Woman Who Withheld Cancer Medication From Autistic Son, Killing Him, Won't Face Retrial
5:01 AM PDT, September 1, 2016 - Inside Edition
A Massachusetts mother who withheld her autistic son's cancer medication prior to his death will not face a retrial after pleading guilty to attempted murder this week.
Kristen LaBrie is a free woman after changing her plea in the death of her son, Jeremy Fraser.
The 44-year-old was found guilty of the charge in 2011 along with charges of assault and battery and reckless child endangerment.
Read: A Caring Barber Lies on Floor to Give Haircut to 4-Year-Old Autistic Boy
After five years in prison, LaBrie's trial lawyer was found to have provided an ineffective defense, and she was released in April.
That retrial will not happen. The prosecutor recommended Wednesday that Labrie be sentenced to time served and the judge agreed, reports CBS Boston.
In 2009, LaBrie's son was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 7.
LaBrie argued that she withheld his cancer medication after she claimed the side effects became so intense that she feared the drugs would kill him.

"Justice has been served today with the defendant admitting her guilt," Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett told reporters following the hearing.
LaBrie did not speak to reporters Wednesday. Her attorney said the weight of her actions will always stay with his client.
"She's going to have to live with this for the rest of her life," attorney John Morris said.

30/01/2023 - 15:56 Lego disney Lego news New LEGO 2023
The LEGO BrickHeadz range will be expanded from March 1, 2023 with three new references under Disney license with two-character packs, the first visuals of which are now available via the service which allows download instructions in digital format:
Lego BrickHeadz 40619 EVE & WALL•E (155 pieces - 14.99 €)
Lego BrickHeadz 40620 Cruella de Vil & Maleficent (320 pieces - 19.99 €)
Lego BrickHeadz 40621 Moana (Moana) & Merida (410 pieces - 19.99 €)
While waiting for the release of these three boxes on the official store, which should not be long, we can predict without too much error that the reference 40619 EVE & WALL•E will be a hit even with those who don't usually buy these cubic figurines.
30/01/2023 - 11:23 Lego marvel Lego news Lego super heroes Lego magazines New LEGO 2023
The February 2023 issue of the Official LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Magazine is now available on newsstands and, as advertised, you can obtain the Miles Morales minifigure already seen in the sets 76171 Miles Morales Mech et 76178 Daily Bugle.
We discover in the pages of this new magazine sold 6.99 € the figurine which will be delivered with the next issue scheduled for April 27, 2023: it is Green Goblin, a minifig seen identically in the set 76219 Spider-Man & Green Goblin launched in April 2022 at a public price of €19.99 and already removed from the LEGO catalog. The character will be accompanied by his flying board and two explosive pumpkins.
30/01/2023 - 11:06 Lego harry potter Lego news New LEGO 2023
The LEGO DOTS range is not completely buried and we discover today via the application which includes the digital instructions of the official products the reference 41809 Hedwig Pencil Holder. The box of 518 pieces which will be sold at the public price of 19.99 € will make it possible to assemble a pencil holder vaguely taking the shape of Hedwig.
At first glance, the product does not contain anything specific to the Harry Potter universe, apart from the logo on the box. We also know that two other references from the LEGO DOTS range under official Harry Potter license are in principle planned (41808 & 41811).
30/01/2023 - 09:36 LEGO Certified Stores LEGO Ideas Lego stores New LEGO 2023
If you want to have your copy of the LEGO Ideas set autographed 21338 A-Frame Cabin (179.99 €), know that the fan designer Andrea Lattanzio (Norton74) will be present at the LEGO Certified Store in Grenoble on February 1, 2023 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. as well as at the LEGO Store in Nice on February 4, 2023 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. not take into account the schedule indicated above).
The two dates were not chosen by chance, February 1 being the date of the launch of the product in VIP preview and February 4 is the date of "global" availability of the set. We do not yet know if a promotional offer will make it easier to pass the pill of the public price of the product and if it will be valid in the Certified Stores, these franchised shops managed by the Italian company Percassi like that of Grenoble. No VIP program in Grenoble.
