Book Description
Many metal songs incorporate poetry into their lyrics using a broad array of techniques, both textual and musical. This book develops a novel adaptation, appropriation, and quotation taxonomy that both expands our knowledge of how poetry is used in metal music and is useful for scholars across adaptation studies broadly. The text follows both a quantitative and a qualitative approach. It identifies 384 metal songs by 224 bands with intertextual ties to 146 poems written by fifty-one different poets, with a special focus on Edgar Allan Poe, John Milton's Paradise Lost and the work of WWI's War Poets. This analysis of transformational mechanisms allows poetry to find an afterlife in the form of metal songs and sheds light on both the adaptation and appropriation process and on the semantic shifts occasioned by the recontextualisation of the poems into the metal music culture. Some musicians reuse – and sometimes amplify – old verses related to politics and religion in our present times; others engage in criticism or simple contradiction. In some cases, the bands turn the abstract feelings evoked by the poems into concrete personal experiences. The most adventurous recraft the original verses by changing the point of view of either the poetic voice or the addressed actors, altering the vocaliser of the narrative or the gender of the protagonists. These mechanisms help metal musicians make the poems their own and adjust them to their artistic needs so that the resulting product is consistent with the expectations of the metal music culture.

Book Description
The Oxford Handbook of Music and Medievalism provides a snapshot of the diverse ways in which medievalism--the retrospective immersion in the images, sounds, narratives, and ideologies of the European Middle Ages--powerfully transforms many of the varied musical traditions of the last two centuries. Thirty-three chapters from an international group of scholars explore topics ranging from the representation of the Middle Ages in nineteenth-century opera to medievalism in contemporary video game music, thereby connecting disparate musical forms across typical musicological boundaries of chronology and geography. While some chapters focus on key medievalist works such as Orff's Carmina Burana or Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films, others explore medievalism in the oeuvre of a single composer (e.g. Richard Wagner or Arvo P�rt) or musical group (e.g. Led Zeppelin). The topics of the individual chapters include both well-known works such as John Boorman's film Excalibur and also less familiar examples such as Eduard Lalo's Le Roi d'Ys. The authors of the chapters approach their material from a wide array of disciplinary perspectives, including historical musicology, popular music studies, music theory, and film studies, examining the intersections of medievalism with nationalism, romanticism, ideology, nature, feminism, or spiritualism. Taken together, the contents of the Handbook develop new critical insights that venture outside traditional methodological constraints and provide a capstone and point of departure for future scholarship on music and medievalism.

Book Description
This book demonstrates the rich and varied ways in which heavy metal music draws on the ancient Greek and Roman world. Contributors examine bands from across the globe, including: Blind Guardian (Germany), Therion (Sweden), Celtic Frost, Eluveitie (Switzerland), Ex Deo (Canada/Italy), Heimdall, Stormlord, Ade (Italy), Kawir (Greece), Theatre of Tragedy (Norway), Iron Maiden, Bal-Sagoth (UK), and Nile (US). These and other bands are shown to draw inspiration from Classical literature and mythology such as the Homeric Hymns, Vergil's Aeneid, and Caesar's Gallic Wars, historical figures from Rome and ancient Egypt, and even pagan and occult aspects of antiquity. These bands' engagements with Classical antiquity also speak to contemporary issues of nationalism, identity, sexuality, gender, and globalization. The contributors show how the genre of heavy metal brings its own perspectives to Classical reception, and demonstrate that this music-often dismissed as lowbrow-engages in sophisticated dialogue with ancient texts, myths, and historical figures. The authors reveal aspects of Classics' continued appeal while also arguing that the engagement with myth and history is a defining characteristic of heavy metal music, especially in countries that were once part of the Roman Empire.

Book Description
As with all of my writing, I find it therapeutic to express myself through words. Whenever I have come across negative energy, I try to release it in a productive way. Writing has always helped me to achieve that. It is the same whenever I have come across negative people as well. I like to write about them. I find that by the time I have completed a poem, the negative energy that I was feeling is gone. Replacing that negative energy is feelings of retribution, vindication, self-accomplishment, and positivity.Listening to music has always had a therapeutic value for me. I love dozens of genres of music from all over the globe. However, I am especially fond of the intensity that is found in Thrash Metal, Death Metal, and Doom Metal. The poems in this book contain various elements of these music styles.I am very fond of Metal music for its diversity, its technical ability, its graphic lyrics, and its uncompromising attitude. In this book, you will find elements of the extreme genres of Metal music. Nearly every poem in this book was written with a specific piece of human garbage in mind. I am often told by people who have heard me recite my poetry, that they hear a Hardcore Rap or Horrorcore Hip-hop element in my writing along with the Metal one. I take this as a compliment. It does not surprise me at all that people say this because I have enjoyed both Horrorcore Hip-hop and Hardcore Rap since their inceptions. I have enjoyed the intensity of these genres of music for decades, it is only natural that they have bled into my writing style.These styles of music are intense, aggressive, unyielding and uncompromising. Much like the poetry in this book, the mentality of these music styles are without complaint, recoil or regret.I have selected the 41 poems for this republication because they have these similar themes:Metal lyrics, Empowerment & Retribution

Book Description
I cant believe it myself, but this book, Stay Strong, is already the sixth one that I wrote. Also, this time, its a combination of fifty poems in English, plus one in French at the end of the book. I guess I have to face it; I cant stop now. So keep on writing is the message. Ill go forward to the next book, which will be the seventh one, of course. Dont worry; Ive already started on that seventh book. I have the feeling that the poems in Stay Strong are a bit heavier with more fierce language while the poems of book five, Never Give Up, were a bit softer and easier on the heart. For sure, it was the softest of them all, spoken in general terms, of course. While this book Stay Strong is just the opposite. My health has grown stronger, certainly after a last operation in April 2017, so that gave me more strength and willpower to go on. This means that this sixth book, Stay Strong, is also my sixth book that is being published by Xlibris.
