Album
–
Album, is a collection of audio recordings issued as a single item on CD, record, audio tape, or another medium. Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century album sales have mostly focused on compact disc and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used from the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl, an album may be recorded in a recording studio, in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. Recording may take a few hours to years to complete, usually in several takes with different parts recorded separately. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed live, the majority of studio recordings contain an abundance of editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at times while listening to the other parts using headphones. Album covers and liner notes are used, and sometimes additional information is provided, such as analysis of the recording, historically, the term album was applied to a collection of various items housed in a book format. In musical usage the word was used for collections of pieces of printed music from the early nineteenth century. Later, collections of related 78rpm records were bundled in book-like albums, the LP record, or 33 1⁄3 rpm microgroove vinyl record, is a gramophone record format introduced by Columbia Records in 1948. It was adopted by the industry as a standard format for the album. Apart from relatively minor refinements and the important later addition of stereophonic sound capability, the term album had been carried forward from the early nineteenth century when it had been used for collections of short pieces of music. Later, collections of related 78rpm records were bundled in book-like albums, as part of a trend of shifting sales in the music industry, some commenters have declared that the early 21st century experienced the death of the album. Sometimes shorter albums are referred to as mini-albums or EPs, Albums such as Tubular Bells, Amarok, Hergest Ridge by Mike Oldfield, and Yess Close to the Edge, include fewer than four tracks. There are no rules against artists such as Pinhead Gunpowder referring to their own releases under thirty minutes as albums. These are known as box sets, material is stored on an album in sections termed tracks, normally 11 or 12 tracks. A music track is a song or instrumental recording. The term is associated with popular music where separate tracks are known as album tracks.

Pantera and Sepultura have been influential to the development of metalcore in the 2000s. Black Flag and Bad Brains, among the originators of hardcore, British street punk groups such as Discharge and the Exploited also took inspiration from heavy metal. The Misfits put out the Earth A. D. album, nonetheless, punk and metal cultures and music remained fairly separate through the first half of the 1980s. Cross-pollination between metal and hardcore eventually birthed the crossover thrash scene, which gestated at a Berkeley club called Ruthies, the term metalcore was originally used to refer to these crossover groups. Hardcore punk groups Corrosion of Conformity, D. R. I. and Suicidal Tendencies played alongside thrash metal groups like Metallica and Slayer. This scene influenced the skinhead wing of New York hardcore, which began in 1984. The Cro-Mags were among the most influential of these bands, drawing equally from Bad Brains, Motörhead, Cro-Mags also embraced straight edge and Krishna consciousness. Another New York metal-influenced straight edge group of time period is the Crumbsuckers. 1985 saw the development of the breakdown, an amalgamation of Bad Brains reggae and metal backgrounds. Agnostic Fronts 1986 album Cause for Alarm, a collaboration with Peter Steele, was a watershed in the intertwining of hardcore, between 1984 and 1995, a new wave of bands emerged. Hogans Heroes are the earliest metallic hardcore group and were formed in 1984. Other bands include Integrity, Biohazard, Hoods, Earth Crisis, Converge, Shai Hulud, All Out War, Madball, Starkweather, Judge, Strife, Rorschach, Vision of Disorder Hatebreed, and Disembodied. Integrity drew influence from the hardcore band G. I. S. M. Earth Crisis, Converge and Hatebreed borrowed from hardcore punk and death metal. Earth Crisiss 1995 album Destroy the Machines was particularly influential to the development of the genre, Biohazard, Coalesce and Overcast were also important early metalcore groups. Journalist Lars Gotrich wrote, Along with key records by The Dillinger Escape Plan and Botch, at the risk of sounding too reductive — metalcore was the natural progression where extreme metal and hardcore met, but with spiraling time signatures that somehow felt more aggressive. Shai Huluds 1997 album Hearts Once Nourished with Hope and Compassion became especially influential in the part of the decade

Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are associated with aggression. The first heavy metal such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath. During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the evolution by discarding much of its blues influence, Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibility. Beginning in the late 1970s, bands in the new wave of British heavy metal such as Iron Maiden, before the end of the decade, heavy metal fans became known as metalheads or headbangers. During the 1980s, glam metal became popular with such as Mötley Crüe. Since the mid-1990s popular styles have further expanded the definition of the genre and these include groove metal and nu metal, the latter of which often incorporates elements of grunge and hip hop. Heavy metal is characterized by loud distorted guitars, emphatic rhythms, dense bass-and-drum sound. Metal subgenres variously emphasize, alter, or omit one or more of these attributes, the typical band lineup includes a drummer, a bassist, a rhythm guitarist, a lead guitarist, and a singer, who may or may not be an instrumentalist. Keyboard instruments are used to enhance the fullness of the sound. Deep Purples Jon Lord played an overdriven Hammond organ, in 1970, John Paul Jones used a Moog synthesizer on Led Zeppelin III, by the 1990s, in. almost every subgenre of heavy metal synthesizers were used. The electric guitar and the power that it projects through amplification has historically been the key element in heavy metal. The heavy metal guitar sound comes from a use of high volumes. Guitar solos are an element of the heavy metal code. That underscores the significance of the guitar to the genre, most heavy metal songs featur at least one guitar solo, which is a primary means through which the heavy metal performer expresses virtuosity. One exception is nu metal bands, which tend to omit guitar solos, with rhythm guitar parts, the heavy crunch sound in heavy metal. Palm muting the strings with the hand and using distortion. Palm muting creates a tighter, more sound and it emphasizes the low end

Razor & Tie
–
Razor & Tie is an American entertainment company which consists of a record label and a music publishing company. It was established in 1990 by Craig Balsam and Cliff Chenfeld, based in New York City, Razor & Tie releases are distributed by Universal Music Group. Razor & Tie initially focused on albums and re-issues. Directly marketed through television spots, the label had success with 70s, 80s and 90s-themed albums. A retail label was launched in 1995 to release new albums from established and developing artists, including Dar Williams, Graham Parker, in 2001, Balsam and Chenfeld created Kidz Bop, a series of albums with young singers covering pop hits. Releases on Razor & Tie have cumulatively exceeded sales of 45 million physical and digital albums, singles, videos, a music publishing division was founded in 2007, and in 2014 Razor & Tie launched Washington Square Records, an alternative leaning label. In 2015 Concord Bicycle acquired an undisclosed percentage of Razor & Tie, which now operates as Razor & Tie Enterprises LLC, Razor & Tie was founded by Craig Balsam and Cliff Chenfeld, who met while in law school at NYU. Musicians as well as fans, they played and wrote songs together while pursuing their degrees. Following several years of practicing separately at large, corporate firms, Balsam and we really didn’t enjoy practicing law as much as we enjoyed music. So we began to think about ways we could maybe change our careers, in 1990, they founded Razor & Tie, naming the company after a song they had written while working as lawyers. In late 1990, working out of Chenfelds apartment, Razor & Tie released their first record, Those Fabulous 70s and it was sold through a late-night television spot presented by The 70s Preservation Society, an obviously fictitious entity which Balsam and Chenfeld had created to market the album. Through the commercial—which featured a fellow with a tie so wide you could land a helicopter on it—the album sold in excess of 100,000 copies. Those Fabulous 70s was followed by a series of genre-specific 70s records and 80s compilations. Living in the 90s, released in 1995, was the bestselling album of the period. Razor & Ties early business model focused on reissues. It was great because we were allowed to get into a lot of music that we loved, and it was a business scale that worked very well for us. At the time, if we sold twenty thousand copies of something we could make that work, the first album Razor & Tie reissued was The Up Escalator by Graham Parker and the Rumour. In 1995, with an office in Greenwich Village, Razor & Tie launched a new music division, the first new artist signed to Razor & Tie was Dar Williams, who released her debut album The Honesty Room in February,1995