29/01/2023 - 19:37 In my opinion... LEGO Star Wars New LEGO 2023 Reviews
We continue today with a quick overview of the contents of the LEGO Star Wars set 75350 Clone Commander Cody Helmet, a box of 766 pieces which will be available from March 1, 2023 at the retail price of €69.99 and which is already available for pre-order on the official online store.
As for the helmet of the set 75349 Captain Rex Helmet which will be marketed at the same time as this one, the LEGO-style interpretation of the accessory worn by this second character was eagerly awaited by fans of the animated series The Clone Wars. Cody, or CC-224, is a much-loved Clone Officer, so his arrival on the shelves of those who have grown or aged with the show's seven seasons is welcome news.
As with Rex's helmet, fans will immediately recognize the owner of this helmet where others may see it as just another Clone Trooper. The small pad-printed presentation plate may therefore seem superfluous to some, but it will be useful to others. I haven't changed my mind on this specific point since the launch of this range of derivative products in 2020: I think that the huge logo of the LEGO Star Wars range present on these plates is a bit superfluous or at least too prominent.
The aesthetic approximations are once again numerous and even if the general look of the product leaves no doubt on the subject treated, it will be necessary to accommodate these adjustments imposed by the format of this range of derived products.
It is also especially at the level of the lower edge of the helmet that things get a little tricky with stacks of parts that struggle to embody the curves and angles of the object. The top of the product is more faithful even if we find the inevitable dome based on stairs and visible tenons that we can choose to consider as the signature of this range or as an aesthetic shortcut that lacks finish.
The assembly process offers some interesting techniques that allow to obtain the final result and we do not get bored except perhaps for the first few steps which give the impression of building the heart of a large figure in Brickheadz format .
We even take a little pleasure in then building sub-assemblies which seem completely irrelevant at the time and which then find their place on the construction, there is something very satisfying in seeing the black zone being gradually framed by the structure of the helmet over the pages.
The only moving part of the product is the side antenna attached to a Ball joint, pity that this area remains gray. We can also wonder if it would not have been wise to fill the hollow of the cheeks with darker pieces to reinforce the relief effect on these areas as is the case at the back of the helmet, it will be it may be possible to obtain an acceptable result by adjusting the lighting of the exhibition site.
Once again, this derivative product is not a top-of-the-range model which would be intended to allow a perfect replica of the helmet to be displayed, it is just a very stylized interpretation which tries to remain in the format imposed by the exercise while remaining easily identifiable. The goal is therefore achieved, Cody finally has the tribute he deserves in a range of exhibition products undoubtedly considered by LEGO as "accessible" and "affordable".
There are only 9 decals on this model, 8 less than Rex's helmet, and these decals blend in a bit better with the landscape than the ones used on the reproduction of the other Clone Officer's helmet. The background of these stickers does not match the color of the parts on which they are placed, but the surfaces here are less exposed and more reduced and we quickly forget this defect.
The two helmets exhibited together form a nice combination of derivative products which should satisfy fans, but the bill will still be steep: you will have to pay 70 € per helmet, this is the new price set by LEGO for these models of a twenty centimeters high which offer only a very short assembly experience and which are only intended to end their career on a shelf. With a little patience, it will obviously be possible to get them for much less from the usual retailers, so it's up to everyone to see if the desire takes over the potential savings.
Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at February 9, 2023 next at 23:59 p.m. Just post a comment under the article to participate. Your participation is taken into account regardless of your opinion.

