Heavy Metal, Gender and Sexuality brings together a collection of
original, interdisciplinary, critical essays exploring the
negotiated place of gender and sexuality in heavy metal music and
its culture. Scholars debate the current state of play concerning
masculinities, femininities, queerness, identity aesthetics and
monstrosities in an area of music that is sometimes mistakenly
treated as exclusively sustaining a masculinist hegemony. The book
combines a broad variety of perspectives on the main topic,
regarding gender in connection to: the history of the genre; the
range of metal subgenres; heavy metal's multidimensional scope
(music, lyrics, performance, style, illustrations); men and women;
sexualities and various local and global perspectives. Heavy Metal,
Gender and Sexuality is a text that opens up the world of heavy
metal to reveal that it is a very diverse and ground-breaking stage
where gender play is at the centre of its theatricality and
sustains its mass appeal.
