Mynett, Mark. "Contemporary metal music production." Thesis, University of Huddersfield, 2013. http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/19314/.
Full textAbstract:
Distinct challenges are posed when conveying Contemporary Metal Music’s(CMM) sounds and performance perspectives within a recorded and mixed form. CMM often features down tuned, heavily distorted timbres, alongside high tempi, fast and frequently complex subdivisions, and highly synchronised instrumentation. The combination of these elements results in a significant concentration of dense musical sound usually referred to as ‘heaviness’. The publications for this thesis present approaches, processes and techniques for capturing, presenting and accentuating heaviness, as well as intelligibility and performance precision which facilitate the listener’s clear comprehension of the frequent overarching complexity in the music’s construction. Intelligibility and performance precision are the principal requirements for a high commercial standard of CMM, and additionally can enhance a production’s sense of heaviness. This synoptic commentary defines heaviness from an ecological perspective, by highlighting invariant properties that shape the embodied experience of being human. Heaviness is primarily substantiated through displays of distortion and, regardless of the listening levels involved, the fundamentals of this identity are ecologically linked to volume, power, energy, intensity, emotionality and aggression. In addition to distortion, a vital component of heaviness is sonic weight, which refers to CMM’s low frequencies being associated with large, intense and powerful entities. CMM’s heaviness is also considered in terms of the perceived proximity of activity, apparent size of performance environment, and level and type of energy being expended. In particular, CMM provides the listener with the sense of utmost proximity to the band, usually without any significant perspective of depth. Production strategies for achieving a high commercial standard in CMM are then presented. This is followed by a reflective commentary on the portfolio of productions, which includes discussion of the author’s transition from emulative to professional level of production and considers originality within this body of work. By presenting the subject as an important, valid and authentic scholarly discipline, this work bridges the gap between the worlds of academia and music production practice for this style.

Strother, Eric S. "Unlocking the Paradox of Christian Metal Music." UKnowledge, 2013. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/music_etds/9.
Full textAbstract:
In 1984, Stryper released its first album The Yellow and Black Attack and introduced audiences to a different kind of heavy metal. Instead of lyrics about sex, alcohol, and Satan, Stryper sang about Jesus, salvation, and God. While there were a number of fans ready for this change more were not. Members of the Church as well as members of the metal subculture were in agreement that Christianity and heavy metal were incompatible. Despite these objections, however, more bands emerged, and Christian metal became a significant genre within the Christian music industry. These bands presented Christian-oriented lyrics within the full spectrum of metal subgenres.
This dissertation examines the ways in which Christian metal bands create an intersection between Christianity and the heavy metal subculture, infusing Christianity within the textual, visual, and musical structures of heavy metal. The author employs Deena Weinstein’s “metal code” to frame the analysis. The metal code includes the textual elements (band names, album and song titles, and song lyrics); the visual elements (band logos; album covers; and the various elements of the concert experience including the bands’ appearances, the staging, the interactions with the fans, and music videos); and the musical elements (timbre, modality, formal structure, and production of the songs and albums) that set metal apart from other musical genres. The dissertation also examines the concept of bands as “metal missionaries” that immerse themselves within the heavy metal subculture for the purpose of bringing the Christian message of hope and salvation. The author concludes that even though Christian metal bands modify aspects of elements that are otherwise incompatible with their Christian beliefs and message, they still maintain a sense of stylistic integrity that gives them credibility within the heavy metal subculture and allows them to fulfill their mission.

Kennedy, Lewis F. "Functions of genre in metal and hardcore music." Thesis, University of Hull, 2017. http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/resources/hull:16545.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses various functions of genre in metal/hardcore music as a lens through which to study popular music in the twenty-first century. The thesis proposes that issues of genre are fundamental to understandings of popular music for all participants. Predominant in metal/hardcore discourse, genre serves as an organising principle in historiographies that exert significant influence upon contemporary perceptions of metal and hardcore. I propose generic symbiosis as a new way to conceptualise the relationship between metal and hardcore, addressing issues of consequentiality arising from extant frameworks. Exploring intra- and intergeneric connections, I observe the relationship between small- and largescale phenomena that allows a relatively specific group of performance techniques and compositional devices to connote numerous metal/hardcore genres (and vice versa). Within this interconnected model of genre, subgenres provide a middle ground of generic adaptation by providing a focus on specific small-scale phenomena. Genre may be understood as a general, amorphous concept in flux, while style affords specificity, and their relationship is analogous to that between type and token (where style tokens the genre type). Structured rhizomatically, scenes provide the literal and metaphorical space for such tokening, connecting physical instantiations to abstract notions. The internal rhetorical tensions of mainstream versus underground, and progression versus tradition, are demonstrated to function as a creative apparatus for participants. A manifestation of generic symbiosis, this apparatus provides the mechanism for generic adaptation as participants negotiate these tensions. Through a case study of twenty-first century metalcore, I observe the process of generic codification, outlining how a combination of specific elements of style, emerging from particular scenes, came to demarcate a genre. I show how adaptations within a single genre engender change in numerous other areas of metal/hardcore music culture, underscoring the interconnectivity of genre in popular music.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med det här arbetet var att gestalta fem olika känslor inom genren symphonic metal. Därigenom ville jag avgöra vilka verktyg jag kunde ha nytta av i framtiden för att gestalta känslor musikaliskt och vilka skillnader som finns mellan att gestalta olika känslor. För att göra detta använde jag mig av referenslyssning av tio låtar plus några orkestrala stycken per känsla. Resultatet av lyssningen, tillsammans med olika låtskrivningstekniker, litteratur, Kirnbergers intervallkaraktäristik och Matthesons tonartskaraktäristik, användes till att skriva och arrangera mina fem låtar. Resultatet blev att jag hade lyckats skildra känslorna bra med den metod jag hade använt, men att intervallkaraktäristiken och tonartskaraktäristiken var onödiga; det skulle räcka med mina kunskaper som jag hade förvärvat under utbildningen, referenslyssning och min känsla som låtskrivare. Jag kunde inte heller urskilja några skillnader mellan att gestalta de olika känslorna; metoden var universellt tillämplig.