We'll be taking a look at seven wire-free and one underwire plus size sports bras in this review. The grouping includes a Champion, an Enell, two by Glamorise, two by Goddess, and two from Vanity Fair, Keep in mind that this review is based on the highest rated bras at a popular, and one of my favorite, online lingerie sites.
As you know, sports bras are available in three impact categories, low, medium, and high. These categories are based on the degree of movement your sport demands. But, it doesn't stop there. Styles can come in underwire or wire-free options. And, if you've read Plus Size Sports Bras — Which Style Is Right For You?, you'll also remember that sports bras are also offered as Compression, Encapsulation, or a combination of the two. Each review indicates which type the highlighted style falls into. So sit back, relax, and let's find you a sports bra that you'll really love. And, if you're looking for the review of 10 Best Plus Size High Impact Sports Bras, you can find it here.
The single underwire in this review is an encapsulated style, #76500 by Vanity Fair. It features foam-lined cups so you'll have a smooth shape and minimal bounce.
It's available up to size 44DD and comes with convertible straps in pink with gray trim, black with gray trim, and solid white.
Fabric is a combination of nylon, polyester, and spandex.
Why consider this bra? This bra has a 3.5 star rating, but that number is a bit misleading. A couple of reviewers thought they were ordering a high impact bra, and another didn't see the lined cups mentioned in the description.
Otherwise, this pretty bra appears to be very nice, but may run a little large. Check with the fit experts before you put this lovely bra in your cart to avoid any disappointment.
Number one in this category is also by Vanity Fair. Style # 71500 has foam-lined encapsulation cups. It's a pretty bra with rigid front straps that adjust in the back and can be converted to crisscross style.
Made of nylon, polyester and spandex. With nine reviews, this bra has a 5 star rating.
Why consider this bra? Hands down, all of the reviewers called this bra comfortable and excellent fitting. Who could ask for more? You! Besides running true to size, women who buy this bra also buy it for daily wear and own more than one.
Number two is offered by Enell. This very popular style is Style #101-5-8, and comes in European sizing. This range in US sizing would be from 42DDD to 52DDD.
This model has a front closure, compression fit style, and features inner cup slings for support. The design also includes wide, close-set straps to ensure an excellent stay-put fit.
Made of nylon and spandex, this moisture-wicking fabric will add to your sense of comfort. This model is available in black, white, beige, and pink.
Why consider this bra? With 10 reviews, this bra has a 4.5 star rating. Most reviewers found this bra very supportive. Remember, it's rated for medium impact. Some even used it as the bra they wore while recovering from surgery. One reviewer felt that the cup slings help to separate the breasts and help give nice contours.
Number three is style #GD6910 by Goddess. This compression fit bra offers padded shoulder straps that prevent irritating shoulder discomfort. It's available up to size 48I.
Made of nylon, spandex, and polyester, this model is available in white with gray trim and black with red trim. This Goddess has been give 4+ stars by 10 reviewers.
Why consider style GD6910? Reviewers agree that this bra keeps your breasts in place with very little movement. And, even though this bra is rated medium impact, one reviewer gave it 5 stars after running a ½ marathon.
This bra gets a lot of love from it's reviewers, with many already owning more than one and others planning to add more to their sports bra collection very soon.
Number four by Champion is style #1602. Thin foam cups help you maintain your shape in this compression style bra. The comfort front straps are back adjustable, and the mesh inset in the front of the bra give a nice effect. It will also lend to the cooling effect of the polyester and spandex fabric.
This bra also has an inner pad lining of Polyurethane Film and the padding on the straps is made of silicone.
This Champion is available in black, white, heather gray, and a pretty multi blue combination. It has a 4+ star rating by 32 reviewers.
Why consider this bra? Comfort. Reviewers rave about how comfortable this bra is. They wear it not only for sports, but as a daily wear bra as well as a sleep bra. Most reviewers give it high marks for its level of support.
A few found that it can run a bit small. Check with your fit expert before placing your order.
Number five is by Glamorise. This model comes in sizes from 34C to size 50J. Model #1066 is a combination encapsulated and compression style. The front of the bra features mesh insets that allow for breathability.
Made of polyester, nylon and elastane, this moisture-wicking fabric will help keep you cooler and more comfortable.
This bra also comes in a larger than usual color selection. It's available in black with pink trim, blue with black trim, solid beige, solid white, and gray with a pink and gray multi trim.
This model has been given a 4 star rating by 170 reviewers.
Why consider this bra? This bra is comfortable and gives good coverage and support. It also has a high neckline so it works great as a tank or camisole under other clothing.
This bra gets a lot of love from most of the reviewers. Those who gave it less than a 5-star rating did so because of special fitting issues and not for problems with the bra itself.
Number 6 is a compression style made by Goddess. Style #GD6911 has padded comfort front adjustable straps, and double layer anti-microbial cups.
It comes in sizes up to size 48I.
Available in a polyester, nylon, and elastane blend, your color choices include light gray with pink trim, and dark gray with turquoise trim.
Eleven reviewers have given this bra a 4 star rating.
Why consider the Goddess 6911? The reviewers call this an awesome, supportive, very comfortable bra. One reviewer even commented she's never been able to go to the gym wearing just one bra before. This model provides her with all the support she needs and wants in a sports bra.
One reviewer gave this bra a lower rating because she needed something with a high level, not medium level of support. However, other reviewers gave this bra high marks for performance while participating in high impact activities.
Number 7 is Glamorise, model #1067. This compression style features mesh insets in the front and back strap areas along with comfort front straps with adjustable stretchy back straps.
The fabric is a combination of polyester, nylon, and elastane. The high neckline style comes in solid black and a black and white multi-print with black trim and black mesh insets .
This style can also be worn as a tank or camisole under other clothing. It's available in sizes up to size 50H. It has been given 4 stars by 10 reviewers.
Why consider this Glamorise? It's comfy, it fits well, is supportive, and the black and white multi- print is just too cute. This happens to be my go-to bra. Like several other reviewers, I'm in the process of ordering a couple more of this style.
Of course, fit is a personal thing, but I wear mine as daily wear too. It's just that comfortable!
I hope this listing has given you some good options for your next sports bra. It's not meant to cover everything available at this point in time. However, they are popular brands, and can be found at a number of retailers. Just search for the brand and style number.
Woooooow the Glamorise, model #1067, is definitely my favorite. I watched the YouTube video and was just mesmerized. Just take a look at the stability of her busts during her workout. They barely even move. The comfort she must be feeling is something only women can understand.
I agree with your reaction to Glamorise #1067. It's not only great for workouts, but for all day wear as well. And, you'll find a link now that will take you to Glamorise. Happy shopping!
Thanks so much for the kind comments. Glamorise #1067 is my favorite too, and the all-day comfort can't be beat. And, no, there isn't a link there yet. That will be coming in the near future. So glad the video helped too.

