“Gone To The Wolves” by John Wray (2023)

I really, truly wanted to love this novel. Ilana Masad gave a glowing review for NPR (https://www.npr.org/2023/05/04/1173613977/john-wray-novel-gone-to-the-wolves-heavy-metal-book-review), which only heightened my interest and led me to purchase the e-book through Barnes & Noble.  

As a traumatized and misfit kid of the ‘80s who embraced heavy metal in ’85, then thrash in ’87, then speed in ’88, then crust and grindcore and death metal after my very first concert—the Milwaukee Metal Fest of ’89, then . . . just a couple of years later as the “Grunge Gold Rush” took off . . . all subgenera of what is now a vast spectrum of metal musicianship, I felt this story might resonate deeply within my grey matter of memories. Back then, metalheads were truly outcasts just about everywhere, the geeks and freaks and broken things that slithered into our own cloistered cliques who haunted the back of the cafeteria and found solace in empty parking lots far away from the football and basketball games, wanting to disappear and be left alone with our music and comic books and hollowed-out dreams. Finding kinship in any form was something akin to fate; the dark gods smiling on their chosen bastard children for some blissful moment. Tape-trading was the ONLY way to discover new music that wasn’t on garbage FM rock stations, until Columbia House started having a metal insert in their monthly mailings. There were the magazines, but we never read any of them. Nobody had the money to piss away, or the monomaniacal fascination to toss money at them. I didn’t even know about MTV’s Headbangers Ball until about ’90 and only then because my girlfriend was babysitting at a house who could afford cable. 

I remember that hallowed night in a cavernous building in the dead of winter watching some 30 bands blast us to shreds in Milwaukee, most of whom I had never heard of before then. We were kids amongst a horde of leather-clad giants handing us beers and drags from joints and pushing pills in our hands (“just say no!”). Nuclear Assault nuked the place. I remember being deafened by a wall of speakers as Judas Priest opened up with a long drum solo for their Painkiller tour in Chicago, while Rob Halford languidly rolled out on his Harley as another curtain opened to reveal a second wall of speakers. I remember climbing a plastic construction fence to get to the sound booth in the rafters as Rage Against the Machine whipped the crowd into a frenzied mob on the outskirts of Honolulu. They tore the place apart. I remember seeing Metallica in Bangkok in an open-air arena with what felt like a million others who spoke a different language. I remember seeing Type O Negative, Danzig, and Ronnie James Dio-fronted Black Sabbath play on Halloween 1994, and the hurried drive back for the graveyard shift with some kindred spirits with ears ringing and the afterglow lasting long past dawn. I remember seeing Project 86 at what seemed like a 1950s cocktail lounge in Chevy Chase, Maryland, as they thunderously evoked their Songs to Burn Your Bridges By, and as I prepared to go to Iraq to save hallowed democracy from the evils of Islam (and cash in on their oil fields). I remember seeing Slipknot at a filthy toilet-bowl bar in downtown Des Moines looking like lunatics who just escaped from the asylum and raided a cheap costume store (by this time I was wearing earplugs to concerts big and small). I remember seeing the almighty GWAR, alien overlords that they are, in Minneapolis, drenching the crowd in fountains of fake bile and blood and semen. I remember thousands of us screaming “God hates us all!” over and over at a Slayer show to the silent, impotent, starry and frigid firmament in Sacramento. I remember seeing Obituary on Leap Day 2020, as the world soon succumbed to the worst pandemic in a hundred years, and the millions of obituaries which followed in its wake. I remember, quite recently, Body Count turning their mosh pit into a furious meat grinder with energy I’ve not witnessed ever before, nor probably will ever again. The hate is real, America. It is so tangibly real. So many other venues, tours, and bands with less-permanent memories are held within my mind, for as long as that lasts. Metal music is infused within my apostate, heathen, godless life-blood. It will accompany me beyond, to whatever end awaits us all. Most likely boring, open-mawed Oblivion. 

The chord that rang out was familiar enough—an overdriven minor triad—but what stood [Kip’s] hair on end was how it felt. Distorted guitar had always had a certain temperature to him: it had always, no matter how vicious the music, been a sound he understood in terms of heat. Embedded with that warmth—hidden inside it—lived a cryptic form of life-affirming power. Deicide and Morbid Angel played their riffs to raise the dead, not to inter them. That was the nature of the exchange, the secret truth of the transaction, however bleak the songs might sound to virgin ears. Rage and violence and pain instead of nothingness (pp. 226-227, Nook). 

