Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is
a purposeful construction engaging multiple performative realms.
Metal musicians make performative choices for serving particular
aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. Metal artists are the contracted
employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be
recognized. For publicity and promotion, bands must acquiesce to
the wishes of assorted media entities like radio or television.
Functioning within a subcultural genre, artists balance the
normative practices of metal musicians while being mindful of the
preferences for those consuming their performance, the metal
audience. Ultimately, the musicians must adapt their performance to
balance the demands of critics, peers, and a purchasing public in
such a way as to appear innovative and authentic while retaining
ties to metal's musical and performative standards. It is at the
nexus of these factors that this academic study explores metal
performativity during the era in which metal thrived as one of the
most commercially successful rock music subgenres. This book should
appeal to those interested in performance, media, and popular
cultural studies.
