[000:00:00;00] students, i have been living in belarus for almost 5 years, and i noticed that people here are very open, they are always very ready to help each other and accept other people as foreigners, yes, they are very open, they like that foreigners came to us, live with us. they want to communicate with us, be friends, love us, in belarus i feel very calm and not a stranger, i feel like it’s like my home, when i ’m not in minsk, when i fly home to india and i really, really want to that i will quickly return to belarus because i miss

i miss here in the city, i miss pominsk, i miss my friends, it’s very... very convenient for me to live here, the time that i live in belarus is very, very important for me, because this is my student life, and i know very well that this time does not come to me again, this is the first and last time, but i live as a student, and i am very glad that during my student life i lived in belarus, in such a country as i have... she is very is close to my heart, and i will always remember that i lived in such a country, and i am so pleased it was, i came here alone, and without a family, without parents, this was very new for me, but now i think to myself that i am a very smart , strong girl who can live alone,

without parents and build a good future for herself. every day we experience a million emotions. we can be happy, angry, surprised, sad. sometimes our emotions are beyond our control. and music, music expresses our emotions much more powerfully. this emotional force literally takes us by the soul; once it has entered

us, it becomes an integral puzzle of life. after all, the secret of music is that it finds an inexhaustible source of expression where speech

falls silent, music instead of a thousand words. the quality of the recording, the technical performance, brutal motives mixed with harsh electric bass, freedom, deep lyrics and the energy of youth, which encourages you to move forward towards your goals, all this is about heavy music, yes, you heard right, we are at a metal festival, where we will talk about all the intricacies of this movement in belarus. and also destroy common stereotypes. alina nevoina is with you and this is a fashion for culture. heavy music appeared in belarus in the second half of the last century. in the two thousand years there was a new dawn. belarusian groups appeared performing in both belarusian, russian and english . at the moment, only in minsk, the capital of belarus, can

an overwhelming number be identified. rock music has grown in popularity to the point that it now consists of numerous types and dozens of subgenres. let's take a closer look at such a genre as metal, it has a fairly large number of styles from relatively soft ones, such like, for example, classical metal, and very heavy ones, black metal or grand core, and metal fans themselves are called metalheads or metalheads, so for all fans of heavy music in our country , openair festivals are organized, for example, the cerberus metal festival, which brings together fans of heavy music from all over the country, we’ll find out right now what the organizers will surprise with this year. denis, hello, good afternoon, let’s first figure out which is correct, metal or metal?

well, these are anglicisms, there really isn’t any correct variant in the russian-speaking segment, so the main thing here is probably just to have one letter l, because this is not a material, but a genre of music, and that’s what people essentially say in english. differently. you are one of the organizers. festival, this is already the fourth festival, tell us what you will surprise connoisseurs of heavy music with today? well, we have a two-day event, that is, the first day is for rock, alternative, lighter, casual genres of rock music, the second is heavier, so people will get to know each other, usually as a rule this is not done, those people who only go to heavy genres, they can inevitably go to lighter, so to speak, groups of things, so as a rule , with such moments, so to speak, they unite different ones.. .and a little audience. belarusian musicians and groups take part in the festival. tell us what criteria were used to select you? first of all, the band must have a full lineup, this is very important for the sound. next, we ask you to send it to us so that they can send it to us audio-video materials so that we can check the quality. and we simply

select the rest to make it interesting how many subscribers people already have there; this plays little role. and how difficult it is to organize this kind of festival in general, because it involves not one or 10 people, it’s quite large. team, well, it all depends on the scale of the event that the organizer wants to hold, it’s probably more difficult to start here, that is, if you do it for some more local events, where there are 50-60 people, then it’s not very difficult, you just need to have some connections with yourself, create them yourself, that is, find a club , fill in some dates, find groups, some kind of independent advertising you can do for yourself on social networks, and you will gather someone in the weight of the group, bring people , but if you try to do it, chase quality, so that... very good sound, that is, this is no longer a local club, but already negotiate some kind of rentals with record labels, then here yes, here you already need to ride, here you already need to travel, so it