Wray captures this environment—this “subculture”—incredibly well, even if his chosen trio is nothing like anyone I ever knew, wedged as we were between the steel mills and iron works of East Chicago and Gary, Indiana, and the endless cornfields of everywhere beyond. Florida backwater it was not, but neither did anyone have the depth of knowledge in guitars, amplifiers, band members, and vocabulary like Leslie does at such a similar age. Doesn’t matter. I was the quiet, awkward, rage-filled wallflower . . . and metal music filled the void in my damaged soul. 

Masad has understandable issues with the lone female character, Kira, but at the same time the “beautiful but broken girl from a white-trash home” was a familiar trope from my high-school hellscape. No circus-freak father required. Normal blue-collar fathers were awful enough. My white-collar Vietnam Vet father was simply a haunted monster no bottle of bourbon could quell. Connie and Angie and Kim and Shannon and Crystal fit the bill all-too perfectly with Kira, if tragically. Masad may want to do some research on childhood trauma and its effects on developing brains. I have no idea if any of them are alive today, but I have no recollection of any of them speaking to the depth of personality that Kira does either. We didn’t grow up online though. We had, at best, five or six television stations to gawk at. Some regrets can never be resolved. Some mistakes never forgiven. 

Gone To The Wolves is theatrically broken into three parts for our wayward trio: the Florida Death Metal scene, the dying LA Glam and rising LA Thrash scene, then—oddly—the Norwegian Black Metal scene. It’s the Scooby-Doo third part that collapsed my nostalgic high, but I understand Wray’s supposed Dan-Brown desire to make a “thrilling finale”. For me, it falls flat by stepping way outside plausible reality (but I’m primarily a nonfiction reader so grant me some leeway if this is the norm these days). Too many people need endorphin bumps every two minutes or so thanks to tech addiction. I do not. I would have liked to see our troubled trio mature in the early 90s, like most of us did to one degree or another. Some died early of course, others weren’t true metalheads to begin with. We die-hards are devoted to the bitter end. 

While I can’t definitively identity with any character in this book, Wray opens to door to so many vibrant arteries of our subculture’s primordial existence that we can—at the very least—sympathize with them. We knew people who resembled them. The lost souls, the drug addicts, the lovelorn, the bipolar-depressive violent. I have to assume early heavy metal coming-of-age stories are rare. Nobody truly cared about us, and they still don’t. So maybe we can call this The Perks of Being a Wallflower meets Lords of Chaos? 

Nevertheless, completely enjoyable, to a fault.

he music business is full of hard-luck stories, but no Austin band rose faster and fell harder than metal band Pariah in the 1990s. Like Guns N’ Roses three years earlier, they were signed to Geffen Records by golden boy talent scout Tom Zutaut. But there were no multiplatinum records or stadium tours for the former classmates at Clark High School in San Antonio.

“We were on the label for five years and have only one album to show for it,” said singer Dave Derrick. “It was a frustrating time, to say the least.”

After relocating to Austin in 1990, Pariah regularly sold out 1,000-capacity venues, but on their final show, soon after officially being dropped by Geffen in 1995, they played to less than 300 at their home club, the Back Room.

Two weeks later, the band’s bassist and driving force, Sims Ellison, put a shotgun to his face and pulled the trigger.

But in taking his own life, Ellison, who suffered from anxiety and depression for years, eventually helped save the lives of other musicians. His suicide was the inspiration for the SIMS Foundation, which provides low-cost mental health services to uninsured musicians who, because of irregular working hours, low pay, easy access to alcohol and drugs and often-volatile intraband relationships, have a unique set of psychological needs.

“Anytime SIMS sets up anywhere in the public, we have at least one person come up to us and say they wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for SIMS,” said Tricia Forbes, executive director of the foundation.

Ellison didn’t drink or smoke, but the band was his life. When it crumbled and his mates, including younger brother Kyle Ellison, went their separate ways after nearly 10 years of constant camaraderie, it was apparently too much for 28-year-old Sims Ellison. On top of that, his girlfriend of nearly three years, then-unknown actress Renee Zellweger, had broken up with him six months earlier.

“I miss him every day,” says Pariah singer Dave Derrick, who will play a Pariah tribute set Saturday at the Austin Music Hall as part of the 15th anniversary SIMS Foundation Benefit Bash. “It bothers me that most people only remember Sims as the guy who killed himself, if they know him at all. He was the sweetest guy you could meet, with a goofy sense of humor. He spent every waking hour working on making Pariah as successful as possible.”Pariah drummer Shandon Sahm, who currently plays with the Meat Puppets, recalls Sims Ellison as full of nervous energy. “He used to say, ‘If you ain’t stressed, it ain’t happening,’” said Sahm, the youngest son of Texas music legend Doug Sahm.