Allett, Nicola Faye. "'Love's labours' : extreme metal music and its feeling community." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2010. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/3110/.
Full textAbstract:
"'Love's Labours': Extreme Metal Music, and its Feeling Community" proposes an understanding of the nature of subcultural investments in music. It explores the distinct character of Extreme Metal music and the subcultural world that surrounds its fandom. In particular, it is concerned with the nature of attachments to and investments in subculture, investigating how fans feel part of a community, how identities are positioned and postured as 'Extreme Metal', and what processes and activities construct such identifications. Through qualitative research of a group of Extreme Metal fans, and drawing on a variety of theoretical concepts; it suggests that subcultural identities may be related to the processes of interaction and performance and the distinctive forms of subcultural habitus and expert labours linked to those activities. It further suggests that the fan/music relationship can be considered as a site of deep knowledges of 'self', performative labours and interpersonal relations in ways significantly more nuanced than previously theorised. It points to 'feeling' as a key feature of music fandom that provides the explanatory drive to take on, and embed oneself in, particular subcultural habitus, performances and kinship and thus subculture. It proposes that music subcultures can be understood as 'performative feeling communities' that anchor and forge forms of distinction.

Lucas, Olivia. "Loudness, Rhythm and Environment: Analytical Issues in Extreme Metal Music." Thesis, Harvard University, 2016. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:33493271.
Full textAbstract:
Extreme metal music, with its consummate loudness and distortion, and intransigent culture of transgressiveness, resists analysis. This dissertation embraces extreme metal’s liveliness and channels it toward a broad cultural and musical analysis, exploring avenues of loudness, rhythm and ecocriticism. The study of extreme metal opens a window on liminal auralities, allowing the listener to encounter the thresholds of listening and the sheer physicality of sound. These aspects of the extreme metal listening experience open up a broader range of issues: the effects of loudness on the body and mind, the convergent mental and physical experiences of rhythmic complexity, and the sounding out of the often troubled relationship between humans and the natural world.
Built as a series of case studies grounded in moments of sonic experience, the dissertation unearths issues essential to the analysis of extreme metal music and relevant to sonic practice more generally. The introductory chapter situates extreme metal in its current context, examining both the genre’s increasing institutionalization and the turbulent aspects of its history. Chapter 1 contemplates the embodied experience of extremely loud, low frequencies via an auto-ethnographic reading of a performance by the band Sunn O))). The second case study discusses the rhythmic practices of the band Meshuggah, discovering how unexpected beginnings, rotated riffs, and shifting metrical frameworks animate multiple sites of listening pleasure. Via the divergent work of the bands Botanist and Panopticon, the final chapter studies the range of possibilities for musical environmentalism, demonstrating how extreme metal can engage both apocalyptic and nostalgic modes of ecocriticism.
Extreme metal challenges music theory to grapple with what is lost in the act of analysis and to find better ways of tackling the liveliness of musical experience – an issue by no means exclusive to extreme metal. The demands of approaching such an insistently loud, distorted musical practice press the theorist to develop language that expands analytical practice toward greater inclusion of embodied experiences, and to detect how multiple sites of listening pleasure converge and intertwine.Music

