Paranoid In Relation To Albin Zak

Without the human intention, perception, and interpretation of sound, then the existence of music would be imaginary. Music includes talking words in a way that the person creates a sound that is made with the intention of being music (Deutsch, Diana 10-13, Justus & Timothy., 33-40). Besides, people can perceive silence and sound and put them together so as to call the outcome music. In Bakan’s fourth proposition, he identifies the approach as the Human Intention and Perception (HIP) approach (Resnicow, Joel E., 10-22). In other words, the proposition tries to suggest that music is inseparable from the makers; or more specifically the people who perceive and experience it. Bakan gives numerous examples to show that music is a product of human intention and perception. This paper conducts research and gives appropriate examples to show that music is only identified as music if the person is making it has the intention for their words to be music.

Just 6 months after the release of their debut album, Black Sabbath's Paranoid was the first single released from that album. According to Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath's bassists) in a March 2004 article in Guitar World magazine, he said that their first album Black Sabbath and a good portion of the "Paranoid" album were written in the same time period and it only took 2 to 3 days to complete the whole album live in studio. Believe it or not "Paranoid" the song was just supposed to be a 3 minute filler song for the album. It was basically an afterthought and Tony did the rift. They lyrics were done my Geezer and Ozzy read and sung them at the same time.

Heavy metal reared its ugly heard in the latter part of the 1960’s (Hjelm, Kahn-Harrris and LeVine, 2011). Influential

Sublime’s music was highlighted by bass-driven grooves, reggae rhythms, elaborately-cadenced rhyme schemes and transitions between paces and styles throughout a given song, sometimes alternating between thrash punk, ska and reggae within the same song (see “Seed”). Their music often contains psychedelic, harmonic, minor-based or bluesy guitar solos, rhythmically-improvised bass solos or dub lines, turntable scratching and rolling drum transitions and heavy bass lines. They are known for being one of the first and most influential reggae fusion musicians. (5)

Starting from the hard rock riff at the beginning to the oohh and yeah!s though out the track, purple haze reflects a trippy ambience.

A sense of feeling or beauty that makes the listener’s emotions come alive. When talking about beauty, the real topic is the sound of the music and how it makes the listener feel. The listener listens to music for the sound, to hear the melody, harmony, and rhythm to hear what it’s saying (Hodges). This is what makes the listener feel the emotions of the song, the story. The question is: Can metal music and traditional music have the same beauty? Can these two genres have the same appeal that relates to all audiences? Studies show that metal music can help relate to one’s feelings. The listener likes to listen to music that relates to their mood. They use music, “enhance their happiness, immerse themselves in feelings of love and enhance their well-being” (Metal Injection). The listener chooses their music that they best relate to and how the sound makes them feel. Traditional music listeners can relate to the genre because most of the songs are about slave culture, or the Great Depression, etc., but they also talk about talk about the struggles of life (Kabra). The beauty in both these genres is about the relationship between it and the listener, and feelings that arise while listening to it. The beauty of imagination pairs the physicality of music, “with human moods, characteristics, states of mind or personality” and uses the

Napalm Records have set to become a haven for stoner fans. The label saw the rising interest in this type of music, so they started testing the grounds by signing some classic acts such as Karma to Burn, Monster Magnet or Brant Bjork. Soon after, another wave arrived with psychedelic groups like My Sleeping Karma, Glowsun or the hard rock/blues of The Sword or Zodiac. To complement these lighter bands, the Austrian label grabbed British “caveman battle doom” heroes, Conan. A bold move, however, Blood Eagle is a solid record that introduced these guys to a vast audience that eats this music for breakfast.

Chapter 18 was engaging to read and discuss in class. Throughout the chapter, we were give a detailed description of two concepts that came to life during the 1960s and further on. One of these concepts was, ‘The Power Trios’ which displayed the musical capacities of many guitarists. Most of them were given double duties by playing both the rhythm and lead roles. Just like any other genre of rock and roll the influence of the power trio came from Chicago blue bands and specifically from the Muddy Waters trio. The second concept we talked about was Heavy Metal. This style of music is strongly supported by drum and bass rhythms, which were developed in Britain. This genre of music was highly criticized by social media due to the negative attention

While being misunderstood by the critics of that time, ‘Black Sabbath’ was a groundbreaking moment, dividing Rock music on ‘before’ and ‘after’ and being the first herald of the genre known as ‘Heavy Metal’. During the following decade, Heavy Metal artists such as aforementioned Black Sabbath, Kiss, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and many others created their unique visual imagery: the dominance of dark colors in cover arts, clothing and design of instruments, down-the-back long hair and the iconic “sign of the horns” instantly became associated with the genre, finding both followers and

The animated beat that introduces “Drown Dreams”, an oblique, dreamy, chamber pop song, doesn’t dissemble some solemnity attached to its melody and harmonic conduction. There are a few grey clouds encircling it, but also some sunrays that make the liberation possible. Exclusively on this tune, Slavin plays synth and flutes.

the impression of the traditional style of brutal death metal. We could hear the malignant of Putridity's riffs, the madness of 'Deeds of Flesh's technical structure and Brodequin's rough

In order to give each other support, I noticed that the band members gave each other eye contacts occasionally; the two electric guitarists even fist bump each other to show encouragement. This was how the band members interacted with one another. During their performance, I saw that two members were playing the electronic guitar and it belongs to the String Family (Chordophones) among the five instrument families. Besides, there was also a drummer playing the drum kit behind the singers. This belongs to the Membranophones category. Some words to describe the timbre (tone color) of the electronic guitar include bassy, thick, deep, loud and sharp because we could clearly hear the sound of the electric guitar even though the environment was pretty noisy. Words to describe the timbre of the drum kit include full, I think these are some nice adjectives to describe this band because they are full of energy and provide audiences with lots of positive vibes through their voices and

to music critics Jackson’s album Thriller seemed to be inspired by “a mixture of several genres

Judas Priest was influenced by Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Both Black Sabbath and Judas Priest came from Birmingham, and were heavily influenced by the factories and bleak surroundings of the area (Bowe 26). Early in their career, Black Sabbath had let Judas Priest borrow their rehearsal space. One of the first members of Judas Priest had briefly been involved with Earth, which was the band that became Black Sabbath

The first hard rock and heavy metal music was produced by the rock group called Blue Cheer somewhere around 1967. Their music was angry and had a noticeably heavy beat.. At this time, the music of the Rolling Stones, too, became harder and angry, with a negative accent. Many other groups sprang up during this period. In truth, hard drugs, mixed with psychedelics were having an effect. The world was witnessing a new phenomenon: musical groups of young men - opening doors to the psychic world through the use of drugs - were using electrified instruments to bring in a new music that was harmful to the human psyche, destructive, and angry (2).