“If he was in a place where people knew him as Sims, the bass player for Pariah, he was totally cool,” said Derrick. “But if he was in any other social situation, he couldn’t cope. He’d show up at a backyard barbecue and pace for 10 minutes and leave.” Derrick said he never saw Sims Ellison finish a plate of food. “He would constantly stir his food, but not eat it.”

Derrick wondered if two middle school incidents forged Sims Ellison’s social phobia. “When he was about in eighth grade he bought a Mötley Crüe T-shirt at a concert and was robbed of it at knife-point in the bathroom. Then a few months later, a bully went up to him at the mall in front of his friends and cold-cocked Sims for no reason. Knocked him out just to show off,” Derrick said. “He knew that, as a member of Pariah, he was protected — no one was going to hurt him.”

The three years with Zellweger, when the band was signed to Geffen, were Sims Ellison’s happiest, Sahm said. Zellweger’s best friend at the time, her “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation” co-star Lisa Newmyer, dated Kyle Ellison, younger than Sims by three years, and the four practically lived together at the Railyard Apartments downtown.

In December 1994, Zellweger split with Sims Ellison and moved to LA, where “Jerry Maguire” would make her a star less than two years later.

Derrick said Sims Ellison bought himself a shotgun for Christmas that month.

Meanwhile, Geffen Records had decided to drop Pariah and pay the band $50,000 to dissolve the two-album deal. The band, rounded out by guitarist Jared Tuten, decided to take a hiatus after one last show at the Back Room.

“Sims was really bummed about everything,” said Derrick, “and I told him he really should get a dog. His eyes lit up and he said, ‘That’s a great idea!’” That was the last time Derrick saw Sims Ellison, who got a job at Urban Outfitters on the Drag two weeks before his death.

“Some people were theorizing that he killed himself because Renee left him or because the band was being dropped, but it was deeper than that,” Derrick said. “Being on Geffen was worse than being dropped by Geffen. That wasn’t it. There was something inside him that none of us could see. You play it back in your head, like ‘I should’ve done this or done that,’ but the truth is that we were all in shock when it happened.”

David Garza, who will serve as music director for Saturday’s benefit, is one of thousands of Austin musicians helped by the assistance program inspired by the Sims Ellison tragedy. “I was having a hard time a few years ago with a personal relationship and with my label,” said Garza, who released two critically acclaimed but soft-selling albums on Atlantic in 1998 and 2001. “I was raised Mexican American Catholic. We didn’t go to therapy — that was for weirdos. If you had a problem, you went to confession.” But Garza had musician friends who’d been helped by SIMS, which provides counseling and psychiatric services and refers clients to a network of 60 therapists and treatment centers that charge greatly reduced rates. With an operating budget of $600,000 a year (about 25 percent of which comes from KGSR’s “Broadcasts” CD), SIMS helps an estimated 600 Austin musicians a year.

Obviously, such musician-aimed services weren’t available to Pariah, whose disappointing career could be summed up by the night in early ’94 when the members gathered around the TV to watch their video for “Powerless” debut on MTV’s “Headbangers Ball.” They waited and waited for almost three hours until just before 2 a.m., when their video aired, the last one of the night.

Signed after a South by Southwest showcase in 1990, Pariah had to wait almost three years until the release of “To Mock a Killing Bird” in 1993. In between, Nirvana exploded and grunge made Pariah’s brand of glam metal obsolete.

“Pariah had the worst timing ever,” said the band’s co-manager Wayne Nagel, who founded the SIMS Foundation in June 1995 with his Austin Rehearsal Complex partner Don Harvey and Sims’ father, Houston oil engineer Don Ellison. “If the record had come out the year after they were signed, it would’ve been a whole different story.” Instead the band was forced to wait more than two years while Geffen threw all its clout and resources into the much-delayed Guns N’ Roses “Use Your Illusion” two-album project.

“Sims was saying, ‘What are we going to do? Metal’s not cool anymore,‘” Sahm said of one of Ellison’s obsessions. “We started off as a hard rock band like Guns N’ Roses and somewhere along the line we turned into Smashing Pumpkins. Still, I think we were getting better as a band by expanding our horizons.”

Geffen didn’t see it that way, according to Nagel. “Zutaut was the king of metal,” Nagel said of the A&R man who signed Mötley Crüe and Metallica before Guns N’ Roses. “He wanted the band to keep it metal.”

Treated like kings by Geffen before “To Mock a Killing Bird” came out, the band couldn’t get phone calls returned when the album didn’t take off.

Pariah met Zutaut, who did not answer an e-mail request for comment, backstage at SXSW 1990 after a scorching set at the Back Room. “He said he didn’t have time to sign another band, but that, just by him coming backstage, we were going to get signed,” Sahm said, with a laugh.