Record producer
–
A record producer or music producer oversees and manages the sound recording and production of a band or performers music, which may range from recording one song to recording a lengthy concept album. A producer has many roles during the recording process, the roles of a producer vary. The producer may perform these roles himself, or help select the engineer, the producer may also pay session musicians and engineers and ensure that the entire project is completed within the record companies budget. A record producer or music producer has a broad role in overseeing and managing the recording. Producers also often take on an entrepreneurial role, with responsibility for the budget, schedules, contracts. In the 2010s, the industry has two kinds of producers with different roles, executive producer and music producer. Executive producers oversee project finances while music producers oversee the process of recording songs or albums. In most cases the producer is also a competent arranger, composer. The producer will also liaise with the engineer who concentrates on the technical aspects of recording. Noted producer Phil Ek described his role as the person who creatively guides or directs the process of making a record, indeed, in Bollywood music, the designation actually is music director. The music producers job is to create, shape, and mold a piece of music, at the beginning of record industry, producer role was technically limited to record, in one shot, artists performing live. The role of producers changed progressively over the 1950s and 1960s due to technological developments, the development of multitrack recording caused a major change in the recording process. Before multitracking, all the elements of a song had to be performed simultaneously, all of these singers and musicians had to be assembled in a large studio and the performance had to be recorded. As well, for a song that used 20 instruments, it was no longer necessary to get all the players in the studio at the same time. Examples include the rock sound effects of the 1960s, e. g. playing back the sound of recorded instruments backwards or clanging the tape to produce unique sound effects. These new instruments were electric or electronic, and thus they used instrument amplifiers, new technologies like multitracking changed the goal of recording, A producer could blend together multiple takes and edit together different sections to create the desired sound. For example, in jazz fusion Bandleader-composer Miles Davis album Bitches Brew, producers like Phil Spector and George Martin were soon creating recordings that were, in practical terms, almost impossible to realise in live performance. Producers became creative figures in the studio, other examples of such engineers includes Joe Meek, Teo Macero, Brian Wilson, and Biddu

Single (music)
–
In music, a single or record single is a type of release, typically a song recording of fewer tracks than an LP record, an album or an EP record. This can be released for sale to the public in a variety of different formats, in most cases, a single is a song that is released separately from an album, although it usually also appears on an album. Typically, these are the songs from albums that are released separately for promotional uses such as digital download or commercial radio airplay and are expected to be the most popular, in other cases a recording released as a single may not appear on an album. As digital downloading and audio streaming have become prevalent, it is often possible for every track on an album to also be available separately. Nevertheless, the concept of a single for an album has been retained as an identification of a heavily promoted or more popular song within an album collection. Despite being referred to as a single, singles can include up to as many as three tracks on them. The biggest digital music distributor, iTunes, accepts as many as three tracks less than ten minutes each as a single, as well as popular music player Spotify also following in this trend. Any more than three tracks on a release or longer than thirty minutes in total running time is either an Extended Play or if over six tracks long. The basic specifications of the single were made in the late 19th century. Gramophone discs were manufactured with a range of speeds and in several sizes. By about 1910, however, the 10-inch,78 rpm shellac disc had become the most commonly used format, the inherent technical limitations of the gramophone disc defined the standard format for commercial recordings in the early 20th century.26 rpm. With these factors applied to the 10-inch format, songwriters and performers increasingly tailored their output to fit the new medium, the breakthrough came with Bob Dylans Like a Rolling Stone. Singles have been issued in various formats, including 7-inch, 10-inch, other, less common, formats include singles on digital compact cassette, DVD, and LD, as well as many non-standard sizes of vinyl disc. Some artist release singles on records, a more common in musical subcultures. The most common form of the single is the 45 or 7-inch. The names are derived from its speed,45 rpm. The 7-inch 45 rpm record was released 31 March 1949 by RCA Victor as a smaller, more durable, the first 45 rpm records were monaural, with recordings on both sides of the disc. As stereo recordings became popular in the 1960s, almost all 45 rpm records were produced in stereo by the early 1970s

The demo was first released at the bands first show, opening for melodic death metal act In Flames and they released their self-titled debut album the following year. Although initially the album was not a success and did not land on any charts, it attracted the interest of Carl Severson. Severson handed Killswitch Engage to several Roadrunner representatives, Mike Gitter, a talent agent of the company, contacted DAntonio, attended several of the bands shows, and offered the band a recording contract with Roadrunner. Realizing that Roadrunner had the resources to promote and distribute Killswitch Engage releases, for a brief time in 2000 and 2001, ex-Overcast guitarist Pete Cortese joined Killswitch Engage, but left when he became a father.

He commented, I was like, Meh, I come from hardcore and dirtier metal, and Killswitch sounded so clean. But the more I listened to it, I realized theres some good songs here

Rimensberger also linked the name Metal Hammer with other brands such as the BBC, MTV Metal Show with Bailey Brothers. Harry Doherty, formerly of Melody Maker, became the editor of the English-language Metal Hammer. He left to found the video magazine HardnHeavy, before being asked back by Wigginghaus to take all the European issues of Metal Hammer and other associated magazines. In association with Picture Music International, the arm of EMI Records, Doherty also launched the Metal Hammer Video Magazine, in direct competition with his earlier creation.

