THE ELECTRIC THEATER WITH CLOWN OF SLIPKNOT: INTERVIEW WITH LAINA DAWES

 

 

THE ELECTRIC THEATER hosted by  CLOWN OF SLIPKNOT has interviewed metal journalist LAINA DAWES.   

 

 

 LAINA DAWES "What Are You Doing Here?":A Black Woman's Life And Liberation In Heavy Metal" was unleashed in 2012 via Bazillion Points.

 SLIPKNOT unleashed  "WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND",  8/9/2019 via ROADRUNNER RECORD

 

FROM IAN CHRISTE: 

 

Black women in metal are not standing back, and sure as hell not standing by...
Clown from Slipknot calls up WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? author Laina Dawes to talk about the rising number of Black women in metal, and the surprising barriers (surprising to outsiders, anyway) she and others have smashed to find liberation and meaning in this music: 
 
 
 
 
 FROM KNOTFEST:
 
 Published author, cultural commentator and professor Laina Dawes paired with the clown of Slipknot for an honest conversation about identity, adversity, and ultimately finding solace in music in what has become an especially uncertain world. Sharing their personal experiences, both good and bad, the duo find common ground in challenging the expectations and thriving outside of the confines of the general pubic considers typical. The highly personal conversation examines counter culture from an intellectual perch.

SANCTUARY: ANNOUNCE "INTO THE MIRROR BLACK 30th ANNIVERSARY" FALL 2021 EUROPEAN TOUR DATES WITH HALCYON WAY

 


Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. progressive metal warriors SANCTUARY have announced  "INTO THE MIRROR BLACK 30th ANNIVERSARY" FALL 2021 EUROPEAN TOUR DATES WITH HALCYON WAY.

 

 

 SANCTUARY unleashed "THE YEAR THE SUN DIED", 9/24/2014 via AVALON. 

SANCTUARY unleashed "INTO THE MIRROR BLACK",  2/27/1990 via EPIC RECORDS.

HALCYON WAY unleashed "BLOODY BUT UNBOWED", 8/3/2018 via AGONIA RECORDS.

 

 

 

FROM SANCTUARY: 

 

SANCTUARY coming to Europe for their “Into The Mirror Black 30th Anniversary” tour in the fall 2021 with support from HALCYON WAY!
Seattle, Washington based metal veterans SANCTUARY will be coming back to Europe in the fall 2021 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their classic record ‘Into The Mirror Black’ (1990) and its remastered special edition release, due October 9th, 2020 via Century Media Records.
Even though the initial plans to commemorate this big anniversary live in 2020 with current singer Joseph Michael (
Witherfall
) had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, fear not, because the band will still be playing ‘Into The Mirror Black’ in its entirety in 2021 and the anniversary of this great album will still be celebrated accordingly.
Originally formed back in 1985 SANCTUARY are one of the most unique and captivating acts to emerge. After quickly having established the band as a household name for high-class metal and having gathered supporters all around the globe with their first two albums ‘Refuge Denied’ (1988) and ‘Into The Mirror Black’ (1990) the band´s commercial career came to an unfortunate halt, leading to the creation and rise of
Nevermore
. In 2011 though, Sanctuary reformed again, celebrated its live comeback, put out their third album, ‘The Year The Sun Died’ in 2014 and are now more than eager to start a new chapter in the band´s history. Both by staying true to their roots and fans from back in the days and by still being at the ravages of time when it comes to the remastered sound of their most successful album ‘Into The Mirror Black’ attracting new fans all over the world.
The album was carefully remastered by Zeuss (
Queensrÿche
,
Iced Earth
,
Overkill
) to make it sound a bit fuller and heavier without losing the original feel and the extra tracks are real gems for SANCTUARY devotees. Its gloomy atmosphere and thought-provoking lyrics, its brilliant mix borderlining heavy and thrash metal, its stellar guitar work and the expressive vocals of the one and only
Warrel Dane
 (R.I.P.) are just some of the reasons why this record stood the test of time.
And why this tour will be one for the books for sure!
Support will be coming from Atlanta, Georgia based progressive power metal band
Halcyon Way
.

NIGHTWISH, AMORPHIS, DELAIN, SWALLOW THE SUN and BATTLE BEAST FIRE BOOKING AGENT JOHN FINBERG OVER MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS

 


 JOHN FINBERG, President of FIRST ROW TALENT has been FIRED by various clients including NIGHTWISH, AMORPHIS, DELAIN, SWALLOW THE SUN and BATTLE BEAST over sexual, racial misconduct and abuse. 