Nagel said Pariah received eight offers from labels after that SXSW appearance. It turns out that Zutaut did sign Pariah to Geffen, but he wasn’t kidding about being too busy. “It was all about Guns N’ Roses,” said Derrick. “We weren’t the only band put on hold.”

Sahm said, looking back, the band should’ve signed with Chrysalis, who Photoshopped a group photo of the band so they looked at home inside the label’s headquarters. “They loved our song ‘Shatter Me’ and were ready to put it out to radio right away. But instead we went with the big shot. Chrysalis couldn’t give us a $100,000 advance, but Geffen did.” The label also gave Pariah a $250,000 recording budget that soared to $500,000 by the time the album was finished at Madonna’s Maverick recording studio in LA. (Sims Ellison hit it off with Madonna and appeared in her “Deeper and Deeper” video.)

“We were young and stupid,” Derrick said of signing with Geffen for the upfront money. “But we were all in it together. If there was any motto with Pariah, it was ‘The band comes first.’”

The SIMS Foundation, named after a lovable, yet troubled Austin musician, was formed for what comes next.

Suicidal Tendencies Biografi

Dilihat dari nama mereka, Suicidal Tendencies tidak pernah takut akan sedikit kontroversi. Dibentuk di Venice, California, pada awal 80-a, pemimpin grup dari awal adalah vokalis vokal Mike Muir. Pakaian khusus dalam bad-to-the-bone setan awal - membangun pengikut besar di antara pemain skateboard, memberikan andil besar dalam penciptaan skatepunk - sebelum akhirnya mengubah fokus mereka untuk whip metal. Awalnya, kelompok (yang lineup aslinya termasuk Muir, gitaris Grant Estes, bassis Louiche Mayorga, dan drummer Amery Smith) merasa semakin sulit untuka memesan pertunjukan, karena gossip afiliasi anggotanya dengan geng lokal dan kekerasan yang konsisten pada penampilan mereka. Buzz bawah tanah mengenai Suicidal Tendencies tumbuh terlalu keras untuk diabaikan oleh mark, ketika kuartet menandatangani kontrak dengan name non mainstream Frontier; mengeluarkan Muir dan debut self-titled klasik perusahaan pada tahun 1983. Collection ini dengan cepat menjadi collection in-your-face terlaris hingga saat itu; lagu yang withering terkenal, "Standardized," adalah salah satu video bad-to-the-bone punk pertama yang menerima diputar di MTV, dan akhirnya digunakan dalam film klasik Emilio Estevez clique Repo Man, serta dalam sebuah scene untuk acara TV hit Miami Vice (yang membuat grup ini tampil sebagai appearance).

Pengaruh Band Terhadap Perkembangan Musik

Suicidal Tendencies terbukti berpengaruh untuk kecepatan/whip metal band di masa depan, tetapi meskipun kesuksesan awal mereka, reputasi mereka mendahului mereka, karena tidak ada mark rekaman lain yang mau menggunakannya (selain itu, Los Angeles melarang grup bermain di sekitar waktu ini, abadi sampai awal 90-an). Tidak banyak yang terdengar dari grup selama beberapa tahun sesudahnya (membuat banyak orang percaya bahwa Suicidal telah bubar), tetapi Muir dan kawan-kawan akhirnya menemukan rumah dengan Caroline Records. Pada saat ini, setengah dari lineup asli telah pergi; Muir dan Mayorga adalah satu-satunya peninggalan, sementara gitaris Rocky George dan drummer R.J. Herrera melengkapi kelompok itu. Tahun 1987 menyaksikan perilisan pembebasan mahasiswa tingkat dua Suicidal, Join the Army, yang melahirkan lagu skatepunk populer lainnya, "Had to Skate," karena semakin banyak metalhead mulai terlihat di antara penonton Suicidal. Segera setelah itu, Suicidal akhirnya ditawari kontrak name besar (dengan Epic), karena perubahan susunan pemain lainnya terjadi: Mayorga keluar dari band, sementara pendatang baru Bob Heathcote menggantikannya, dan gitaris kedua, Mike Clark, ditambahkan juga. Collection pertama lineup Suicidal ini, tahun 1988, How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can Even Smile Today, menunjukkan bahwa transformasi mereka dari in-your-face ke logam berat sekarang selesai, seperti halnya kompilasi dua EP sebelumnya, 1989 yang Dikontrol oleh Hatred/Feel Seperti Sial ... This feels familiar.