Sabaudiae, et Burgundiae Comitatus Descriptio.
This is a rare 1579 Abraham Ortelius map of Burgundy (Bourgogne), France. Centered on Lake Geneva, Ortelius' map covers from Lyon, France to La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland and from Vesoul to Rivoli, Italy. The modern region of Haute-Savoie and the neighboring department of Savoie were, until 1860, part of the Kingdom of Sardinia. The color coding in this map depicts the territorial boundaries of the time. The region of Burgundy in France is famed for producing the world's finest wines. The map features a decorative title cartouche in the lower left quadrant. Shows the region in wonderful detail with attention to forests, cities, lakes, rivers, villages and other topographical features. Cartographically based on the map by Boileau de Bouillion, this map was published in Antwerp by A. Ortelius in 1579 for issue in his seminal atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum.

Cardi B's 2018 AMAs Performance of 'I Like It' Did Not Disappoint
By Zoe Weiner
Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images
[Cardi B](https://www.glamour.com/about/cardi-b took the stage at the 2018 American Music Awards for her first televised performance since the birth of her daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, and she did not disappoint.
The rapper hit the stage with Bad Bunny and J Balvin for a crowd-pumping performance of "I Like It," and, well, we loved it. For the performance Cardi rocked a gorgeous multicolor dress accessorized with knee-high boots and pom-pom underwear (as you do). She began the song lying on a circular, spinning disc before standing up and removing her skirt to reveal a formfitting bodysuit. She then danced it out alongside dozens of backup dancers in blue, green, and red ensembles. By the end of the performance, everyone in the audience was on their feet, and the trio received a standing ovation.
Before her energetic performance—which also entailed bike riding—Cardi, alongside husband Offset, walked the red carpet wearing a showstopping Dolce & Gabbana floral gown and matching headpiece.
Cardi was nominated for eight awards at Tuesday night's ceremony, including new artist of the year and favorite rap/hip-hop artist (which she already picked up prior to performing). During her acceptance speech, she took the opportunity to thank her daughter, Kulture. "I really want to thank my daughter. And not just because she's my daughter," she said. "When I was pregnant, I was so influenced to be, like, 'Yo, I got to do this, I got to show people wrong. I got to prove people wrong.' Because they said I wasn't going to make it after I had a baby."
The rapper welcomed her first child with husband Offset in July, and famously said that she would not get back onstage for anything less than $300,000 if it meant leaving her daughter at home. "I'm 25 years old," she told the hosts of Hot 97's Ebro in the Morning back in April. "I'ma say this in the most humblest way: I'm a millionaire. I'm established. The industry is never promised, but I know that if I make the right money moves, I'm gonna always have money."
Needless to say, we're glad the 2018 AMAs felt like the right "money move" for Cardi B.