Full textAbstract:
The thesis analyses three youth cultures in contemporary Tunisia: metal, rap, and electro. Tunisia is a North-African country which has often been represented as a bridge between Europe and the Arab/Muslim world. It is a crossroad of cultural influences, and its complex situation of economic disadvantage and social inequality imposes peculiar conditions to the existence of local youth cultures and popular music scenes. Moreover, its history of dictatorship, and its 2011 revolution (which inaugurated the so-called Arab Springs), render it a locus of political and cultural struggle. For these reasons, the Tunisian context offers the possibility of expanding the research on youth culture beyond the much-covered West.
The thesis is built upon data coming from a fieldwork research that was carried out for eleven months between 2014 and 2015. Data were collected through interviews with 70 participants in the three scenes (musicians, concert organisers, venue managers, journalists, fans); through participant observations at concerts, DJ sets, and other sites of scene interaction; and through the analysis of textual data coming from Internet websites, song lyrics, newspapers, and the like.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Smith, Gregory Vance. "Rhetorics of Fear, Deployment of Identity, and Metal Music Cultures." Scholar Commons, 2009. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/3676.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the rhetorics of fear operating in public discourses surrounding metal music. This analysis focuses on how the public rhetorics deploy identity on listener populations through both the mediation and legislation of identities. Specifically, this mediation takes place using both symbols of fear and arguments constructed on potential threats. Texts for analysis in this study include film and television documentaries, newspaper articles, book-length critiques of and scholarship on heavy metal, and transcripts from the U.S. Senate Hearings on Record Labeling.
"Heavy metal" and "metal music" are labels that categorize diverse styles of music. While there is no exemplar metal song that accounts for a definition of the genre, the terms have been consistently used in rhetorics of fear. These rhetorical movements produce and deploy deviant identities, depend on the construction of cultural crisis, and generate counter rhetorics of agency for individuals and subcultures. The study moves 1) chronologically through metal history, 2) geographically from the United States to
Norway, and 3) contextually through media events that produce the public discourses of identity, crisis, and counter rhetorics. This study charts the rhetorical movements that have created fear within communities, leading to threats of legislation or criminalization of segments of the population.

Full textAbstract:
Whilst drum replacement, the act of replacing the sound of a particular drum with a pre-recorded sample, has been in practice since the 1970s it is only towards the end of the first decade of the 21st century that software drum machines such as Toontrack’s Superior Drummer 2.0 and Steven Slate Drums have become an popular alternative to actual drum recordings within music production. With the increasing popularity there have been voices from the music community in protest claiming that a machine could never replace an actual drummer. What I aimed to do in this project was to do a comparative study, where I analyse and compare various aspects of both alternatives – a recorded performance with an actual drummer and a MIDI programmed performance sampled drum machine – and see whether or not a human drummer could possibly be replaceable. The results indicated that, given the circumstances and project restrictions, the differences were mostly too miniscule to have any practical value and therefore a drummer was in this scenario replaceable by a MIDI programmable drum machine.Trots att “drum replacement”, att ersätta ljudet av en specifik trumma med ett förinspelat ljudklipp, har använts sedan 70-talet så är det först mot slutet av 2000-talets första decennium som mjukvarubaserade trumbibliotek, så som Toontracks Superior Drummer 2.0 och Steven Slate Drums, har blivit ett populärt alternativ för faktiska truminspelningar inom musikproduktion. I och med den ökade populäriteten har många från musikvärlden protesterat och hävdat att en maskin aldrig kan ersätta en riktig trumslagare. Tanken med det här projektet var att göra en jämförande studie där jag analyserar och jämför olika aspekter av de båda alternativen - ett inspelat framförande med en riktig trumslagare och ett framförande programmerat i MIDI med en samplingsbaserad trummaskin - för att se huruvida en mänsklig trummis skulle kunna vara ersättningsbar. Resultaten visade, med hänsyn tagen till projektets begränsningar, att skillnaderna var för små för att ha något praktiskt värde och att en trummisen i det här scenariot därför kunde ersättas med en midiprogrammerbar trummaskin.

Argumenten analyseras med hjälp av en kvalitativ argumentationsanalys med material från internetforumet Reddit. Resultatet visar på att negativitet finns mot metalcore, genren är alldeles för simpel och alldeles för mainstream för metalfans. Metalcore-låtar är endast en omstuvning av andra metalcore-låtar enligt metalfans. Den visar också en sorts splittring av fansen där några av metalfansen tycker om äldre metalcore.