Rilis pertama Suicidal pada dekade baru, Lights, Camera, Revolution 1990-an, adalah keberhasilan lain; videonya untuk bahan peledak "You Can't Bring Me Down" berulang kali ditayangkan di program MTV's Headbanger's Ball, sementara collection (selain dari comprolled by Hatred comp) akan disertifikasi emas di AS beberapa tahun kemudian. Rilis ini juga mengisyaratkan kedatangan bassis baru Robert Trujillo, yang kegemarannya pada genre musik funk menambahkan elemen baru pada suara grup. Kelompok ini mencoba untuk memperluas audiensnya lebih jauh dengan membuka serangkaian pertunjukkan field untuk expert metalis Queensrÿche selama musim panas 1991. Rilis mereka berikutnya, The Art of Rebellion tahun 1992, terbukti menjadi salah satu collection musik withering eksperimental dalam karir mereka. . Muir dan Trujillo juga bekerja sama sekitar waktu ini untuk proyek sampingan funk-metal, Infectious Grooves (termasuk beberapa peserta lain, seperti drummer Jane Addiction, Stephen Perkins) dan mengeluarkan rilis debut, The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move. Merasa kesal karena debut klasik grup ini sudah tidak dicetak selama beberapa tahun pada saat ini, Muir memutuskan untuk merekam ulang seluruh rekaman dengan jajaran collection Suicidal tahun 90-a dengan judul Still Cyco After All Years.

Akhir  Suicidal Tendencies

Tetapi setelah satu rilis lagi, Suicidal for Life 1994, Suicidal Tendencies memutuskan untuk menutupnya. Sepasang kompilasi diterbitkan pada tahun 1997: set terbaik, Prime Cuts, in addition to Friends and Family. Muir dan Trujillo terus mengeluarkan rilis Infectious Grooves (Sarsippius 'Ark dan Groove Family Cyco), selain Muir mengejar karir solo dengan nama pseudonym Cyco Miko (Lost My Brain Once Again) dan Trujillo tur dan merekam sebagai bagian dari Ozzy Band solo Osbourne (muncul pada rilis Osbourne 2001 Down to Earth). Muir membentuk versi baru Suicidal Tendencies pada akhir 90-a (dengan Clark menjadi satu-satunya wajah yang dikenalnya), menghasilkan rilis studio lebih lanjut seperti Freedumb tahun 1999 dan Free Your Soul and Save My Mind tahun 2000. Muir dan Trujillo bergabung sekali lagi untuk rilis studio Infectious Grooves keempat pada tahun 2000, Mas Borracho, sementara rilis Cyco Miko lainnya muncul, Schizophrenic Born Again Problem Child, bersama dengan tindak lanjut kompilasi sebelumnya, Friends and Family, Vol. 2.

Sibuk dengan proyek sampingan segudang, band ini tidak akan merilis collection studio lain hingga 2013. The tepat bernama 13 direkam selama periode sepuluh tahun, dan akan menjadi satu-satunya collection studio grup dengan gitaris Nico Santora, bassis Steve Bruner, dan drummer Eric Moore. Muir membawa gitaris Jeff Pogan, bassis Ra Díaz, dan drummer Dave Lombardo untuk pemain lama studio ke-12 band, World Gone Mad 2016. Maret 2018 melihat band mengeluarkan EP Get Your Fight On !, dengan rencana untuk merilis tamasya sepanjang musim panas itu.

Kurt Cobain

As the lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain 's musical success began in his twenties and was heightened when he formed the band Nirvana. Hits such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Come as You Are," and "Heart Shaped Box" helped the group achieve international success. Kurt Cobain was born in Aberdeen, Washington. Hyperactive as a youngster, he was given Ritalin to help him concentrate in school and sedatives to help him sleep at night. At the age of seven, his parents got divorced. He became so difficult to live with that his parents sent him to live with relatives. This period in his life is reflected in songs such as "Sliver." With a dislike for school, Cobain spent his time painting and singing. He listened to the Beatles and the Monkees, but changed to bands such as Kiss, Black Sabbath, the Sex Pistols, and the Clash in 1979. On his 14th birthday, Kurt Cobain bought his first guitar and started experimenting with different musical styles. He also was a roadie for a Seattle group called the Melvins. He dropped out of high school a few weeks before graduation to get a job, but his efforts were unsuccessful because he couldn't hold a job for very long. BleachIn 1986 the group Nirvana was formed with Cobain on vocals and guitar, Krist Novaselic on bass guitar, and various drummers. Their first album, Bleach, was released in 1989. They toured the U.S. and had their first international concert in Newcastle, England. Their second single was unsuccessful, so they changed record companies. After signing with Geffen Records in 1991, and adding permanent drummer Dave Grohl, they produced their second album, Nevermind, which received rave reviews with the hits "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Come as You Are," and "Lithium." Their popularity grew after the group made appearances on MTV's Headbanger's Ball and NBC's Saturday Night Live. The success of the band was intimidating to Cobain, who liked the intimate setting of nightclubs; it was the money that guided them to do concerts and shows in the rock arena. It was in the early '90s that Cobain began doing heavy drugs such as morphine and heroin, but in 1992 his personal life brightened as he married Courtney Love in Hawaii, and their union brought a daughter, Frances Bean. With a wife and daughter, Cobain calmed a bit, and the group released Incesticide. In UteroThings took a turn for the worse in 1993 when Cobain overdosed on heroin. After seeking rehabilitation for a time in a center, he left without completing the program. During this time the band played on. In 1993, the band released In Utero, their last studio-recorded album. Nirvana played an MTV Unplugged concert and a concert in Munich in 1994. One week after the concert in Munich, Kurt Cobain was hospitalized in a coma. After waking up and leaving voluntarily, he was reported missing and was found three days later in his house, dead of a gunshot wound. From the Muddy Banks of the WishkahOver the next two decades, Cobain's legend only grew, thanks in part to posthumous Nirvana recordings. The live albums MTV Unplugged in New York and From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah appeared in 1994 and 1996, respectively, and in 2002, an eponymous greatest hits album appeared. Two years later, the rarities and outtakes box With the Lights Out saw release and that was the last major archival release until 2015, when Brett Morgen directed the documentary Montage of Heck. The film was accompanied by the release of a soundtrack album, containing home recordings and demos by Cobain; it was the first-ever album to be credited to Cobain alone.