Recently Vatican has promoted Bishop Marampudi Joji of Vijaywada as the Archbishop of Hyderabad to succeed Archbishop Arulappa. Bishop Joji is a dalit bishop from Andra Predesh. In India, there are 156 bishops in the Catholic church which has a population of 25 million. Except 6 bishops, the rest of them are coming from the upper caste community. Even these six bishops were appointed very recently by Vatican through the pressure given by 20 million dalit Christians of India who form 75% of the total Catholic population. Yet in the Indian catholic church, both in the hierarchy and in the structure, dalit Christians have no place at all. The whole Catholic structure has been invaded by the upper caste community. Vatican was totally ignorant of this fact. It is only recently that the upper caste bishops unwillingly recommended six dalit priests as bishops in order to yield to the pressure of the dalit Christians. Generally Vatican accepted candidates proposed by the bishops in India but Vatican was totally ignorant of the fact that caste played the crucial role in the recommendation of the bishops. For example: In Tamilnadu, out of 16 bishops, only three are dalit bishops.
Now the appointment of a dalit bishop as the archbishop of Hyderabad has irritated both Arulappa, the upper caste bishop who is retiring after a lengthy period. The upper caste clergy and the people are furious over Vatican for promoting a dalit to a metropolitan area. One has to remember that in Andra Predesh, 85% of the Catholics are dalits. Yet dalits are not respected. The remarks of Arulappa betrays his caste fanaticism with which he ruled over his diocese all these years. He goes to the extent of condemning the decision of Vatican for promoting a dalit as an Archbishop for the first time. He has already set timeline that Joji would not even last in Hyderabad for five years. Above all these, he has accused the dalit bishop Joji that he would work only for dalits. Is it not the reflection of his own strategy by which he has been supporting his own caste men and women during his tenure?
In fact, Arulappa was himself not a native of Andra Predesh. He hails from Velacherry, Tamilnadu, from the archdiocese of Madras. He was an ordinary priest in the parish of Veperi. But he was directly promoted as the archbishop of Hyderabad. The only criteria for him was that he was an upper caste priest, belonging to the Naidu community. He was recommended by another upper caste bishop, Mark Gopu, a Reddi from Thatchoor to continue the caste lineage. Although Arulappa was an outsider, the people of Andra Predesh accepted him as their Bishop. Now Joji, a native of Andra Predesh is appointed to succeed him. All the more, Joji is the first dalit archbishop appointed by Vatican in India. Vatican is at least realising her mistakes of the past and correcting her ways. Instead of welcoming bishop Joji to the diocese, Archbishop Arulappa and his upper caste group are maneuvering the situation. Is it not hypocrisy on the part of Arulappa to have lived all his life with this kind of deep caste mentality? Is he not betraying his own Indian bishops who declared that caste discrimination is denial of Christianity and inhuman? It is tragedy that bishop Arulappa could not digest the fact of a dalit becoming as his successor. Was he truly a representative of Christ during his tenure as the bishop of Hyderabad? Was he merely an hypocrite, perpetuating caste mentality within the church? This is only a sample of larger issues with which the Indian church is struggling with. It reveals the fact how caste plays a vital role in the Catholic church of India. It indicates how the dalit Christians have been suffering martyrdom all these years in their own churches. Even during this Jubilee year, on 23rd January 2000, the Catholic Bishops Conference of India asked every Christian to eradicate untouchability and caste mentality which is a sinful reality". Yet the shepherd sets a bad example for his flock to follow the footsteps of Jesus in our daily life. If so, how can the kingdom of God will flourish in country that has several million non-Christians?