’s possible to do it alone, well, it’s possible, of course, i’ve known people like that people, but in general, of course, it’s better to work in a team, these are, first of all, non-commercial events, often, it’s all love, an idea , as a rule, people come to this from the category, well, if not me, then it turns out no one, but in the end it turns out, that this is not so little, that is, people do it, people... love it, they do it, no matter how tired they are, they still do it, because then you see this result, how people meet, communicate, fall in love , it's cool. metal musicians pay special attention not only to sound, but also to lyrics, i know that you have two musical projects and you also write music and lyrics yourself, this is still very rare today, but if you imagine a situation that someday you will have to, for example, change... the music or the same lyrics, you will go for is this or will you still follow your call, your style? well, firstly, i don’t really think that this is such a rarity, because among some kind of multi-instrumentalism, among musicians, this is often the case, and as for changing something, i already play in too many genres, that

is, this not any specific one always, it’s a crossover in any case, if i do something easier, then there’s still a lot of stuff there, so changing something, which is what it is, but i don’t see the point, i don’t think anything will change even with. because this is not something so narrowly focused, but what topics do you mainly reflect in your texts? well, themes like vocals - here, as a rule, they are hostage to the genre, so here the music is lighter, there is alternative rock, some kind of post-punk, then of course the theme of love definitely prevails, and if heavier, then well, those are more yes, maybe there are some depressive ones in metal, not uncommon , but this is... an outlet for emotions in the first place, like scream therapy, when people scream, they usually scream not the best things, but in this there is something, it’s just interesting to know about extreme vocals, because they can be different, incredibly different, it’s really a lot of techniques, maybe the average listener can’t

hear it, at first glance, and seems like an ordinary scream, but if you just scream incorrectly, then you won't scream for a long time, that's why it's there certain techniques, of course, and there really are a lot of them, but they are also often hostages of the genre. denis, there is an opinion that musicians who perform heavy music are informal and not entirely organized, yes, destroy this stereotype, is this really so? this is music, first of all, music can be listened to by completely different people, so it’s not worth burdening it in any way, but often these listeners of heavy music are well-read, interesting people, in most cases, as a rule, the more extreme, the heavier the music they listen to, the more they love, study, and there, as a rule , there really is a love for some interesting stories there, often, that is, these are usually well-read people, most with good jobs, but there are different ones, of course, there are always exceptions, but in general, that they are somehow... untidy and so on

, even closer to thirty, i notice a completely evenly proportional history, heavy music has its own listeners, that’s what you think today you can surprise the modern listener, after all, he is overly sophisticated, he has already seen a lot, heard a lot, i don’t think that it’s all , because even if you look into the history of metal music before the 2000s, there is still too much interesting, unplowed field, so it’s better for a new listener to even look ... pay attention to old music, everything is always cyclical here, everyone will return to it, but how has heavy music changed in general over the past decade? well , there are certain changes, it has become more complicated from the technical side, the mathematical approach, that is, in this regard yes, musically, of course, it’s not very easy to somehow surprise now, so the approach becomes more complicated, there are more strings, the string becomes thicker, the sound becomes better, higher quality, cleaner, everyone is trying to somehow surprise precisely... with how difficult it is to learn their songs, like

morse code, you can say in this way. denis, what, in your opinion, is the task of music and the musician himself, as a guide to this world? music is, so to speak, a control panel for your emotions, it is impossible to be very sad under some kind of positively kind music, just like how to enjoy life is subtal, so when you turn on certain genres, you want to experience, to be in a certain state for the next 3-4 minutes, that is, his task is also to give the emotions that you yourself want to experience, and the musician to give them, try to express, convey them, because you experience it yourself, you yourself are inspired, you feel something, this music is, in general, just a universal language of emotions, nothing more, why in your opinion, but people, listeners come to this kind of festivals, what they want to get it by listening to heavy music , well, first of all, this is a club of interests, that is, there are people here... who also love this music, so to speak, the ice