Tetapi setelah satu rilis lagi, Suicidal for Life 1994, Suicidal Tendencies memutuskan untuk menutupnya. Sepasang kompilasi diterbitkan pada tahun 1997: set terbaik, Prime Cuts, in addition to Friends and Family. Muir dan Trujillo terus mengeluarkan rilis Infectious Grooves (Sarsippius 'Ark dan Groove Family Cyco), selain Muir mengejar karir solo dengan nama pseudonym Cyco Miko (Lost My Brain Once Again) dan Trujillo tur dan merekam sebagai bagian dari Ozzy Band solo Osbourne (muncul pada rilis Osbourne 2001 Down to Earth). Muir membentuk versi baru Suicidal Tendencies pada akhir 90-a (dengan Clark menjadi satu-satunya wajah yang dikenalnya), menghasilkan rilis studio lebih lanjut seperti Freedumb tahun 1999 dan Free Your Soul and Save My Mind tahun 2000. Muir dan Trujillo bergabung sekali lagi untuk rilis studio Infectious Grooves keempat pada tahun 2000, Mas Borracho, sementara rilis Cyco Miko lainnya muncul, Schizophrenic Born Again Problem Child, bersama dengan tindak lanjut kompilasi sebelumnya, Friends and Family, Vol. 2.

Biografi Slayer

Slayer adalah salah satu band whip metal withering khas, berpengaruh, dan ekstrim pada 1980-an. Lirik grafis mereka berhubungan dengan segala sesuatu mulai dari kematian dan perpecahan hingga perang dan kengerian neraka. Kecepatan penuh mereka, solo gitar yang semrawut, dan iringan musik yang kuat melukiskan latar belakang sonic yang efektif untuk pencatatan sejarah musik metal dan sisi gelap yang obsesif; korespondensi ini membantu musik Slayer bisa dibilang bertahan lebih baik daripada sisa 80-a pakaian whip Tiga Besar (Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax). 

Tentu saja, Slayer menimbulkan sedikit kontroversi selama bertahun-tahun, dengan gossip yang beredar tentang Setanisme dan Nazisme yang hanya menambah mistik mereka. Band ini mengeluarkan beberapa collection berkualitas tinggi, termasuk satu klasik yang tidak perlu (Reign in Blood), dan melihat jumlah penentang dan pencela menyusut karena dampaknya pada adegan demise metal yang berkembang secara bertahap dan dengan hormat diakui. Slayer bertahan dengan vitalitas withering tinggi dan kompromi withering sedikit dari band metal pra-Nirvana mana play on words, dan intensitas mereka mengilhami respons yang sama dari penggemar setia mereka.

Slayer Dibentuk Pada 1982

Band ini di bentuk di Huntington Park, California, oleh gitaris Kerry King dan Jeff Hanneman; yang juga direkrut adalah bassis/vokalis Tom Araya dan drummer Dave Lombardo. Mereka mulai memainkan sampul lagu Judas Priest dan Iron Maiden, tetapi dengan cepat menemukan bahwa mereka bisa mendapatkan perhatian (dan penggemar) dengan mengeksploitasi citra Setan yang mengancam. Band ini diundang oleh Brian Slagel dari Metal Blade untuk menyumbang lagu ke Metal Massacre, Vol. 3 kompilasi (seri yang juga melihat debut vinyl Metallica and Voivod); sebuah kontrak dan collection debut, Show No Mercy, menyusul tak lama kemudian. Sementara pendekatan awal Slayer agak kartun, kecepatan sangat tinggi dan kecakapan instrumental mereka masih sangat jelas. Dua EP, Haunting the Chapel dan Live Undead, dirilis pada tahun 1984, tetapi Hell Awaits 1985 memperbaiki obsesi liris mereka menjadi semacam collection konsep tentang kutukan dan penyiksaan dan membuat sensasi langsung dalam lingkaran logam berat, memenangkan Slayer sebagai pengikut fanatik.

