La Suède débarque en force au Zenith de Paris en ce lundi soir. Et pour qui aime le death mélodique suédois, c'est une affiche de rêve à laquelle nous assistons. Il n'est donc pas surprenant de voir que la salle du parc de la Villette (même en petite configuration) affiche complet. Et pourtant, à l'heure où Pete Tägtgren et Hypocrisy montent sur les planches, la fosse tout comme les gradins restent encore clairesemés.
Hypocrisy
Il est surprenant de voir Hypocrisy à l'affiche de cette soirée, étant donné que le combo n'a rien sorti depuis 2013. D'ailleurs le trio (agrémenté de Tomas Elofsson à la six cordes en live) profite de ce set pour balayer l'ensemble de sa discographie sortie avant 2005. Si sur le papier un tel set donne envie, les conditions live ne permettent pas d'en profiter pleinement. Dans un premier temps, des fumigènes omniprésents masquent la visibilité des spectateurs et seules les silhouettes des musiciens se distinguent. Difficile dans ces conditions de se rendre compte du charisme de Pete Tägtgren, pourtant musicien et producteur éminemment respecté dans la scène metal.
De plus, la mise en son n'est pas des plus optimales. Une reverb désagréable est présente sur la voix et la caisse claire, tandis que la double-pédale de la batterie de Horgh (Immortal) brouille le spectre sonore. Cela n'aide évidemment pas les spectateurs à rentrer dans ce set et ce sont seulement des applaudissements polis que récoltent les quatre musiciens entre les titres.
Dommage qu'un groupe à la carrière aussi longue qu'Hypocrisy n'ait bénéficié que de conditions sonores et visuelles désastreuses (en fin de set, le groupe semblait d'ailleurs lui-même gêné par les fumigènes), et en dépit des tentatives du chanteur pour communiquer avec le public, ce set des Suédois ne restera pas dans les mémoires des spectateurs.

Si l'on regarde le nombre de t-shirts portés par les spectateurs dans la salle à l'effigie d'Arch Enemy, il n'y a pas de doute, le groupe de Michael Amott est visiblement attendu. Il faut dire que le quintette n'a pas son pareil pour écrire des tubes ultra accrocheurs. C'est d'ailleurs "The World is Yours", l'un des single de Will to Power qui débute ce set sur les chapeaux de roue. Alissa White-Gluz est en pleine forme vocale et concernant sa prestation sur scène, elle ne faillit pas à sa réputation de pile électrique. Haranguant le public et s'adressant à lui aussi bien en anglais qu'en français, la jeune femme ajoute énormément de dynamisme à l'ensemble du combo. Sharlee D'Angelo (basse), de son côté vient régulièrement au devant du public et semble toujours prendre autant de plaisir à être sur scène.
Jeff Loomis (guitare) semble de son côté plus effacé bien que toujours irréprochable techniquement. Les soli particulièrement mélodiques qui ont fait la signature d'Arch Enemy ne lui posent en effet aucun soucis et l'on se demande parfois si le six-cordiste américain n'est pas un poil sous-exploité au sein de cette formation. Qu'importe, cela n'empêche pas les musiciens de balayer leur discographie récente en mettant en avant une pelleté de tubes (jugez vous-même) : le groovy "My Apocalypse", l'excellent "Under Black Flag We March", l'efficace "Nemesis" et même les petits derniers "War Eternal" et "The Eagle Flies Alone". Alors certes, on se dit qu'Arch Enemy ne prend pas beaucoup de risques en occultant totalement l'ère Liiva (les musiciens ont Black Earth pour cela) mais pour un set en première partie c'est l'efficacité qui prime.
Comme chacune de ses apparitions scéniques sous ce line-up, Arch Enemy est une machine de guerre, proposant des compositions efficaces et mélodiques et emmené par une frontwoman charismatique. C'est sur "Nemesis", qui récolte son lot de pogos dans la salle, que le quintette termine son set de la meilleure des manières.

