento fue impulsado por una gran reacción a su gira británica del mismo año. Inevitablemente, la banda creció más que su etiqueta, y en 1984 firmó con CBS Records , que vuelve a mezclar y re-lanzó su EP homónimo con una portada diferente. En 1984, la banda lanzó su primer álbum de estudio, Rojo, caliente y pesado, que fue un éxito. Más reconocimiento fue seguido con su segundo álbum de estudio, Future World, lanzado en 1987. Fue grabado en la ciudad de Nueva York con el reconocido productor Eddie Kramer . El álbum es considerado para definir el sonido definitivo de la banda, con los rockeros típicamente agresivas junto con los momentos más comerciales, melódicos.El seguimiento de 1990, hasta saltar el arma, fue producido por el bajista de Deep Purple , Roger Glover , que ofrece más de los mismos riffs pegadizos. El sello discográfico había puesto en todos los esfuerzos para romper las listas de todo el mundo con este disco, pero nunca despegó, excepto en Japón. Si era la falta de accesos, la comercialización o eran simplemente otra víctima de la música grunge es desconocida, pero el registro no está a la altura de las expectativas. La banda más o menos se separó después de la falta de éxito con este disco, dejando sólo los miembros fundadores Ron Atkins y Ken Hammer. Ellos no dejar de fumar, pero sin embargo, por lo que reclutado baterista Michael rápida y bajista Kenn Jackson, y pasó a grabar Sin-Decenio en 1992 con el famoso Metallica productor Flemming Rasmussen en los botones. El álbum produjo el golpe solo no deja por favor Me - un John Sykes / Phil Lynott cubierta que se abrió a la banda hasta una audiencia aún más amplia de dongers. La banda hizo muy bien en Japón en la primera mitad de los años 90 y fundó gran base de fans por allí. El público asiático tiene un deseo especial para Pretty Maids ' baladas y más suave repertorio. En 1995, sin embargo, la banda realmente sorprendió a los fans y críticos por la liberación del grito de asalto. Este fue un enfoque conjunto más pesado y la guitarra de plomo que ganó numerosos aplausos y vio a la banda lanzará su primer álbum en vivo, Screamin 'en vivo. El seguimiento Asustados, lanzado en 1997, fue considerado por muchos como un clásico instantáneo, el mantenimiento de la energía y la pesadez del grito, mientras que todavía la captura de la melodía por excelencia que es Pretty Maids. 1999 de nada vale la pena hacer vale la pena La exageración, mientras que sin duda tiene un título de álbum exageradas, también se produce una de las canciones del año con el infierno en tacones altos, un monstruo absoluto de rock comercial, la conducción dura.En 2000 los rockeros pesados daneses lanzaron el álbum Carpe Diem. Un toque más melódico que sus ofertas anteriores - un hecho que no ha bajado demasiado bien con ciertas facciones de su base de fans, pero esto sigue siendo un álbum clásico que tiene todas las marcas registradas Pretty Maids en abundancia. En 2002 Pretty Maids lanzaron el álbum Planet pánico que era un viaje de vuelta a los lados más pesados de su catálogo. En 2003 su compañía de gestión de Roca en quebró debido a algunos negocios se mueven muy poco prudentes en septiembre de 2002. Esto dejó Pretty Maids en una muy mala situación financiera y también les dejó con una gran cantidad de problemas legales, así como gran cantidad de desorden de negocio y los derechos de autor. El guitarrista principal Ken Hammer fue golpeado por un ataque al corazón el 6 de diciembre de 2003. Desde entonces se ha recuperado completamente y ha estado en el escenario en numerosas ocasiones desde el incidente. A partir de julio de 2005, el baterista desde 1991, Michael rápida, decidió irse antes de la grabación del despertador al mundo real - un álbum que inicialmente estaba destinado a ser puesto en libertad en 2005, pero las grabaciones iniciales se aplaza hasta el verano de 2006. en abril de 2006, el nuevo batería Allan Tschicaja ( Royal Hunt , Kingdom Come ) fue anunciado como el reemplazo de Michael rápida. En 2006, Morten Sandager ( ex mercenario ) se unió a Pretty Maids, tocando los teclados.En mayo de 2010, Pretty Maids en libertad Pandemonium, que fue nombrado uno de sus mejores discos. Poco después del lanzamiento, el bajista Kenn Jackson fue sustituido por Hal Patino ( King Diamond ). Para celebrar su 30 aniversario, Pretty Maids jugaron un concierto en el estadio Tivoli, Copenhague, que contó René Sombras [Mike Tramp] en el bajo. René Sombras ha reemplazado Hal Patino. El 15 de septiembre de 2012, Pretty Maids jugados en los EE.UU. por primera vez en el festival de ProgPower progresiva. Pretty Maids lanzaron su decimotercer álbum de estudio Patria el 22 de marzo en Europa y el 26 de marzo en América del Norte a través de Frontiers Records. Ronnie Atkins ha llamado de la banda "mejor disco de canción de la canción". [2] En diciembre de 2015, Pretty Maids anunció que su álbum de estudio XV se fija para ser lanzado en el año 2016. [3] En febrero de 2016, Pretty Maids anunciaron que tecladista Morten Sandager había dejado la banda.Pretty Maids tienen en varias ocasiones mencionados Thin Lizzy , Led Zeppelin , Deep Purple, beso , Icono , Slade , y la reina como algunas de sus influencias. A través de los años, han grabado covers de muchas de estas influencias, incluyendo su hit más famoso hasta la fecha: En 1992, una versión de John Sykes ' balada Please Do not Leave Me. En 1998, el sueco de power metal banda Hammerfall lanzó su legado de los Reyes álbum, que cuenta con una cubierta de la canción Pretty Maids ' "back to back" de su álbum de debut rojo, caliente y pesado.

