Abstract:
Heavy Metal is a specific, alternative music genre that exists on the fringe of popular music, where it is classified by its own culture: musical style, fashion, philosophy, symbolic language and political activism. For over five decades of the existence of heavy metal, its fans have developed various communication systems through different types of transnational networks, which significantly influenced the development of all aspects of metal culture, which relates both to divisions within the genre itself and to various philosophical and political aspects of heavy metal activism – of a global

Abstract:
This paper is an inquiry into a contemporary heavy metal band from Sweden called Ghost. Ghost released its first studio album in 2010 and, while there is some discussion as to what their genre is exactly, they immediately became a rising star in the metal scene. Yet what is of particular interest from a storytelling point of view, especially with regard to theological answers to philosophical questions in popular culture, is that the band presents itself as a satanic version of the Catholic Church through their stage act and lyrics. This made me curious whether they are trying to convey a mess

Abstract:
This article argues that, in some specific cases, Finnish heavy metal lyrics are horror texts, and that mothers in Finnish heavy metal lyrics are often relegated to tropes, like being ‘othered’. This shows that motherhood in Finnish heavy metal lyrics, much like motherhood in horror texts, is rarely depicted subversively. This article will address aspects of what makes motherhood horrifying and monstrous in Finnish heavy metal music. Because Pekka Kainulainen, the lyricist for Amorphis (a Finnish heavy metal band), was interviewed specifically for this project, the main example used in this ar

The article is devoted to defining the role of thrash metal music in the foundation of extreme heavy music in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Attention focused on the importance of a separate sub-genre of heavy metal music in forming a new style of heavy music, including new vocal techniques, building more complex compositions, and expanding the lyrics' themes. Analyzed the criteria by which extreme heavy music can attribute among other sub-genres of heavy metal and defined thrash metal as a transitional stage between heavy metal and extreme music.

Abstract:
The enduring presence of heavy metal music spanning multiple decades has generated a large global audience of devoted fans. Within Europe, renowned metal music festivals such as Wacken Open Air and Rock am Ring in Germany have solidified the genre's influence. Although scholarly research has explored metal music festivals and their attendees, there has been a noticeable gap in the examination of sustainability aspects within this domain. Consequently, this work undertakes a quantitative investigation into the social, environmental, and economic impacts within the context of metal musi

AbstractThe study of the recorded artefact from a musicological perspective continues to unfold through contemporary research. Whilst an understanding of the scientific elements of recorded sound is well documented, the exploration of the production and the artistic nature of this endeavour is still developing. This article explores phenomenological aspects of producing heavy metal music from the perspective of seven renowned producers working within the genre. Through a series of interviews and subsequent in-depth analysis, particular sonic qualities are identified as key within the productio

Metal music is a quite popular subculture in Slovakia. Although heavy metal music simply noise for some, it is not so shallow and there are deeper meanings. There have been many metal bands that have addressed social concerns, as well as ethical and philosophical questions. Metal music uses various metaphors and other tropes to express philosophical ideas; not only in lyrics, but also in its use of melody. The focus here will be on several influential contemporary metal bands from Central Slovakia, and the philosophical and ethical aspects of their metal poetry.

Abstract:
A qualitative research was conducted on how heavy metal survived and competed with other genres in a sacred city of Padang Indonesia, where metal and religion seemed to be unmatched. This research aims at understanding why heavy metal showed no significant progress despite its long existence in the city. An interview of five musicians from the five most popular metal bands in the city revealed that the metal music genre had struggled to survive for two reasons: the stigma of its negative influence on society and the failure of metal musicians in proving that metal symbols and lifestyle were ir

This study is an attempt to investigate religious perceptions and its development, function and connection to religious practise within the Swedish extreme metal scene. This is performed mainly by a qualitative method of investigation, studying lyrical content published on a number of extreme metal albums, thereafter relating the lyrical progression to the progession of the scene as a whole and also to the development of individual religious belief and practise.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the uncanny appeal of O’Connor’s Wise Blood (and perhaps John Huston’s film adaptation of this novel) on songwriters on the extremes of popular music, in the genres of punk/post-punk, heavy metal, and alternative rock. The argument is made that representations of O’Connor’s first novel and its protagonist Hazel Motes in punk and metal works reflect unironic misreadings of the book’s religious satire. For purveyors of the extreme popular music examined in this chapter, Hazel Motes is a type of licentious anarchist, promoting an anti-Christian self-determinism, not unlike t

Abstract:
Heavy metal, in all its varieties, has been consistently intertwined with religions. This chapter presents four cases that exemplify key moments in metal's development. The first examines metal's early fascination with religious themes and symbolism, marking the simultaneous ubiquity and elusiveness of religion. The second case reads metal's public controversies as indices of changing expectations about religio-moral content in music. The third explores the contrast between “black metal” and “white metal” since the 1990s, one explicitly Satanic and the other openly, if complicatedly, Christian

Abstract In 1966, guitarist Eric Clapton joined with bass player Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker to form the rock trio Cream. While Clapton tended toward a style of electric blues close to the Mississippi Delta and Chicago blues songs he venerated, with the combination of Bruce’s elaborate bass lines and Baker’s jazz-influenced drumming Cream quickly became the best known of the original “power trio” blues-based rock bands and prepared the ground for the later group Led Zeppelin to begin the transition from blues-based rock to heavy metal.
