“When Incantation was on tour in Brazil in 2004 he asked me if I would do some vocals on a track from their upcoming album. Being good friends with him I gave it a shot. The music was kick ass and it was my first time officially recording my vocals so it was cool to hear how they sounded on the recording. The finished CD kicks ass. They have their own sound and I think the death metal masses will like it. ” The Sao Paolo-based group was formed in the spring of 1996 with the intention of creating an aggressive and chaotic band to shred the barriers of death metal and hardcore. In the decade since NervoChaos has gained cult status in the extreme music scene thanks to their hard work and their demo tapes have become collector’s items in the underground scene… The music was kick ass and it was my first time officially recording my vocals so it was cool to hear how they sounded on the recording.

Amy Lee and company rock hard scare not
Toronto Star – Jan 10, 2007
Beloved by angsty junior-high girls uncertain young would-be Goths yet to discover Lisa Gerrard and – if we’re to believe the "are they or aren’t they?" scuttlebutt – Christian-rock fans with a bit of a metallic mean streak the Arkansas quintet proved itself a peculiar pioneer of "sit-down headbanging" at the Air Canada Centre on Monday night. Its penchant for ponderous low-end riffs and mildly Reznor-esque industrial clatter notwithstanding Evanescence has less in common with Slayer than it does with Sarah McLachlan or Tori Amos. That’s not a slight against comely front woman and onetime teenage death-metal aficionado Amy Lee who has the stentorian pipes to hold her own against the aggressive nu-metal thudding of her bandmates. But it was clear when they wheeled out her baby grand piano for the alone-at-the-microphone ballad "Good Enough" and the Air Canada Centre bowl filled with elevated lighters that Lee’s millions-strong constituency is as much a product of the sullen-female-diarist market as it draws from modern-rock fans looking for something a little girlier than Linkin Park. Were only some of that classically tinged drama present in the heavier numbers Evanescence might be onto something. As it stands though Lee and her frilly tutu are the only things that set the band apart from the dozens of other leaden pop-metal acts selling anodyne disenchantment to the suburbs. True the band went down two founding members – guitarist Ben Moody and bassist Will Boyd – between 2003′s smash-hit debut Fallen and last fall’s The pen Door but the new lineup has already had one warm-up tour to progress beyond the studious studio recreations on display in Toronto… As it stands though Lee and her frilly tutu are the only things that set the band apart from the dozens of other leaden pop-metal acts selling anodyne disenchantment to the suburbs.

It was in fact the distinct lack of unpredictability of even pretended rock ‘n’ roll danger that left Evanescence wanting. And the affectionate crowd responded with due reserve mostly expressing its appreciation for big guns like "Going Under" and "Bring Me to Life" with seated cheers rather than the jam-the-aisles mayhem one craves at a metal show. Still when Lee does a solo piano record and starts playing theatre shows her fans could conceivably tear the hell out of Massey Hall.
Sexy Skateboarding Ads Attack Discrimination
EDGE Boston – Jan 10, 2007
This is very similar to the gay culture which has also found a niche with marketing and publications geared with a gay edge. Skateboarding has also spawned its own music genre with a similarly wild image. Groups with names like Septic Death and Gang Green record their "speed metal" music on small labels devoted to "skate rock. " ne skate rock disc jockey Skatemaster Tate describes the music vividly: "It’s punk rock and skating rolled up in a ball of confusion and screaming down the alley in a gutter. " Since skateboarding is often done by groups of teenagers on city streets parking garages empty swimming pools and the like skaters are often subject to hostility from local citizenry and law enforcement officials. Cities have often banned skateboarding or developing special parks devoted to the sport. While bans seem somewhat discriminatory they are widely used to control the sport.

The little known art of the family holiday letter
michigandaily.com – Jan 10, 2007
ur little Jane is becoming interested in boys. She’s been on a few dates with someone who’s very interested in music and film! It’s hard to believe she’s growing up so fast!!!A few years ago my family got a letter that didn’t follow the rules of disclosure. Every sordid detail of the parents’ divorce and its devastating psychological effects on the children was articulately recounted for posterity. It was a stunning read… Like good art it broke the rules and still worked. A little more Faulkner than Hemingway to be sure. It is worth noting though that Faulkner died a natural death of a heart attack in 1962 at the age of 64. A year earlier Hemingway put a double-barreled shotgun to his head and pulled the trigger. – Karl Stampfl print this pageEmail this page.