Cope, Andrew Laurence. "From the dawn of the Sabbath ... metal was born." Thesis, University of Salford, 2007. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/26626/.
Full textAbstract:
The early 1990s saw the publication of important academic works on the subject of heavy metal music. These works were seminal in that they were the first to recognise and interrogate, in any substantial way, a topic that had been, until then, valued only as a cultural/sociological subject. Those ground-breaking works included Robert Walser's 1993 publication Running with The Devil: Power, Gender and Madness in Heavy Metal and Deena Weinstein's Heavy Metal: The Music and its Culture first published in 1991. Both works however, present heavy metal in broad terms, creating a wide paradigm that includes bands with widely differing musical syntax and aesthetic concerns (e.g. Cradle of Filth to Bon Jovi). These generalisations, being based on the perceived commonality of such concepts as power-chords and gendering, form something of a paradox that has been unquestioningly embraced by subsequent authors and so sustaining that opinion. I have challenged these generalisations and asserted that hard rock and heavy metal are distinctly different generic forms in both musical syntax and aesthetic. Moreover, I have argued that both Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were pivotal in the formation of heavy metal and hard rock respectively and that the first six albums of both bands were particularly significant to the generic evolution of both forms of music. Heavy metal has evolved and become an established form of music over the last three and a half decades but vitally retains the central coding established in Black Sabbath's early work, not least the consistent utilisation of key intervals such as the tritone and flat 2nd, modal riffs, down-tuned guitars, aggressive performance techniques, episodic structuring and anti-patriarchal themes. By contrast, Led Zeppelin made significant contributions to the evolution of hard rock through a re-working of blues-based themes and syntax and the development of an eclectic repertoire. This work deconstructs that evolutionary process, highlighting the distinct nature of both forms.

Denna uppsats handlar om vilka tekniker som kan användas då man vill förlänga speltiden på en låt inom rock och metal. Jag har förlängt en låt som från början var 4 minuter till en låt som numera är 14 minuter. Jag har analyserat band och artister som spelar progressiv rock och progressiv metal för att ta lära från deras tekniker hur man håller en röd tråd genom en längre komposition. Min projektlåt skrev jag om genom att lägga till flera olika instrumentala delar, allt från intro till gitarrsolos och melodier som vackert smälter samman låtens olika delar. Originallåten, som inte har progressiva element, utvecklades till en projektlåt som var väldigt progressiv, utan att hamna utanför den ursprungliga musikaliska miljön.

Manch angestaubte Platte lässt vernehmen, wie sehr sie sich gegen das Archivieren sträubt, wie gerne sie laut gehört werden will. Es ist also so eine Sache mit dem Sammeln und Aufbereiten eines Gegenstandes, der vom Wesen her nichts Museales an sich hat, sondern ein energiegeladenes Zeugnis musikalischen Ausdrucks religiöser Gefühle ist. Und so geht dem Archivar immer wieder Folgendes durch den Kopf: Und führt mich doch nicht schon wieder in Versuchung! In die Versuchung, die potentiellen und tatsächlichen Opfer wissenschaftlicher Neugier zu ihrem Recht kommen zu lassen, flüstern sie ihm doch täglich zu: Play me, and play me loud – manchmal zur Freude und manchmal zum Leidwesen der anderen Mitarbeiter.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper has been to examine the heavy metal band Sabatons use of history and to relate it to societal trends in today’s Sweden. I have examined Sabatons music, album covers and music videos in order to define a certain use of history. To do this I have used a use of history theory and a heavy metal theory. My results showed that some of Sabatons use of history could be defined as commercial and that the societal trends in today`s Sweden have in some cases affected the selection and presentation of events and characters that`s been portrayed by Sabaton. Earlier use of history in other forms of media, especially movies, has also played a part in the selection and presentation, which becomes particularly obvious in some of Sabatons music videos. However, an overall theme in my results have shown that the heavy metal cultures norms and ideas have been the main cause behind the selection, but especially the way characters and events is portrayed in their songs, an existential use of history.

Full textAbstract:
The Southern Metal scene depends heavily on the performance of a Southern Identity. While considerable research has been done on other musical genres and scenes from the American South (country music, blues, gospel music), less attention has been given to the extreme metal scene of Southern Metal. Using scholarship of Nadine Hubbs, Philip Auslander, Jefferey C. Alexander, and Keith Kahn Harris, among others, I analyze two films, Slow Southern Steel (2010) and NOLA: Life, Death, and Heavy Blues from the Bayou (2014), and one song, Down’s “Eyes of the South” as cultural productions of this Southern Metal scene. In this project, I define the musical elements and scene ethos of Southern Metal as they relate to a wider, more mainstream American audience and describe how these identities and cultural forms are produced, negotiated, and embodied.