The original line-up did not last very long, however, with vocalist Paul Day being the first casualty as, according to Harris and he was replaced by Dennis Wilcock, a Kiss fan who used make-up and fake blood during live performances. Wilcocks friend Dave Murray was invited to join, to the dismay of the bands guitarists Dave Sullivan and their frustration led Harris to temporarily disband Iron Maiden in 1976, though the group reformed soon after with Murray as the sole guitarist. Steve Harris and Dave Murray remain the bands longest-standing members and have performed on all of their releases, Iron Maiden recruited yet another guitarist in 1977, Bob Sawyer, who was sacked for embarrassing the band on stage by pretending to play guitar with his teeth.

A new line-up was put together, including future Cutting Crew member Tony Moore on keyboards, Terry Wapram on guitar, and drummer Barry Purkis. A bad performance at the Bridgehouse, a pub located in Canning Town, in November 1977 was the line-ups first and only concert, at the same time, Moore was asked to leave as Harris decided that keyboards did not suit the bands sound.

Steve Harris, Dave Murray and Doug Sampson spent the summer, a chance meeting at the Red Lion pub in Leytonstone in November 1978 evolved into a successful audition for vocalist Paul DiAnno. Steve Harris has stated, Theres sort of a quality in Pauls voice, a raspiness in his voice, or whatever you want to call it, that just gave it this great edge. At this time, Murray would typically act as their sole guitarist, with Harris commenting, the plan was always to get a second guitarist in, but finding one that could match Davey was really difficult

I really dont have the ability to commit 100% between work and family at this point and its very disappointing for me and my true passion is music and, in this day and age, its really amazing that you can still make an impact through this art. CKY is the best band and I am always going to say they are my favorite band, jess, Chad, Deron and Matty are geniuses. Theyre my friends and extended family, CKY also has the best fans in the world and they took me in like family. Deis maintains strong ties to Western Massachusetts and he is an avid supporter of the Boston Red Sox baseball team. Deis is the brother-in-law of former NHL defenseman Gerald Diduck

The Order of Things (album)
–
The Order of Things is the seventh studio album by All That Remains. It was released on February 24,2015, on Razor & Tie Records, the Order of Things is the first studio album to be produced by Josh Wilbur. It is also the album to feature bassist Jeanne Sagan due to her departure from the band in September 2015. The album was recorded and produced by Josh Wilbur, the first song released from the album was No Knock. The song was first posted by Labontes pseudo-account called Harrison Ford with the video that was released on November 14,2014 entitled You Found Me and it later on was posted by All That Remains official YouTube Channel. Phil Labonte and producer Josh Wilbur wrote the lyrics for the album together and this is the first time that anyone has ever had any kind of input onto lyrics. But Josh is the guy thats actually worked with me about lyrics and stuff. A music video was made for This Probably Wont End Well, the album art for this album is based on an upwards view of the ceiling of the Pantheon in Rome, Italy. Phil Labonte stated about the album, I think this record is far and its, in my opinion, far and away better than Overcome. Personally, I think that we have a lot of songs on the new album that are better and he also stated, I think the record overall is probably leaning sing-y. Weve got 12 songs, and theres probably four or five songs that are beginning to end singing, theres some screaming worked into two or three. Drummer Jason Costa stated about the album, It definitely still sounds like us, but the heavy stuff is heavier, and the faster stuff is faster. We all really challenged ourselves on this album, and the radio stuff is more… not more radio, but theres definitely more singing, theres more melody and stuff like that. But the songs are fast, we have a lot of fast burners on this album, and the double-bass stuff for the heavier songs is really challenging for me this time. The patterns are super-hard, some of them, unlike the majority of the bands previous albums, The Order of Things received mixed to negative reviews from the critics. Ultimate-Guitar gave the album a score of 5, ultimately, this investment in a different sound doesnt pay off. Metalstorm. net gave the album a similar 5. 6/10, musicReviewRadar gave the record 2/5 stars stating that a tragic ballad sadly defined the main line of the entire record. Conversely Blabbermouth. net gave the album a positive 7. 5/10, Phil Labonte and his team are joyously doing whatever the hell they want, praise or scorn them all you like