Q: How to hide progress bars in PCManFM 1.2.5? I am having some problem with the PCManFM on my Lubuntu 18.04LTS. The "Copying Files" progress bar always appears on top of the viewer so everytime I want to navigate through the files I need to move it out the way, it won't let me hide it without hiding the viewer. I have my own reason that I need to search through the files while transfering files via FTP.
Since I don't have much experience with linux I don't know if there is any command or scripts that can do the job eventhough I would like to learn more about it. If it is just the nature of this FM I might consider changing to another lightweight one.

A: First, ensure you have more than one virtual desktop:

Second, make a safe backup of ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml and then edit the original using a plain text editor such as leafpad, as follows:
Go to the bottom of this file. The last two lines should be:
  </applications>
</openbox_config>

Now, just above the line containing </applications>, paste in the following:
<application class="Pcmanfm" name="pcmanfm" title="Copying files" type="dialog">
  <desktop>2</desktop>
</application>

Observe the indentations in use (for aesthetic reasons).
Then, scroll up a few more lines and you should see:
    <!--
        Lubuntu specific :
        Focus all applications launched
        Usefull when launching applications, like terminal from pcmanfm
   -->
    <application class="*">
      <focus>yes</focus>
    </application>

Cut the "-->" from its existing position and paste it immediately below
    <application class="*">
      <focus>yes</focus>
    </application>

In other words, you've commented out three lines which interfere with the code we've inserted earlier.
Save the file. If you used a plain text editor, the file type will be unaffected. If you use something else like LibreOffice or Abiword, ensure you save the file as plain text with the .xml suffix.
Open a terminal and run openbox --reconfigure to register your changes. You should just get back the prompt without any pop-up.
Now, whenever the "Copy Files" window opens, it does so on Desktop 2 and not on Desktop 1 which remains in focus all the time.

The Applications section of lubuntu-rc.xml is pretty powerful and the comments in that section are very helpful.

The same fix works in LXQt-based Lubuntu 19.04 which uses pcmanfm-qt version 0.14.1.