It's only a few days from the annual installment of ProgPower USA, and although your humble host won't be in attendance this year, he's still in the spirit by speaking with someone who will be shifting from attendee to performer this time. Vikram Shankar's dance card is quite full at the moment, because not only will he be on the ProgPower stage with stalwarts Redemption as their new keyboardist, he and his band Lux Terminus have just released their debut album The Courage to Be. In his chat with Mark, he runs through how Tom Englund's enthusiasm for his piano cover song videos got him the Redemption gig, his many upcoming projects, and why he wanted the only song with vocals on the new album to be voiced by his favorite singer, Anneke van Giersbergen. Then we go back to the archives with an interview with ProgPower promoter Glenn Harveston from 2015, in which he goes into detail (often forcefully!) about the challenges surrounding visas and how much he appreciates his staff and fans of the festival for supporting his efforts through thick and thin. You'll find Lux Terminus online at https://luxterminus.bandcamp.com/ and ProgPower USA at http://progpowerusa.com/ Featured songs/excerpts: Lux Terminus: "Miles Away," "Fly," "The Courage to Be," "The Journey," "Effusion" Redemption: "The Echo Chamber" "Like" Progtopia on Facebook (www.facebook.com/Progtopia and www.facebook.com/groups/1380357308874546/) and follow Progtopia on Twitter (@Progtopia) to send a message about the show and to receive news about current and upcoming interviews.

Still waiting for a new episode? Yeah, sorry about that. Schedules around here at the METALHEADS Podcast have been complicated lately.

Andromeda История Andromeda началась с того, что в 1999 году гитарист Йохан Рейнгольдс притащил демку "Welcome To Forever" на лейбл War Music. Фирма отнеслась к его творению с большой заинтересованностью, и той же осенью Йохан в компании с Томасом Лейоном (ударные), Мартином Хедином (клавишные) и Гертом Дауном (бас) приступил к наработке материала для полноценного альбома. В марте 2000-го команда вместе с продюсером Даниэлем Бергстрандом собралась в студии Dug-Out, а поскольку на тот момент постоянного вокалиста в Andromeda не было, то на сессии пригласили Лоренса Макрори из "Darkane". Всего спустя месяц альбом прошел стадию микширования, однако в силу некоторых причин (отчасти связанных с передислокацией на Century Media) выход диска затянулся до февраля 2001 года. "Extension Of The Wish" привел в восторг поклонников Dream Theater - это была солидная прог-металлическая программа с техничной работой ударника, повышенным содержанием клавиш, и гитарными поливами в духе Мальмстина. Промо-турне ограничилось территорией Швеции, но осенью Andromeda выступили на голландском фестивале Progpower. Кстати, у микрофона на постоянной основе теперь находился Дэвид Фремберг, и из-за этого было решено перезаписать дебютник с его вокалом. Пробный вариант переделки выпустила французская фирма NTS, и потому первым делом группа совершила вояж именно в эту страну, где ей пришлось выступать вместе с Evergrey. По окончании тур-де-франс закипела работа над вторым альбомом, причем в качестве продюсера выступил сам Мартин. Последний факт, видимо, стал одной из причин того, что клавиш стало поменьше, но вместе с тем в музыке Andromeda появились и другие изменения. Повышенное внимание уделялось вокалу, а композиции стали сложнее и атмосфернее. Герт уже не принимал участие в сессиях "II=I", и его партии взял на себя Рейнгольдс. Новый бас-гитарист нашелся несколько позже, и на сопутствующих гастролях эту должность примерил на себя Фабиан Густавссон. В 2004-м с помощью Century Media состоялась мировая премьера "Final Extension", а шведские музыканты тем временем ваяли третью полнометражку (любопытно, что Лейон к тому времени уже параллельно трудился в A.C.T.). На "Chimera", продюсированием которого опять занимался Хедин, группа сбросила темп, а также упростила структуру песен, что приблизило ее к хард-року. Впрочем, фанаты Andromeda лояльно отнеслись ко всем новшествам, тем более что коллектив продолжал придерживаться прогрессивных корней. "Химера" прошла успешную концертную обкатку в Швеции и Турции, а в 2007-м команда решила запечатлеть свою живую деятельность на DVD "Playing Off The Board". Если "Chimera" вышла на Massacre Records, то следующий лонгплей был реализован с помощью Nightmare Records. "The Immunity Zone" характеризовался повышенной тяжестью риффов и мрачной атмосферой, но при этом звучал энергично и интеллигентно. Альбом вновь вернул шведов к влиянию Dream Theater, что в полной мере проявилось на завершающем программу эпике "Veil Of Illumination". А последователь четвёртого полноформатника вышел и вовсе на Inner Wound Recordings. Релиз "Manifest Tyranny" состоялся 25 ноября 2011 года. Состав на сегодняшний день : Johan Reinholdz - guitar (also in Nonexist, Opus Atlantica, Skyfire) David Fremberg - vocals (also in Bloom) Thomas Lejon - drums (also in A.C.T, ex-Embraced, ex-Ominous) Martin Hedin - keyboards Linus "Mr. Gul" Abrahamson - bass А "на территории" Владислава ГлебОвича - итальянская группа DELIRIUM со своим первым альбомом "DOLCE ACQUA" , который вышел 1971-м году..........