Yesterday, an article appeared on METAL INJECTION and METAL SUCKS as various sources claimed JOHN FINBERG sexually and racially abused many people. 


 https://www.metalsucks.net/2020/09/28/sexual-harassment-and-bullying-booking-titan-john-finbergs-accusers-speak-out/

 

FROM BATTLE BEAST: 

 

First Row Talent is no longer booking Battle Beast in North America or anywhere in the world.


Abuse, racism and sexism have no place in music business nor anywhere else for that matter.

Love,
BATTLE BEAST
 
 
 
FROM AMORPHIS: 
 
Amorphis does not accept any form of bullying, harassment or racism. Due to current allegations against First Row Talent Agency and John Finberg, effective immediately - John Finberg does not represent Amorphis in the United States, Canada or any other territory.
—AMORPHIS
 
 
 
FROM NIGHTWISH: 
 
 
"Nightwish have ceased to employ Mr Finberg and have severed all contact with him and his company."
 
 
 
FROM DELAIN: 
 
Delain ceased to employ John Finberg and his company during their last USA tour in 2019. First Row talent and John Finberg are no longer booking Delain in North America, Canada or any other territory. Delain does not accept any form of harassment, bullying, sexism or racism.
LOVE
Delain
NIGHTWISH & TILL DAWN THEY COUNT LTD
 
 
FROM SWALLOW THE SUN:  
From this day on First Row Talent Agency does not represent Swallow the Sun in North America. We will inform you later about our upcoming tour.
 
 
FROM SONATA ARCTICA: 
We strongly condemn all forms of harassment, bullying and abuse.
Sonata Arctica has ceased to collaborate with John Finberg and his company since Jan 1st 2020.
All the best,
Sonata Arctica
 
 
 FROM AMARANTHE;

AMARANTHE does not accept harassing, racism or sexism. We have never done a tour under the First Row Talent/John Finberg banner so far, and the North America tour that was in the pipeline will now be done together with a different company.
 
 
FROM ANGRA: 
 
 

 FROM HAMMERFALL: 


FROM POWERGLOVE: 

Powerglove is no longer working with John Finberg / first row talent.
We will post an update as soon as we have more information about our next tour.
 
 
FROM ICED EARTH: 
 
 t seems there was some confusion the last few days about First Row Talent representing Iced Earth. To be clear, John Finberg never was an agent for Iced Earth. I met him many years ago and had zero interest in working with him. It was very clear to me the kind of person he is, and his reputation is one of the worst in the business. He was the booking agent for several bands that we have toured with through the years, and a shady ex-manager of Iced Earth hired his company to do meet and greets for a tour several years ago. When I found out well into the tour that his company was running the meet and greets, I had angry words with said former manager. The music business is filled with these scumbags. Good riddance. -JS

FROM INSOMNIUM:

FROM OMNIUM GATHERUM: 

 
Due to recent events and allegations - John Finberg / First Row Talent doesn’t anymore represent Omnium Gatherum in North America.
Omnium Gatherum doesn’t support any kind of sexism, racism, nor bullying!
the OG’s
 
 
 FROM U.D.O.: 

 
In the past Dirkschneider and U.D.O. have worked with John Finberg but stopped all cooperation after we realized his character. We are shocked how disgusting the situation looks right now but also glad some people had the balls to go public. For us he is history since a long time but there is no way back to work with him ever again.
Furthermore we stay united against each kind of intolerance
such as sexism, racism etc.
There is no place for this in metal and no place for this on this planet.
We would like to encourage everyone to speak up and fight these disgusting
behaviours everywhere!
 
 
 
FROM KAMELOT: 
 
It should go without saying that any form of harassment, bullying, racism has no place in business, music, internet, home or anywhere!! Any allegations should be taken serious and due process should be applied. Our contact pages were updated days ago, please take note.

It goes without saying that any form of harassment, bullying, racism has no place in business, music, internet, home or anywhere! All scheduled shows will be canceled and rescheduled with new representation. Mat, Ralf, Tom, Alex, Magnus & Michael
 
 
FROM FIREWIND: 
 
Due to the recent allegations against John Finberg, Firewind will no longer be working with First Row Talent in North America.