Forefather – As we fight the Raging sea…
Last of the Line, the 6th full-length release by England's Forefather, isn't your typical folk/black metal affair that piles on the tongue-in-cheek silliness often propagated by the overtaxed and overpopulated genre, for I haven't heard such sharp/smart melody lines and passionate singing in ages. Upon experiencing a track from this album that someone posted on Facebook, I was instantly hooked and sought after all this band had to offer. Forefather's power lies in their amazing songwriting skills. Mighty hooks that never feel cheap or contrived, are effortlessly lifted by a crisp guitar tone and equally smart riffs. There is a unique atmosphere to this material that somehow withstands modern production techniques, to allow the listener to fantasize about ancient times, ushering them back through the years by way of melodious harmonies and brave pitch singing. You can almost feel the sea spray on your cheeks as the chorus from "The Downfallen" swirls it's memorable refrain deep into your consciousness. It is this world building musical magic that sets Forefather apart from other, often more popular acts. For this reason, I had to reach out to the band for more of a glimpse into their processes and history. Athelstan was kind enough to unlock some of the mysteries for us all. -Marty
Greetings Athelstan! Many thanks for setting some time aside for this interview. There is a strong cohesiveness and focus that spins throughout all of the Forefather releases… like we are experiencing the culmination of your life's body of work as you the artist realize and refine it. What does Forefather mean to you?
I don't think we've reached a culmination yet. I always feel we can do better, but I do agree we've grown and improved and got much closer to something we feel satisfied with. There is a strong vision we have for Forefather which is difficult to describe, but it definitely keeps us on the right track, and like you say, focused on what we need to do. Forefather is obviously very important to me (how could it not be to spend all this time on it!). It's my creation and I'm one of those people who feel the need to leave something of worth in the world after I'm gone.
Having shared this journey with your brother, does the meaning go beyond what one would expect from a typical band dynamic?
I think so yes. The strong vision will override certain aspects of the whole "band" thing. It's totally about the music and the idea, so the usual distractions which may lead another band off course won't affect with us. Forefather definitely feels like more than a just band, though it's difficult to describe exactly what it is. I suppose it's the closest thing we have to a religion.
I think I heard the leadoff track from Last of the Line on a Facebook post and was instantly taken with it. Through the course of 2 months, I tracked down and obtained all of your releases. You have such a unique and keen ear for melody that is powerful and infectious. Even though the older material is quality, there is still has an aura of a band trying to find and maintain its full potential. Would you agree with this statement and when you look back on your past works, how would you describe Forefather's journey as songwriters?
I agree that when you look back on the earlier albums there is obviously a lot of good stuff there; great melodies and ideas though in some areas it wasn't quite "there" (mainly in production only). On the last two albums we've definitely been a lot more satisfied with the end product. I think we've always been pretty good at song writing right from the beginning, but we've got better at squeezing more out of the songs in the latter production stages.
For me, "Steadfast" was in a lot of ways a breakthrough album where melody, song structure, production, and amazing riffs all aligned to create something that is in a class far loftier than the "pagan or folk metal" tag often used to classify the band. It's like the foundation was finally complete and steadfast if you will (sorry…. couldn't resist!) for the next phase of the band. As a songwriter and musician, did you feel like all the years of hard work and creativity was in a place you wanted it? Being the first release on your own label, do you think it received the exposure you hoped for?
I agree with your summation. I think we were a lot less restrained on that album and threw a lot of energy into it. You can hear that when you listen to it – it sounds pretty intense, maybe a bit too intense sometimes. It did feel like we'd started a new era, partly because there'd been quite a big gap between it and the previous album "Ours is the Kingdom". I actually feel that "Last of the Line" is more of the foundation. Steadfast was the storm that shook things up, and it settled into the new "groove" with LOTL. I certainly feel more comfortable now, like we've reached the kind of place we wanted to get to, and now we can expand it more. It's getting more exposure now via the USA version on MetalHit, which is a good thing as we had quite a limited promotion plan when we released it in December. We were mainly interested in getting the thing finished!
With Last of the Line, Forefather is hitting its stride taking everything great found on Steadfast, and expanding on it. Sharper guitar tone. Soaring melodies. Piercing chorus'. As you have built up your own studio and songwriting vocabulary, is this era of the band where you always envisioned it? How has the album been received and where do you go from here?
Yes I think we've got a good framework to build on now and we're more comfortable in our songwriting system. Plus we've finally just about learnt to tame the beast of music technology! I fully intend to produce something better than both the last two albums next time around, which is what we always aim to do. Last of the Line has been largely very well received and taken as a mature step forward. You always have the usual types who don't understand it of course, plus this time there seems to be a Steadfast contingient who have decided that it can't be topped. Where we go from here is towards the next album, which we have a lot of music written for.
Lyrically, Forefather is a proud upholder of English history which is something that used to be a unique theme for a band from your country when you started. Where does this pride stem from? Your upbringing? Your personal exploration of historical events? What is it about the past that calls you back? For myself, the ways of life and quality of life were probably more difficult, but it all meant so much more to those that had to work hard to survive. There was more honor. Less complacency. Less apathy. Everyday was greeted with a new sense of purpose…