is melting right away, people get to know each other, communicate, and this is also, of course, emotional a rock concert, it's loud, it's emotions, it's scream therapy, first of all, it's a lot of emotions, it's drive, music of metal genres is widespread in almost all countries, but the largest scenes have formed in northern europe and north america, in all european countries, including belarus and russia, there are developed regional scenes, just like in brazil or japan, but in the middle east, with the exception of israel and turkey, heavy horn is less developed due to censorship restrictions. vladislav, hello, hello, you are a participant in the metal festival, and this is not your first experience of participation, tell us how difficult it is in general... music appeared in your

life and why does it attract you so much? this music appeared in my life back in my school years, more so in high school, what attracted me was most likely the energy, pressure, presentation musicians, how they play, at that moment i just saw one video, like when a classmate showed me about a drummer, where he did incredible things, and i gradually began to become infected with this, and how would you... characterize the style, in which you play, the metal direction, the rock direction, it’s quite large, it diverges into different branches, and under the genres, i ’ll take something from there, something else somewhere, that’s how a certain style is, so that i ’m in played him, i would say that this is not an entirely true statement, sometimes i even interested in other instrumental music, even more than some kind of jazz or blues. dram & base, that

sort of thing. you play in a group, you perform your own music, or there are carpets. we have original material, mostly, ah, but a little bit, ah, we, carpets that we like, we also perform them. what about education, or are most metal musicians still self-taught? most of them will probably be self-taught, but i just started my path, so to speak. even with buckets, i once tried to perform on stage, i i felt a response from people, some definite support and continued to do this, but then naturally i ran into... also some kind of wall , i couldn’t go beyond some certain limits, so i decided to find for myself, well, a teacher , if we consider classical music, everything is clear and strict there, but is there a place for experiments in heavy music , and yes, there is, this is quite an interesting question, because even if

you take classical music and translate it to an electric guitar, it will be very difficult to listen to , there is performers who are just recording a whole orchestra, it’s such an influx of energy, emotions, you can experiment in very different ways, including mixing different genres, but the simple difference will probably be in the presentation of the material itself, for you, as for a musician it is important to play music that you like, or that others like, it is important for me that i like the music, i play... what i don’t like, what i don’t need, but i can just hit a certain wall and go no further progress, and this will not cause so much interest, any specific emotions, any creative person has his own muse or muses, that’s what inspires

you personally, as was the case in the first question, i touched on this topic a little, what impressed me was one drumming very hard. and there are two idols that i single out for myself, these would be leikosa and eric irota, do you agree that today heavy music and in general this metal movement is getting younger? definitely, but because now there are no those frameworks, those restrictions that were before, let’s say some incredible speeds, let’s say, some techniques have already begun to be achieved. were invented and so on, and thanks to this, new specific genres appeared. so, what are the distinctive features inherent in metal in comparison with other genres of rock music? in metal music you need to be more technically savvy, this is often faster music. is it true that musicians in your industry have

stage names? so, we got used to the tradition that musicians have pseudonyms, because it's easier to even remember some that may stand out from some other musicians and so on. contrary to popular stereotypes, heavy music not only does not lead to depression, but has a positive effect on mental health. british experts came to these conclusions after conducting numerous studies in this area. people who like heavy metal tend to have a brighter sound. and interesting youth, they are more socially active. metalworkers have no difficulty in establishing communication with different categories of people. in addition, listening to heavy music has a positive effect on social adaptation skills. however, if the heavy direction of rock culture does not bring you

satisfaction, then positive changes in your life are not expected. it’s not enough to just listen to music, it’s important to be there. on the same wavelength, energetic, she sings of love, honesty and kindness, this is not just music, this is a whole life, listen to different music, always choose only the best, and also follow fashion trends in our cultural life countries, alina neboyna was with you, remember, being cultural is fashionable, see you in