Salah satu pendiri Def Jam, Rick Rubin, menyukai band tersebut, menandatanganinya ke labelnya, dan menyumbang produksi pertama yang terdengar jelas di collection Slayer mana play on words untuk Reign in Blood. Karena sifat grafis dari materi, CBS menolak untuk mendistribusikan collection, yang mengumpulkan banyak publisitas untuk band; akhirnya, Geffen Records melangkah. Menggabungkan speed metal merek dagang Slayer dengan beat dan panjang lagu (jika bukan struktur) dari in-your-face, bersama dengan lirik band yang withering mengganggu, Reign in Blood adalah klasik instan, memecah band ke audiens yang lebih luas , dan dipuji oleh beberapa orang sebagai collection speed metal terbesar sepanjang masa (beberapa memberi anggukan pada Master of Puppets Metallica).

Ciri Khas Musik

South of Heaven mengecewakan beberapa pengikut no-nonsense band tersebut, karena Slayer berhasil keluar dari potensi straitjacket reputasi mereka sebagai band tercepat dan withering ekstrim di dunia. Drummer Lombardo mengambil cuti dan sebentar digantikan oleh drummer Whiplash Tony Scaglione, tetapi segera kembali ke flip. Dirilis pada tahun 1990, Seasons in the Abyss diterima dengan baik dalam segala hal, menggabungkan lebih banyak intensitas Slayer klasik ke dalam suara yang lebih komersial - namun tidak kalah kompromisnya. "War Ensemble" dan judul lagu menjadi favorit di MTV's Headbanger's Ball, dan Slayer mengkonsolidasikan posisi mereka di garis depan whip, bersama dengan Metallica. Setelah merilis collection twofold live Decade of Aggress, Lombardo meninggalkan band lagi dan membentuk Grip Inc.

Slayer tetap diam selama beberapa tahun; satu-satunya materi baru yang dirilis setelah 1990 adalah two part harmony dengan Ice-T yang direkam untuk soundtrack Judgment Night dengan mixture lagu-lagu oleh Exploited. Setelah meninggalkan Forbidden, Bostaph masuk sebagai drummer baru untuk Intervensi Ilahi 1994, yang dirilis untuk ulasan yang bersinar; berkat gerakan passing metal baru, yang memanfaatkan Slayer dan terutama Reign in Blood untuk inspirasinya, Slayer dipuji sebagai inovator logam. Collection ini sukses besar, debut di nomor delapan di tangga collection Billboard.

Bostaph meninggalkan band untuk berkonsentrasi pada proyek sampingan, Truth About Seafood, dan digantikan oleh mantan drummer Jon Dette untuk Undisputed Attitude, sebuah collection yang sebagian besar terdiri dari sampul punk dan bad-to-the-bone. Bostaph bergabung kembali dengan Slayer tepat waktu untuk merekam Diabolus in Musica tahun 1998. Band ini bersatu kembali dengan Def Jam untuk God's Hates Us All tahun 2001 dan pada tahun 2002, Lombardo kembali bergabung dengan band. Pada tahun 2004, mereka merilis Soundtrack to the Apocalypse, yang diikuti dengan collection materi all-new, Christ Illusion, pada tahun 2006. Setelah tur dan jadwal celebration tanpa henti di tahun 2007 dan 2008, Slayer muncul dari studio bersama World. Painted Blood pada 2009. Pada 2010, mereka tampil bersama Metallica, Megadeth, dan Anthrax di Big 4: Live from Sofia, Bulgaria. Pada 2 Mei 2013 gitaris Slayer dan salah satu pendiri Jeff Hanneman meninggal karena gagal hati di rumah sakit Los Angeles; dia berusia 49 tahun.

