I am considering changing my major from mathematics to music industry. What kind of jobs are available in the field? Would sound engineer/music producer be within that field? I would love to work for a recording company as the person behind the audio board conducting the recordings. Also, as I have asked a few times thus far, what other jobs are available in the field? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry…the music industry is in the toilet due to the economy…..

There are thousand and thousands of talented, experience people on the street due to the economy…the competition for any job is extreme. …people will do anything for much less just to feed their kids……..I don’t expect it to get any better before 2012……

Trivium and Slipknot are new age heavy metal bands who have made their own indelible footprints in the rock music field. Unique music styles set them apart from other heavy metal exponents.

Slipknot was formed in the state of Iowa in 1995 and the band came to international limelight with its first album, the Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat, in 1996. The theme of the songs depicted anger and frustration. It became an immediate hit as it empathized with the mindset of younger generation. New music styles combined with newer and forceful themes provided for the instant success of the album.

If the first album gave visibility to the band, the second one, titled Slipknot itself, put the band in the stratosphere. It was released in 1999 and was marketed nationally and internationally by Roadrunner Records, the music record giant of our times. The album acquired platinum status too. Vol 3 (The Sublimal Verses) came out as the third album from Slipknot and sales were highly satisfactory. The fourth album, produced in 2005 and came under the name 9.0 Live, is the last offering from Slipknot. Now the band is releasing the next album, which, it seems from promotional releases, is one step ahead of its older releases in uniqueness. Here, melody is mated to heavy metal to form a heady mix.

The band takes great pains to make their albums worthy to its name. The huge gaps between different releases help increase content quality and also customer curiosity. The marketing relationship between the band and Roadrunner Records still stand. The band was earlier known as The Pale Ones, Meld and Pyg System before assuming the current name.

Trivium albums are second to none in the heavy metal music arena. The band, based in Orlando, Florida is sometimes referred to as the king of heavy metal. They have released four albums so far, in addition to ten single songs and several music videos. The first album was a demo record, recorded and released in 2003. The second title produced in 2004, Ascendancy, put the band amongst the top players in the field. Some songs in the album got into chart toppers list too, and the music industry honchos were very forthcoming in their praise to the band.

The album was re-released in 2006 after adding four more records to the already popular numbers. The last album from Trivium stables came out in October 2008 by the name Shogun, has earned a lot of interest, and sales volumes are also great.

Rock Music industry has become richer with the conception of such bands like Trivium and Slipknot. They have given an additional means of entertainment to the masses yearning for something new and varied. The huge fan following of these bands make sure that newer avenues of heavy metal music still exist to be explored and brought out.

Me and my friend are really good singers together and we want to record a cd, any ideas how we can get into the music industry?
me and my best friend are very interested in music and we love to write stupid lyrics and we wanted to get serious about it, any ideas on how to get into the music industry?

Well, you could to go college for that… Take song-writing, learn about this and that, and then you’ll be able to pull from what you’ve learned to make better music, not only that, you could still make the same music you make now, just much faster. However, to get into something like that, you have to know someone first… It’s all about networking… start to get to know anyone and everyone in the music business, weather you’re in classical, opera, or a band… It’s all about knowing people to do you favors.