Amon Amarth
Avant l'entrée en scène des Vikings d'Amon Amarth, un large rideau noir fait face aux spectateurs pour garder l'effet de surprise quant à la scénographie. Il ne reste que peu d'espace dans la fosse lorsque retentissent les notes du "Run to the Hills" d'Iron Maiden, juste avant que le rideau ne tombe. "Raven's Flight" démarre alors et l'on découvre un casque de viking géant sur lequel est juchée la batterie de Jocke Wallgren et dont les yeux servent d'écran. De part et d'autres, deux runes Ansuz symbolisant la lettre "A" sont présentes et s'enflammeront sur "Runes to my Memory".
Dès le début du set, on se rend compte qu'Amon Amarth a mis les petits plats dans les grands, à travers un show pyrotechnique impressionnant, et propose une prestation live impressionnante. Tel un Iron Maiden du death mélodique, le quintette suédois distille des gimmicks visuels tout au long du set. Tour à tour, le casque de viking géant se dresse, surélevant la batterie, des statues géantes se gonflent, figurant les Guardians d'Asgaard sur le titre éponyme, et Johan Hegg lève sa corne à notre santé sur "Raise Your Horns" qui s'achève sur un lâcher de confettis.
Mais au delà de cet aspect visuel, musicalement les Suédois sont irréprochables. La voix de Hegg est puissante et le charisme du vocaliste attire à lui tous les regards. Le son est également bien équilibré (surtout lorsque l'on songe au désastre sonore du set d'Hypocrisy) et le capital sympathie que dégage le quintette fait son effet.
Inévitablement, les deux derniers opus du groupe, Berserker (2019) et Jomsviking (2016), sont les mieux représentés dans la setlist. Mais Amon Amarth tente de piocher de façon équitable dans son abondante discographie et n'oublie pas les excellents "Death in Fire" (tiré de Versus the World, 2002) ou "The Pursuit of Vikings (Fate of Norns, 2004), qui font leur petit effet en live.
Après avoir levé leurs cornes à boire sur "Raise Your Horns", les Suédois s'éclipsent pour revenir avec "The Pursuit of Viking". Mais c'est bien évidemment l'incontournable "Twilight of the Thunder God" qui se charge de clore la soirée, avec son combat épique entre Johan Hegg et le serpent (gonflable) de Midgard, Jörmungand.
Avec un tel set et une scénographie aussi impressionnante, Amon Amarth se place en digne héritier de combos comme Iron Maiden et franchit un palier de plus vers les plus hautes sphères du metal européen. Il y a fort à parier que le quintette suédois se retrouve rapidement propulsé parmi les têtes d'affiches des festivals dans les années à venir.

Sweden arrives in force at the Zenith in Paris on Monday night. And for those who love Swedish melodic death, it's a dream poster we're seeing. It is therefore not surprising to see that the room of the park of Villette (even in small configuration) displays complete. And yet, as Pete Tägtgren and Hypocrisy get on the boards, the pit as well as the stands are still clear.
Hypocrisy
It is surprising to see Hypocrisy on the bill this evening, since the combo has not released anything since 2013. Besides the trio (with Tomas Elofsson six-string live) takes advantage of this set to sweep all of his discography released before 2005. If on paper such a set makes you want, live conditions do not allow you to enjoy it. At first, ubiquitous smokers mask the visibility of the audience and only the silhouettes of the musicians stand out. Difficult under these conditions to realize the charisma of Pete Tägtgren, yet musician and producer eminently respected in the metal scene.
In addition, the sound is not the most optimal. An unpleasant reverb is present on the voice and the snare, while the double-pedal of Horgh's battery (Immortal) blurs the sound spectrum. This obviously does not help the audience to get into this set and it is only polite applause that the four musicians collect between the titles.
Too bad that a group with a career as long as Hypocrisy has only benefited from disastrous sound and visual conditions (at the end of the set, the group seemed to be embarrassed by the smoke), and despite attempts singer to communicate with the public, this set of Swedes will not remain in the memories of the audience.
Arch Enemy
If you look at the number of T-shirts worn by the audience in the room with the image of Arch Enemy, there is no doubt, the group of Michael Amott is obviously expected. It must be said that the quintet has no equal to write ultra catchy tubes. This is also "The World is Yours", one of the single from Will to Power that starts this set on the hats. Alissa White-Gluz is in the vocal form and regarding her performance on stage, she does not fail in her reputation as an electric battery. Haranguing the audience and speaking to him in both English and French, the young woman adds a lot of dynamism to the whole combo. Sharlee D'Angelo (bass), meanwhile, comes regularly to the audience and always seems to enjoy being on stage.
Jeff Loomis (guitar) seems on his side more erased although always technically irreproachable. The particularly melodic solos that have made the signature of Arch Enemy do not pose any problem and sometimes one wonders if the American six-string player is not a bit under-exploited within this formation. Anyway, that does not prevent the musicians from sweeping their recent discography by putting forward a shovel of tubes (judge for yourself): the groovy "My Apocalypse", the excellent "Under Black Flag We March", the 'effective' Nemesis' and even the latest ones' War Eternal 'and' The Eagle Flies Alone '. So certainly, we say that Arch Enemy does not take a lot of risk by completely obscuring the Liiva era (the musicians have Black Earth for that) but for a set in the first part is the efficiency that prevails.
Like each of his stage appearances under this line-up, Arch Enemy is a war machine, offering effective and melodic compositions and led by a charismatic frontwoman. It is on "Nemesis", who collects his lot of pogos in the room, that the quintet finishes his set in the best way.
Amon Amarth
Before the appearance of Amon Amarth's Vikings, a large black curtain faces the spectators to keep the surprise effect on the scenography. There is little space left in the pit when Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills" notes sound just before the curtain falls. "Raven's Flight" then starts and we discover a giant viking helmet on which is perched the battery of Jocke Wallgren and whose eyes serve as a screen. On both sides, two Ansuz runes symbolizing the letter "A" are present and will ignite on "Runes to my Memory".
From the beginning of the set, we realize that Ammon Amarth has put the dishes in the big, through an impressive pyrotechnic show, and offers an impressive live performance. Like an Iron Maiden and goes one step further towards the highest spheres of European metal. It's a safe bet that the Swedish quintet is quickly propelled among the festival's headliners in the years to come.