Full textAbstract:
I am concerned with the performance of subversive ... narratives ... the performance of possibilities aims to create ... a ... space where unjust systems and processes are identified and interrogated. (Madison 280). If a woman cannot feel comfortable in her own body, she has no home. (Winterson, J; The Guardian 29.03.2013). Black metal is beyond music. It exceeds its function of musical genre. It radiates with its sepulchral fire on every side of culture [...] Black metal is the suffering body that illustrates, in the same spring, all the human darkness as much as its vital impetus. (Lesourd 41-42). Representation matters. Growing up there were only two women in famous metal bands that I would have considered role models; Jo Bench from Bolt Thrower (UK) and Sean Ysseult from White Zombie (US). This lack or under-representation of women in metal was always obvious to me and has stayed with me as I have developed as a metal musician. Women fans that see women musicians on stage, creates a paradigm of connection; that representation means something. Judith Butler states ‘on the one hand, representation serves as the operative term within a political process that seeks to extend visibility and legitimacy to women as political subjects; on the other hand, representation is the normative function of language which is said either to reveal or distort what is assumed to be true about the category of women’ (1). Butler references de Beauvoir, Kristeva, Irigaray, Foucault and Wittig regarding the lack of category of women, that ‘woman does not have a sex’ (Irigaray qtd. in Butler 1) and that ‘strictly speaking, “women” cannot be said to exist’ (Kristeva qtd. in Butler 1). If this is to be understood in relation to my research, my embodied subjectivity as performative text, regardless of its reception suggests that my autoethnographic position acts as a counter to women’s lack of category. If there is a lack of category, then there is something important happening to ‘woman as subject’. This research seeks to analyse ‘woman as subject’ in female black metal performance by using interpretive performance autoethnography and psychoanalysis. As the guitarist and front woman with the black metal band Denigrata, my involvement has meant that the journey to find my home rests within the blackened heart of musical performance. Interpretive performance autoethnography provides the analytical frame that helps identify the ways in which patriarchal modes of address and engagement inform and frame ‘woman as subject’ in female black metal performance.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contributes an empirically informed understanding of postcolonial experience and musical expression in West Africa through an ethnographic study of amateur brass bands (fanfares) in the Republic of Benin. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Western hegemonic cultural tradition of the brass band was exported across the globe through imperialist institutions such as the military and the church. Music in colonial Dahomey was an integral part of the French civilizing mission, and the brass band took center stage. Brass bands remain pervasive in present-day Benin and perform in a multitude of political, social, and religious contexts. Previous scholarship subsumes postcolonial musical performance into social scripts of resistance, framing brass bands in particular within cultural modes of mimesis, indigenization, or appropriation. Pushing against these canonical narratives, this thesis illustrates apolitical, affective, and embodied modes of experiencing colonialism's material and musical debris. Broadly, the ethnography presented here speaks to four themes. The first of these is material. Evident in musicians' accounts are materials' sonic inclinations: how instrument design and disrepair constrain musical ideals, and how different metals encourage particular pitches and timbres. Present, too, is the social and affective capacity of material: how ideas about brass instruments shape histories, erect styles, construct tastes, move bodies, induce anxieties, and proffer futures. The second theme is precarity. Fanfare musicians âget byâ in an exploitative (musical) economy, are made anxious by ambiguous understandings of brass instruments, and manage an undercurrent of uncertainty in a social milieu rife with rumor and distrust. A third theme arising is that of the body, broadly conceived. This thesis illustrates the corporeal demands of fanfare performance, the embodied experience of blowing brass instruments, and the social value of bodily strength and exertion. The fourth theme is entanglement. Beninese musicians' experience of fanfare is entangled within (at times contradictory) ideas of the past, imaginings of the outside, emotions in the present, and expectations for the future. Entanglement likewise extends to musical instruments: the multiple valences of materials collide in brass instruments, as do histories, traditions, and feelings.

Full textAbstract:
Background: In 1984, a 19-year-old boy shot himself to death. According to the news at that time, the boy have listened to a heavy metal singer: Ozzy Osbourne's song "Suicide Solution". His parents believed Ozzy Osbourne is responsible for their son's death. Because of this case, listening to heavy metal music induced adolescent risk behaviors and suicidal behaviors became a keen dispute. Especially some parents have proposed that heavy metal music should be banned so as to prevent similar case occur again.
Objective: To investigate the association between heavy metal music and adolescent risk behavior, problem behavior or suicide.
Methods: Relevant studies which are published from 1983 to 2013 were searched and identified through PubMed and Google Scholar with a combination of keywords. Studies concerning the association between heavy music preference and any of the problem behaviors or suicide were included. Among the 183 studies included, 10 studies were found to be available and relevant so that they were selected in this literature review. The entire studies were carried out in western countries and all of them are observational studies using questionnaires to collect the data. They used different sample sizes and outcome measurements.
Results: 9 out of 10 studies indicated that heavy metal music was associated with adolescent risk/problem behavior or suicide. However, the causal relationship between heavy metal music and the risk/problem behavior and suicide of adolescent cannot be determined.
Conclusion: In summary, there is evidence that Heavy Metal Music does have an association with adolescent risk/problem behavior and suicide. But further researches are needed in different countries to increase the generalizability and establish the hypothesis of whether there is a relationship between them.published_or_final_version

The writer of this master thesis was acquiring an education in classical percussion and deeply respecting the music genre named djent. He was so impressed by metal music that he taught himself how to use the notation programme Sibelius 7 and arranged a number of his favourite songs for the percussion ensemble so he would be able to play them. The following text supports and describes the process. A short analysis of 16 arrangements is included as well.

