Headbangers In Their Natural Element

Feb 9, 2016

The new book Headbangers is a collection of Danish photographer Jacob Ehrbahn’s intimate portraits of the beauty and chaos of heavy metal rockers in the throes of musical ecstasy taken at European metal festivals such as Denmark’s Copenhell, Germany’s Wacken Open Air, and Sweden’s Metaltown. Heavy metal fans go totally berserk when listening to their music. Some shake their heads violently from side to side and back and forth, while others go all in and flail their entire bodies in time to the blast beats. In this collection Ehrbahn’s camera stops time and captures the surprising and life-affirming moments when the headbangers abandon all semblance of vanity and surrender to the rhythm. Ehrbahn transports us to an intimate world disconnected from time and space—a universe where it’s possible to transcend the frenzy and enter an altered state that brings calm, joy, and relief.

It’s Official, As If You Needed More Proof. Adele Is #1 Global Recording Artist

Adele has been named by IFPI as the most popular recording artist across the globe in 2015, reflecting the phenomenal success of her record-breaking third album, 25.

The singer/songwriter is the third recipient of the IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year award, a unique accolade that reflects an artist’s worldwide popularity across physical formats, downloads and streams.

Adele’s success at the top of the chart was driven by the October release and subsequent phenomenal global success of lead single Hello from the album. The track was number one in more than 30 countries worldwide, including the US, Germany, France, Italy, Australia and the UK.

Adele’s album 25 followed in November and to date has notched up worldwide sales of over 15 million.

Commenting on today’s award, IFPI chief executive Frances Moore said: “I’m delighted to be able to honour Adele as the most popular global recording artist of 2015. Her album 25 has been the runaway global sensation of the year, breaking records across the world and reaching a vast audience of fans. All of the artists in our top 10 chart have achieved incredible success – and Adele’s achievement is simply phenomenal.”

IFPI’s Global Recording Artist award and top 10 chart is the first and only ranking to accurately capture the popularity of artists across streaming channels, alongside digital and physical album and singles sales on a global basis. Recipients in 2013 and 2014, respectively, were One Direction and Taylor Swift.

Of the top 10 artists featuring in IFPI’s 2015 global chart, Ed Sheeran took second place, one up from the third spot he occupied on the 2014 ranking. The singer/songwriter, who released his second studio album x in June 2014, sold out Wembley stadium in the UK on three consecutive nights in summer 2015. He also had a high profile in 2015 with a busy schedule of touring, award wins and personal appearances, whilst launching his very own record label, Gingerbread Man Records, an imprint of Atlantic Records UK.

In February 2015, Sheeran received the award for British Male Solo Artist and the top accolade for British Album of the Year for x at the 2015 BRIT Awards and in May picked up an Ivor Novello Award for songwriter of the year. He also co-hosted the 2015 MTV Europe Music Awards in October and ended the year as Spotify’s most streamed act of all time (overtaking Eminem) with more than three billion streams, including more than 59 million listens in 2015 alone. In third place this year was Taylor Swift, who was the recipient of the 2014 IFPI Global Recording Artist award. Swift had a phenomenally busy year with her October 2014 release 1989 continuing to dominate the worldwide charts in 2015 after notching up 1.3 million sales in the first week of release in the US alone. The album subsequently went on to sell 5.5 million copies by the end of 2015 in the US.

In early 2015 Swift released a deluxe version of 1989, which had been exclusively launched the previous year at Target and, in May, she began the massive 85-date 1989 World Tour. By the time the tour, which featured guests including Ed Sheeran and The Weeknd, ended in December 2015 it had become the highest grossing tour of the year. Justin Bieber took the fourth spot and One Direction (recipients of the 2013 Global Recording Artist award) were placed fifth.

Whenever I talk about what makes a video go viral, I usually say make the audience either laugh, cry or get angry. I should just say fill up a mini-train full of cute dogs, and watch the hits pile up.

Texas Famous reports that a man in Fort Worth, Texas frequently takes his pack of dogs on a mini-train ride around town.

That time George Harrison refused to appear nude onscreen. In a pool. With a hippopotamus.

To coincide with the release on DVD of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s first film in 22 years, The Dance Of Reality, Uncut thought of us when they posted the full transcript of the interview they conducted with the filmmaker for their issue.

Are you pleased that the soundtrack for The Holy Mountain is finally coming out?
Yes. I had problems with the producer [Allen Klein] for thirty years. Later, with his son, we make peace and I remastered the picture, and the public can see it now. But the music in the picture is not the complete music we composed. On the record, you have all the music not in the picture. So I am very happy.

What was the problem with Allen Klein?
We have a little…. He wanted me to make a picture, so I escaped, I didn’t want to do it. Evidently, he hated me. And then we fought.

How did you first meet John Lennon?
[Hendrix producer] Alan Douglas had a little company. They had El Topo because no one wanted to buy it. He was a friend of John Lennon and Yoko Ono and said to them, ‘See the picture? If you like the picture, show your public the picture.’ And they did. Then they recommended Allen Klein buy El Topo, and he did it.

Wasn’t George Harrison meant to be in The Holy Mountain?
He was staying in the Plaza Hotel [in New York], in a big suite. He was dressed all in white. Very, very spiritual. He said, ‘I like the script, I want to do the picture. But there is one little part I cannot do.’ I said, ‘What little part?’ He said, ‘In a swimming pool, with a hippopotamus, I must clean my asshole in front of the camera. I don’t want to do that.’ I said to him, ‘I am very happy that you like my picture. But this moment is very important for the picture and you are the biggest star and if you show your anus it will be the most fantastic illustration of how humble your ego is.’ And then he said, ‘No, I can’t do it.’ So I said, ‘Well, I can’t work with you.’ I lost millions of dollars! I lost another picture!

A New Species Of Tarantulas Named After Johnny Cash

A new species of tarantula has been named after Johnny Cash. Aphonopelma johnnycashi is “found around Folsom [Prison] and the males are predominantly all black, so it fits his image,” says naturalist Chris Hamilton, who led the team that discovered the spider. The only way to kill them? Put them in a ring of fire, until they go down, down, down and the flames went higher.
