 Band Website Analysis- Queens of the Stone Age

 

On the Queens website, the main colour scheme is red. Not only does this symbolise the iconic red album cover of their most popular and breakthrough album ‘Songs for the deaf’ it also depicts the colour scheme of their new album: ‘Perfecth’. The band also heavily promotes their new album with 2 links. One link takes you to a link to listen to their new song ‘Insignificant Other’ which has been released early to build hype for fans. The other link gives a release date of the album and the option to pre-order the album on vinyl. This attracts slightly older audiences with vinyl shopping but also the younger generation with the option of pre saving on apps such as amazon music and Spotify to listen digitally. Josh Homme is also front and centre of the website as the frontman surrounded by confetti to possibly celebrate the release of the new album.

Music Video Analysis

 Music Video Analysis 

November Rain- Guns n Roses

In the November Rain music video, a clear narrative structure of the video is shown of the relationship of Axl (lead singer) and his girlfriend as they get married. The narrative begins with a happy marriage between the two which then escalates into the chaotic downfall of their marriage. The chaos of the relationship mirrors the chaos of their music especially of the 80s with their hard rock riffs that defined 80s rock. The sudden death of the girlfriend and the chaos symbolise the bands transition into a more angelic beautiful songs such as Noevember Rain and Estranged which featured on the same album. 

Symphony of Destruction- Megadeth

In the music video for Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth, lots of close-up shots are used of Dave Mustaines face. This appeals to the audience as he is the frontman of the band and is the one singing. Lots of low angles are also used to possibly make Dave look more intimidating which could allude back to the original idea of heavy metal being associated with horror. Lots of quick transitions are used in the video which could possibly be used to match the quick speed of the thrash riffs. It also matches the overall beat of the song and could possibly make the song even catchier for the audience. Quite a few inserts are also used to show skaters in a park possibly alluding to the idea of rebelling and going against normal society. 

Figure it out- Royal Blood

figure it out royal blood - YouTubE 

In the music video, red and blue filters are very clearly used to see the transitions in the main characters moral circumstance. When the video goes red, she becomes the aggressor as she kills people and the red symbolises anger and rage. When the video goes blue, the girl becomes the victim, and self reflects on her actions as the blue symbolises sadness and moral ambiguity. The video also builds up an audience feeling for the girl as we see her connect with people (such as the suspected boyfriend) and connect with her on a personal level. The name of the song being lights out also shows once the lights are out, we don’t know what comes next as she leaves the area and we don't know where her morals will lead her.