I agree with the sense of purpose thing. I'm not very suited to this world where we all just have fun and party. It seems pointless. You need to have struggled to appreciate the good times. There was certainly more room for honour in those times as it was essential to survival. You had to know who you could trust and bonds of kin especially were therefore very important. Our attraction to English history is a long story, but it started proper in our late teens from a sense that we weren't really being allowed to be proud of being English, and this went against our instinctive feelings. So that naturally led us to look more into the matter and discover more about the history of our land and fellow countrymen. At the same time we started the band and it was the perfect theme which hadn't been touched on much before in metal (at that time). I suppose our sense of English pride must just have developed naturally through upbringing, but it was not ever mentioned as an important issue, until more recent, politically correct times.
Having said that, do you see there as being any hope for the future? Future of England? The future of mankind?
I have to admit it's all heading in a pretty worrying direction, but it doesn't do much good to dwell on the negative. There is potential for good and improvement and all you can do is concentrate on that and project your vision as much as you can. The way I see it is there are two types of people in the world; the ones who are happy to live their life in the world as it was offered to them in a natural way, and those who are constantly trying to manipulate the world towards their deranged world view. All problems come from these people! And they rule us at the moment! Nature knows best.
Taken from "Proud to be Proud": "Heroes passed unto ye we give hail. Mighty men without fear, without shame. Some will say that our pride is a sin. But in their name we'll unite and we're proud to be proud". Staying true to your forefathers and being proud of who you are and where you come from, in spite of what others say. How do you carry this sense of national pride with you, and how is it perceived by others you come in contact with? Has this been seen in a negative light as far as the band is concerned?
I'm not the type of person to go around shouting my thoughts from the rooftops, so I carry it mostly within, other than Forefather which is our personal expression in musical form. If someone asks me I'll tell them. Sometimes people will feel uneasy with talk of national pride as they've been programmed to believe this is a bad thing in relation to England. I can't think of any specific instances where this has been viewed negatively regarding Forefather, but maybe it was a long time ago and I forgot. Sometimes interviewers will highlight this "problem" and mention the far-right, though this was more in the early days. It seems to have died down. It was probably that song (Proud to be Proud) that caused a lot of this.
From dealing with every aspect of the band, leading to the creation of your own label, Seven Kingdoms, Forefather is very much a controlled and nurtured entity. What lead to you wanting to start the label? Fear of a corrupt music industry? Or did you just want more of a hand in what went in and came out of your releases?
After being on a bigger label from 2003-6ish and having a generally bad experience, we definitely decided we wanted control over the whole process again (from '99 to 02 we released the 1st three albums ourselves, before they were re-released later) to make sure we could be happy with the final product, as there were many things that bugged us. We're meticulous about every detail on the albums we make, right down to the copyright blurb and every word in the booklet. Promises weren't kept and it left us feeling like there was a mess that needed to be cleared up. We wanted to put an album out and feel satisfied with it. It felt like Forefather was too important to trust to someone else, especially a record label!
How has this desire to carry the financial burden yourselves effected the band? I'm sure it has been a learning experience, but have the successes and pride of ownership made this more of a personal victory? Should the right label come along, is there any desire to take some of the workload off your hands?
It's satisfying to be in control of everything, but a lot of work, especially if you want to do a good job on promotion and distribution. Inevitably these aspects will suffer on self-released CDs, but it doesn't bother us too much at the moment. I've had enough time leaning and sometimes enjoying the process of releasing CDs, so if the right label came along then yes I'd gladly let them do the work. If!
Is there a wish to expand the label to align yourselves with other like minded musicians?
In the early days of Seven Kingdoms we did release a couple of CDs by other bands as we were quite motivated to do that at the time, but at the moment we are content with just managing our own affairs. It's enough effort to concentrate on your own music, and probably best to put all our energy into that. There are plenty of other labels around who can handle the many (probably too many) artists wanting to release material.
The internet has made our musical community/world seemingly smaller do to instant communication, instant gratification, and the ease of marketing. Having both a label and a band, how has this medium impacted what you do both good and bad? Many are calling for the death of CDs, or other such tangible mediums in favor of digital distribution. What are your thoughts on this and the direction music world is going?
Personally I buy CDs and haven't bought many downloads, usually because it's still cheaper to buy the CD than the download (the kind of stuff I buy anyway). But I do have a large mp3 collection (transferred from my CDs) and player which I use a lot. I think necessity will dictate what happens. I'm not one of these vinyl freaks that go on about the sound quality. The fact is it isn't practical in the world we live in. When I think of all the awful CDs that have been mass produced in factories, filling up the world with plastic waste then I think downloads are a good idea, and just small print runs for more die-hard fans is ok, which is basically what we are doing now. Seeing as we're not very prolific advertisers I can't really comment on that, but it's certainly easier to get news out there via the various websites, and it's easier to communicate directly with fans, which is good. With all this stuff available though there is a lot of chaff to wade through to see the wheat and it's very easy for anyone to start a band and have a website. That's the only negative really. Some say it's bad for musicians financially, but personally speaking I haven't really noticed that. Making a profit is not a necessity for us though. I think it's mainly bad for huge stars on major labels that are more geared to making money.
Thank you Athelstan for time and efforts! I'm honored to have Forefather as a part of the Worm Gear re-launch. Please take this time to offer your closing statement and plug your sites! Take care.
Thanks for having us! All the news can be found at forefather.net and you can get merchandise at seven-kingdoms.com. Downloads are available at the usual suspects and metalhit.com. I hope to bring you some new music in the not too distant future, but I dare not give any concrete dates (a past lesson learned!).