Equal Pay Day
21. März, 12 – 14 Uhr
22 % auf ALLES für Frauen im sattgrün
Satte 22 Prozent – so hoch ist der Lohnunterschied zwischen Frauen und Männern im Durchschnitt. Gründe dafür sind:
Frauen arbeiten oft in Berufen, die schlechter bezahlt werden.
Frauen sind es meistens, die für die Erziehung ihrer Kinder oder die Pflege von Angehörigen eine Berufspause einlegen.
Frauen arbeiten häufig in Teilzeit und in Minijobs. Frauen erhalten bei gleichwertiger Qualifikation und gleichwertiger Arbeit weniger Geld.
Das wollen wir ändern und mit Ihnen hierüber ins Gespräch kommen.
Am Freitag zahlen Frauen im sattgrün am Hafen von 12 bis 14 Uhr für Essen und Getränke 22% weniger. Die GRÜNEN in NRW möchten mit dieser Aktion auf die immer noch bestehende Lohnungleichheit zwischen Frauen und Männern aufmerksam machen und laden ein zum gemütlichen Mittagessen mit:

So, UC Berkeley has a series of signs going down one of the main paths that are supposed to entice folks to go to Berkeley. Most of them are scholarly and insightful (and in prose). But I was taken aback by this one...I mean, I'll grant it's quirky, but it's painfullyinsipid.
Even less comprehensible than this young lady's take on her college is the number of people who must have had to approve this signage.

Nuthatches are notable for their ability climb up or down tree trunks with equal ease. This is made easy because of their powerful claws, visible here. During the past 25 years they have spread northwards in Britain and have now reached central Scotland, whereas just a few decades ago they were unknown in Scotland. The name Nuthatch has been in use for centuries and translates as nut hacker, from its habit of wedging nuts or acorns in bark crevices and hacking at them. The word hatchet for a small axe is from the same root. The scientific name Sitta is a Greek word for a bird like a Woodpecker mentioned by Aristotle and others.
I photographed this one in the South Yorkshire part of the Peak District National Park. The tree trunk is an oak and the blurry background is distant coniferous trees.
“Sweden is ready and will act for a new asylum system in the EU that is based on equal distribution and in which asylum is sought in the EU – not in an individual country,” said Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven as he debated current EU affairs with MEPs at the plenary session in Strasbourg Wednesday afternoon. In his speech, Löfven addressed the current refugee crisis and the need to reform the common asylum system, but he also urged the need for a more social Europe.

Bangotsab Samity has arranged for Basantotsab – The Festival of Colors at Cubbon Park Band Stand on Saturday, 22nd March at 9:00 AM.
Taken for : Active Assignment Weekly : Assignment 17th - 24th March: Newton's laws of motion
What it took:-
After seeing this assignment,I knew,this will be tough.
Its Holi festival in India now,and I went to this "The Festival of Colors" organised by Bangotsab Samiti.
This assignment was always in the back of my mind,and took "lots of lots of" shots to get a exact equal and opposite reaction out of the performers.
The modified Newton's third law(physics coupled with dance) :
For every action(read dance), there is an equal(both the ladies are wearing green sari) and opposite(yaa...they are so..) reaction (see the dance posture captured in the picture ).
And,I don't dare in Physics :))

This was an amazing location. Ward and I were lucky enough to have about ten minutes of shooting time up here. Mr. Only Six Words Jeff E. helped me with tilt-shifting. Big thanks for his help!! I still doubt this is up to his standards, but I hope you guys like!

As the dinner & dance ended, there were some centerpiece left. I took the cornucopia centerpiece which, thanks to its protruberant (fake) French bread, I've dubbed the Diversity Dildo. Happy diversity!
True Diversity Dinner, Snow Goose Restaurant, Anchorage, Alaska, September 25, 2009. The True Diversity Dinner was sponsored by several Alaska bloggers and information lists who had been active in the summer 2009 fight for the Anchorage equal rights ordinance A) 2009-64. After the ordinance passed but was then vetoed by Mayor Dan Sullivan, we decided to hold the dinner as an alternative to the Mayor's Unity Dinner (renamed from what used to by the Mayor's Diversity Dinner), because, we decided, "we all deserve a seat at the table." For further information, see the True Diversity Dinner website or my posts about the dinner www.henkimaa.com/tag/true-diversity-dinner/.