The research was a qualitative study of the dress of heavy metal (HM) music groups using content analysis. The purpose was to examine dress characteristics of a representative random sample of HM music groups. The objectives were (a) to develop a classification system for HM music groups based on time and subgenre, (b) to identify music groups within each cell (i.e., time and subgenre) of the classification system, and (c) to identify dress characteristics of a representative random sample of the music groups.
The subjects in the study were HM music groups as pictured on albums. The variables were the selected items of dress and the classification of the groups by time and subgenre. A classification system was developed and used for the selection of subjects. Using the HM Dress Classification Instrument developed by the researcher, specific dress characteristics of twenty-four HM music groups were identified. This data was compiled in tabular format.
Among the twenty-four HM groups, the predominant clothing was a black woven shirt and black leather/suede pants. Clothing trim included studs, motifs/designs, words and fringe. No visible jewelry was predominant. The primary shoes observed were western boots. Straight, shoulder-length black or blond hair with no head covering was predominant. Beards, makeup, tattooing, and other forms of corporal adornment were observed. Although some dress categories were dominated by single items, changes were observed across time and subgenres. The data indicated rejection of the two null hypotheses.

Full textAbstract:
The unusual complexity of two recent recordings by the extreme metal band Meshuggah has resulted in a strongly divided reception amongst fans, providing the opportunity to reconsider some common conceptions of metal aesthetics and to contribute to subtler ways of understanding taste and social demographics. Spanning twenty-one and forty-seven minutes respectively, I (2004) and Catch Thirtythr33 (2005) surprised fans with their unusual lengths (both recordings considered by the band to be single songs), complex song writing, and, with Catch Thirtythr33, the band's use of programmed drums. In response to interviewers' questions about each of these factors, the members of Meshuggah have made remarks that have been widely accepted among fans and rock journalists but that also seem to contradict their compositional practices and sometimes even their own previous statements. In my thesis, I investigate this discrepancy and its implications for how the concepts of authenticity and aesthetic values vary in metal discourses using concepts derived from critical theory, music theoretical analysis, and sociology. By uncovering several diverse aesthetic values through these discourses, I argue for an alternative to traditional class-based models of metal fans, one that will acknowledge the wide variety of aesthetic values found amongst metal audiences in this study.La complexité inhabituelle de deux enregistrements récents du groupe métal extrême Meshuggah a entraîné un profond schisme parmi les fans, offrant ainsi l'opportunité de reconsidérer certaines conceptions courantes concernant l'esthétique métal ainsi que de raffiner la compréhension du goût et de la démographie sociale. Durant vingt-et-une et quarante-sept minutes respectivement, I (2004) et Catch Thirtythr33 (2005) ont surpris les fans par leur durée inhabituelle (les deux enregistrements étant chacun considérés par le groupe comme chansons individuelles), leur écriture complexe et, avec Catch Thirtythr33, l'utilisation programmée de la batterie. En réponse aux questions des intervieweurs concernant chacun de ces trois facteurs, les membres de Meshuggah ont mis de l'avant des affirmations qui ont été bien reçues parmi les fans et les journalistes de rock mais qui semblent cependant aller à l'encontre de leurs pratiques compositionnelles habituelles, contredisant même, parfois, certaines de leurs affirmations antérieures. Cette thèse examine ces contradictions et ce que celles-ci impliquent dans la façon que varient les concepts d'authenticité et des valeurs esthétiques présents dans les discours sur le métal, utilisant des concepts issus de la théorie critique, de l'analyse musicale, ainsi que de la sociologie. En mettant en lumière les diverses valeurs esthétiques existant dans ces discours, je voudrais ici démontrer qu'il existe une alternative aux modèles traditionnels des fans du métal se basant sur la classe sociale et qui rendra compte de la diversité des valeurs esthétiques que l'on retrouve parmi le public du métal de c

