Neue Lizenz von -EE ist soweit erfreulich, macht aber auch Arbeit.

Es müssen die für Saxon-JS 2 / 3 erstellten Kompilate neu erzeugt werden, denn die darauf beruhenden Anwendungen stellen ja zum expiry-Datum ihre Dienste ein.

Zudem muss man sich erinnern, dass Saxon-EE 12.5 bei 2.x ein Problem mit der Prüfsumme hat, jedoch nicht bei 3.0 beta. Also muss ggf. 12.4 angeworfen werden, bis mal 12.6 erscheint. ✅

👑 Heavy Metal Kingdom - Wie britische Bands den Rock aufmischten 🤘 🎸 (arte-Mediathek bis 29.3.2025) - Doku über die "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" (NWOBHM)

"Die Doku blickt zurück auf eine musikalische und kulturelle Revolution der 1980er-Jahre in Großbritannien: Die New Wave of British Heavy Metal – auch bekannt unter der umständlichen Abkürzung NWOBHM – war nicht nur ein Sprungbrett für legendäre Bands wie Iron Maiden und Def Leppard, sondern stellte auch die Weichen für den Metal von heute.

Vor 40 Jahren wurde in Großbritannien die Rockmusik revolutioniert: mit brutalen Riffs und hämmernden Rhythmen eroberte NWOBHM die Szene – das unaussprechliche Akronym für New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Es war eine musikalische Explosion, die zu einem integralen Bestandteil der Rockgeschichte wurde. Aus der Bewegung entstanden Bands wie Iron Maiden, Saxon, Girlschool und Def Leppard.
Als die neue Metal-Welle Ende der 1970er Jahre auf Großbritannien zurollte, galt Punk als cooler, war Disco angesagter. Der neue Stil mit den massiven Sounds war zwar hart und schnell, aber irgendwie auch oldschool. Die Medien interessierten sich nicht für das Genre, es blieb beim subkulturellen Randphänomen. Dabei gäbe es ohne NWOBHM heute wohl keine headbangenden und Luftgitarre spielenden Fans, weder Metal-Magazine noch Metal-Festivals. Der Film blickt auf die Geschichte einer Bewegung zurück, die die Grundlagen für den Metal von heute legte. NWOBHM hat es verdient, dass man sich an ihre fulminanten Erfolge und nicht weniger großartigen Flops erinnert.
Regisseurin Sophie Peyrard lässt die verrückte und kreative Atmosphäre Anfang der 1980er Jahre im Film wieder aufleben. Als Material dienen ihr dabei ausschließlich Archivaufnahmen, Konzertmitschnitte und Interviews mit den Menschen, die damals Musikgeschichte schrieben – zum Beispiel Paul Di‘Anno, der erste Sänger von Iron Maiden, Biff Byford von Saxon oder Kim McAuliffe von Girlschool, einer der wenigen weiblichen Heavy-Metal-Formationen, die sich in dieser Männerdomäne behaupten konnten.
Außerdem traf sich die Regisseurin mit Lars Ulrich, dem Schlagzeuger und Mitbegründer von #Metallica , einer der größten Metalbands der Welt. Die Formation aus den USA ist auf den Einfluss von Diamond Head zurückzuführen, einer NWOBHM-Gruppe, die heute weitgehend in Vergessenheit geraten ist."

Angry Metal Guy

Blackslash – Heroes, Saints & Fools Review

By Holdeneye

If you’ve read my last few year-end lists, you probably know that I’ve been struggling to find my Angry Metal Motivation for quite a while. I like to consider myself a jack-of-all-trades reviewer, so instead of pigeonholing myself into one or two genres of expertise, I usually bounce haphazardly from promo to promo, just grabbing whatever seems to fit my current mood. On the plus side, this has led to a pretty significant broadening of my musical taste, but it has also sometimes left me feeling like a rudderless ship afloat on an endless sea of sub-genres. I’ve noticed that when I get discouraged about reviewing, I unconsciously drift towards soothing tried-and-true sounds, and those usually tend to be of the pure heavy metal variety—as evidenced by my two latest deep dives, Sabaton and Manowar, I don’t discriminate between the modern or more old-school versions of the style. So, after noticing this trve tendency within my psyche, I’ve decided to make a conscious effort to experiment with pseudo-specialization when it comes to promo selection. With the recent departure of Huck N’ Roll and the descent of Steel Druhm into disgusting death metal madness, someone has to cover the real heavy metal. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: you can’t spell Holdeneye without ‘olde.’

It doesn’t get much olde-r, sound-wise that is, than what Germany’s Blackslash have been laying down since their 2007 formation (with the exact same lineup, I might add. Impressive!). Drawing power from their patrons, heavy metal deities like Iron Maiden and Saxon, Blackslash specialize in extremely guitar-forward tunes of all speeds and sizes. Embedded single “Heroes, Saints & Fools” just oozes classic metal. Between the epic flair of the intro and outro leads, the hair-metal pinch harmonics that kick in once the song hits full speed, and the very “Number of the Beast” delivery of the chorus, this track checks just about every box for what makes heavy metal the greatest accomplishment of the human race.

That holy, lionhearted, halberd-wielding hellion on the cover looks an awful lot like Maiden’s Eddie, and that resemblance is fitting given Blackslash’s faithful use of many of that band’s signature musical elements. “The Watcher” begins and ends with a Steve Harris bass riff accompanied by clean guitars that would feel right at home on any of Maiden’s 2000-and-later albums, and the rest of the song pays homage to the band’s classic 80s stuff. “Die By the Blade” continues that homage, penultimate track “Where Are We Heading To?” combines Maiden guitars with some Bon Jovi-style hard rock to deliver a surprisingly heartfelt ballad, and “Life After Death” adds the gritty influence of Blackslash’s countrymates Accept into this mix of trveness.

If Heroes, Saints & Fools is a successful heavy metal album—which it is—it is so for two reasons: the very Biff Byford-esque delivery of singer Clemens Haas, and the amazing chemistry of the guitar duo comprised of Christian Haas and Daniel Hölderle. Clemens balances his crooning with just enough gravel to truly impress, and if you pick any random moment on this record, there’s a good chance you’ll hear the guitars doing something really cool when you press ‘play’—one of my favorite moments is the triumphant intro to closer “Maniacs and Madmen.” “Sacrificed” is the one song that I might have left on the cutting room floor if forced to choose, but the rest of the album certainly qualifies as ‘very good,’ with “Tokyo,” “The Watcher,” “Maniacs and Madmen,” and the title track approaching greatness.

I’m sure I’ll jinx myself by saying this, but the olde gods of heavy metal seem to be blessing my oath of devotion to all things traditional by bestowing upon me an unexpected boon of goodness in the early parts of 2025. Blackslash literally wear their influences on their cover art, and they’ve done those influences proud on Heroes, Saints & Fools. Fans of Maiden, Accept, and Saxon are highly encouraged to play it loud.

Old farts still got it? 👴

There were some releases by icons of their genre:

#JudasPriest... 'nuff said. Gods. 🐐

#DeepPurple... oh hell yeah continue please!

#BruceDickinson... one of my biggest surprises this year. Better than the latest Maiden album.

#Saxon... solid album, but not as good as the last ones.

#NickCave... solid, go on then.

#TheCure... please never stop! 🖤

#Accept... strong meh. Nowehere near their late masterpiece "The Rise of Chaos"

#Anvil... I hate to break it to you but as much as I love them, their album sucked big time. I was very generous with my ranking because you can't kill Bambi, can you?