Tetap Melanjutkan Band

Ruler dan Araya menolak membiarkan kematian teman mereka menghalangi mereka melanjutkan Slayer dan mulai menulis collection baru. Lombardo dikeluarkan dari band untuk ketiga kalinya; Bostaph kembali naik, dan Keluaran Gary Holt, yang telah mengisi untuk Hanneman ketika dia sakit parah dengan necrotizing fasciitis pada 2011, bergabung sebagai penggantinya yang permanen. Collection ini akhirnya selesai pada 2015 dan berjudul Repentless. Tiga lagu, "When the Stillness Comes," "Implode," dan potongan judul - yang dijuluki King sebagai "HannemAnthem" sebagai penghormatan - dirilis sebagai single computerized sepanjang musim semi dan musim panas. Repentless muncul pada 11 September melalui Nuclear Blast dan debut di nomor empat di Billboard 200. Band ini melakukan tur selama lebih dari dua tahun di seluruh dunia sebelum kembali ke rumah, di mana mereka bermaksud untuk mulai mengerjakan collection baru. Namun, rencana untuk collection ke-13 ini akhirnya dibatalkan dan, pada tahun 2018, Slayer mengumumkan apa yang akan menjadi tur perpisahan mereka. Sekali lagi melintasi dunia, perjalanan terakhir mereka diperpanjang hingga akhir 2019. Untuk memperingati tonggak sejarah band, band ini merilis film konser khusus, The Repentless Killogy, yang memasangkan film pendek dengan kinerja penuh yang difilmkan pada 2017 di Los Angeles Forum, yang juga merupakan tempat Slayer memainkan pertunjukan terakhir mereka pada 30 November 2019.

Biografi Nirvana

Sebagai vokalis dan gitaris Nirvana, kesuksesan musik Kurt Cobain dimulai pada usia dua puluhan dan meningkat ketika ia membentuk band Nirvana. Lagu-lagu seperti "Scents Like Teen Spirit," "Come as You Seem to be," dan "Heart Shaped Box" membantu grup mencapai kesuksesan internasional.

Cobain lahir di Seatle

Cobain lahir di Aberdeen, Washington. Sebagai anak muda yang hiperaktif, dia diberi Ritalin untuk membantunya berkonsentrasi di sekolah dan obat penenang untuk membantunya tidur di malam hari. Pada usia tujuh tahun, orang tuanya bercerai. Dia menjadi sangat sulit untuk hidup dengan orang tuanya mengirimnya untuk tinggal bersama kerabat. Periode dalam hidupnya ini tercermin dalam lagu-lagu seperti "Bit." Dengan tidak suka sekolah, Cobain menghabiskan waktunya dalam Hobi melukis dan bernyanyi. Dia mendengarkan The Beatles dan the Monkees, tetapi berganti ke band-band seperti Kiss, Black Sabbath, Sex Pistols, dan Clash pada tahun 1979. Pada ulang tahunnya yang ke-14, Cobain membeli gitar pertamanya dan mulai bereksperimen dengan gaya musik yang berbeda. Dia juga seorang roadie untuk kelompok Seattle yang disebut Melvin. Dia putus sekolah beberapa minggu sebelum lulus untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan, tetapi upayanya tidak berhasil karena dia tidak bisa bertahan lama.

Formasi yang Belelum Pasti

Pada tahun 1986 grup Nirvana dibentuk dengan Cobain pada vokal dan gitar, Krist Novaselic pada gitar bass, dan berbagai drummer. Collection pertama mereka, Bleach, dirilis pada tahun 1989. Mereka melakukan tur di A.S. dan mengadakan konser internasional pertama mereka di Newcastle, Inggris. Single kedua mereka tidak berhasil, jadi mereka berganti perusahaan rekaman. Setelah menandatangani kontrak dengan Geffen Records pada tahun 1991, dan menambahkan drummer permanen Dave Grohl, mereka memproduksi collection kedua mereka, Nevermind, yang menerima sambutan hangat dengan hits "Scents Like Teen Spirit," "Come as You Seem to be," dan "Lithium." Popularitas mereka tumbuh setelah kelompok itu tampil di MTV's Headbanger's Ball dan Saturday Night Live NBC. Keberhasilan band ini mengintimidasi Cobain, yang menyukai suasana intim klub malam; uanglah yang membimbing mereka untuk melakukan konser dan pertunjukan di field rock. Pada awal 90-a Cobain mulai melakukan obat-obatan berat seperti morfin dan heroin, tetapi pada tahun 1992 kehidupan pribadinya menjadi cerah ketika ia menikah dengan Courtney Love di Hawaii, dan serikat mereka membawa seorang anak perempuan, Frances Bean. Bersama seorang istri dan anak perempuannya, Cobain sedikit tenang, dan kelompok itu melepaskan Incesticide.

Satu minggu setelah konser di Munich, Kurt Cobain dirawat di rumah sakit dalam keadaan koma. Setelah bangun dan pergi secara sukarela, ia dilaporkan hilang dan ditemukan tiga hari kemudian di rumahnya, meninggal karena luka tembak.

Setelah Kematian Kurt