Full textAbstract:
Heavy Metal is a peculiar music genre, made by fans for fans, which spread throughout the entire planet and became, over its five decades of existence, a global community as well. These aspects of Heavy Metal make it a very interesting phenomenon to study. Heavy Metal has previously been researched with a micro outlook on its local connotations in several different Global South countries, analyzing one at a time. As far as the whole Global Metal community is concerned, to this day, there seems to be no literature that is based on the Global South perspective, but only on the Western one. As it has not been attempted to study Global Metal with a macro outlook and to take a broader perspective on it, this research employs a larger view on the Global South’s point of view on Metal culture. Therefore this study aims at giving possible explanations about the reasons behind Heavy Metal worldwide spread. Results will show how further Heavy Metal reception studies on Global South metalheads should be approached through the lens of the Cosmopolitan paradigm; how the metalheads of the sample tend to indicate Death Metal as the most spread sub-genre and to describe themselves as open minded and tolerant. This research helps showing a slight tendency of metalheads to consider themselves part of a Global community, which is defined more like a family, underlining their inclination towards cosmopolitanism. Finally it will show how there should be a broader study on the sense making of well-known songs to determine whether or not there is a certain degree of similar interpretation across different cultures.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation offers a cultural history of the 1980s through an examination of one of the decade’s most memorable cultural forms – hair metal. The notion that hair metal musicians, and subsequently their fans, wanted “nothin’ but a good time,” shaped popular perceptions of the genre as shallow, hedonistic, and apolitical. Set against the backdrop of Reagan’s election and the rise of conservatism throughout the decade, hair metal’s transgressive nature embodied in the performers’ apparent obsession with partying and their absolute refusal to adopt the traditional values and trappings of “yuppies” or middle-class Americans, certainly appeared to be a strong reaction against conservatism; however, a closer examination of hair metal as a cultural form reveals a conservative subtext looming beneath the genre’s transgressive façade. In its embrace of traditional gender roles, free market capitalism, and American exceptionalism, hair metal upheld and worked to re-inscribe the key tenants of conservative ideology. Historians have only recently turned an analytical eye toward the 1980s and by and large their analyses have focused on the political and economic changes wrought by the Reagan Revolution that competed America’s conservative turn over the course of the decade. This study adds to historical understandings of the decade’s political history by telling us how non-political actors – musicians, producers, critics, and fans – shaped and were shaped by the currents of formal politics. Though heavy metal music and the rise of conservatism seem to share little common ground, by putting these two seemingly disparate historiographies into conversation with one another, we gain a clearer picture of the breadth and depth of conservatism’s reach in the 1980s.

Thomas, Sara Ann. "Subjectivity In American popular metal : contemporary gothic, the body, the grotesque, and the child." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2009. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/644/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the subject in Popular American Metal music and culture during the period 1994-2004, concentrating on key artists of the period: Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Tura Satana and My Ruin. Starting from the premise that the subject is consistently portrayed as being at a time of crisis, the thesis draws on textual analysis as an under appreciated approach to popular music, supplemented by theories of stardom in order to examine subjectivity. The study is situated in the context of the growing area of the contemporary gothic, and produces a model of subjectivity specific to this period: the contemporary gothic subject. This model is then used throughout to explore recurrent themes and richly symbolic elements of the music and culture: the body, pain and violence, the grotesque and the monstrous, and the figure of the child, representing a usage of the contemporary gothic that has not previously been attempted. Attention is also paid throughout to the specific late capitalist American cultural context in which the work of these artists is situated, and gives attention to the contradictions inherent in a musical form which is couched in commodity culture but which is highly invested in notions of the ‘Alternative’. In the first chapter I propose the model of the contemporary gothic subject for application to the work of Popular Metal artists of the period, drawing on established theories of the contemporary gothic and Michel Foucault’s theory of confession. The second chapter focuses on instances of violence to the body and the recurrent themes of pain and violence, which are explained through the model of corporeal verification and consensual violence. In the third chapter I explore the contemporary gothic subject in the tradition of the grotesque and the monstrous, drawing on theories of the gothic monster, to suggest that the subject is engaged in a negotiation of the boundaries between self and other. The fourth chapter concentrates on the figure of the child, drawing on theories of horror film and fiction and the tradition of the Evil Innocent and the Gothic child. The final chapter is a case study of Marilyn Manson, exploring his role as a paradigmatic example of contemporary gothic subjectivity.

Full textAbstract:
La consommation de musique live durant les concerts peut avoir des conséquences graves pour les individus et la société dans son ensemble. Cette thèse explore les motivations des consommateurs à s’exposer à des niveaux sonores extrêmes. Nous nous concentrons plus précisément sur le cas du métal, un genre qui place la puissance sonore au coeur de son identité collective. Nous analysons comment les amateurs du genre valorisent des niveaux sonores potentiellement délétères. Nous utilisons un paradigme sémiotique afin d’interpréter les données issues d’un travail ethnographique multi-méthodes et identifions quatre registres de valorisation : épistémique et transformatif, politique, spirituel, et esthétique. Cette approche dégage le sens profond et riche de la consommation de la puissance sonore et contribue ainsi à expliquer la résistance de certains consommateurs aux politiques de santé publiques promouvant la protection de soi. Notre analyse mitige également l’absolutisme des recommandations émises par la psychologie des comportements de santé du consommateur, un courant de recherche que nous analysons dans notre section théoriqueThe consumption of live music during concerts can have dire consequences for individuals and society alike. This dissertation explores consumers’ motivations to expose themselves to extreme sound levels. Focusing on metal – i.e. a genre that places loudness at the heart of its collective identity – we discuss how music enthusiasts come to valorize potentially deleterious sonic stimuli. We use a semiotic framework to interpret our multi-method ethnography and identify four areas of valorization with respect to loudness: epistemic and self-transformative, political, spiritual, and aesthetic. This approach paints loudness consumption as a deeply meaningful process. In doing so, it helps to understand consumers’ resistances to the public policies that advocate self-protection from harmful sound levels. It also casts doubt about the absolutism that shrouds the recommendations issued from consumer health psychology, a research stream we review in our theoretical section

Full textAbstract:
Originality is an important social and cultural value. In pop music its influence is comprehensive: it shapes the economics of an industry through copyright law, and the temperament of musical culture through its place as keystone of the prevailing Romantic tradition. The concept extends beyond issues of artistic and technical innovation: a point of origin is fundamental to the stories we tell about pop. What these stories tell us about ourselves and the way we use music, though, may be more complex than the orthodoxy allows; while the moderns from Eliot and Frye through Barthes and Foucault have sliced and diced originality in text, its interrogation in popular music is overdue. This study seeks to address the social and cultural context, the implications for individual identity and the issues of creative intention, status, popularity and profitability that come into play at those moments when the cultural honours of “originality” are conferred. Working from archival and textual resources, the research explores the entry of “black music” into pop culture with the Fisk University Jubilee Singers, who can be seen both as the source of several cultural streams which remain influential in popular music, and as the source of a popular mythology which has become detached from historical fact. It then proceeds to three case studies. The problem of what it means to start something new is developed in the story of Elvis Presley and the foundation myth of rock & roll. The professional use of originality is interrogated in the work of the Beatles, a foursome with a strong claim to be the greatest plagiarists, if not the greatest originators in pop. And the artistic idea of originality and its contingencies are addressed through the case of Lou Reed and the changing status of his album Metal Machine Music. A final chapter assesses the conclusions which can be made from these explorations, and the implications for future research.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen var att vidga förståelsen av hur musikgenren death metal samspelar med scener från skräckfilm. För att metodiskt genomföra detta skapades fyra gestaltningar där musikstycken av sagda genre spelas ihop med fyra filmscener. Dessa gestaltningar analyserades och visades för fem informanter i samband med att de blev intervjuade. Resultatet indikerar på att genren deathmetal samspelar med sagda gestaltningar likt traditionell filmmusik. Resultatet indikerar även på att detta samspel uppfattas snarlikt oberoende på informanternas erfarenhet av musikgenren.

This work is the final product of the course Master of Music in Music Performance and subarea is divided into two parts: Part A: Artistic Production, with two recitals, one of Defense and other, called Recital I, relating to compliance mandatory prerequisite of the course; and PART B: Scientific Article, consists of a text resulting from the formal research that presents a case study of focal dystonia. The paper discusses the levels of stress and anxiety in four subjects with historical and focal dystonia. The methodology used was a brief literature review and the application of questionnaires and (musician habits and the K-MPAI inventory. - Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory) in four subjects who self-reported diagnosed with Focal Dystonia Carry out a survey of habits current that may have been stimuli that led these professionals to develop the said disorder. It is concluded that there is still no full understanding of this disorder and there is little information on the matter between the parties concerned higher, affected musicians, which probably contributes to the great worsening of existing cases. However, it was possible to expand through this, references in English on the subject and propose reflections on a more critical and conscious musical practice.

Full textAbstract:
This essay researches the prevalence of Gnostic influences in contemporary music lyrics, more exclusively within the context of the extreme metal scene. A resurgence of such topics has also been evident in contemporary music; not surprisingly, as music in general is part of the foundations of culture, and in a wider aspect, of society at large. The essay is performed using a hermeneutic method, interpreting music lyrics and discussing them from a background of cultural and religious theory. The purposes of researching the influences of Gnosticism in this environment are to determine the presence of Gnostic thought in extreme metal lyrics, research the eventual re-interpretations of historical sources of Gnosticism, and to discuss the acknowledged Gnostic influences in the displayed art form in a contemporary cultural perspective, related to cultural aspects such as secularization, modernity and globalization. Sources include music lyrics appropriate to the subject matter at hand as well as previously published interviews. The results of the investigation demonstrate that there are multiple interpretations of Gnostic thought apparent in extreme metal lyrics, varying from slight re-interpretations to more extensive ones, as apparent in what is identified as a chaos-gnostic current. The Gnostic material has in the latter scenario been integrated into an originally satanic worldview and as a result has become a major part of the chaos-gnostic belief system. The chaos-gnostic current has appeared in a highly secular surrounding, and the results of the essay propose that a secular surrounding can breed elements of trangression within individuals, leading to the resurgence of oppositional counter-cultural characteristics and an awakening of alternative spirituality with oppositional overtones.
