Metal is a form of popular music. Popular music is a form of
leisure. In the modern age, popular music has become part of
popular culture, a heavily contested collection of practices and
industries that construct place, belonging and power. The arrival
of Donald Trump in the White House has shown that angry white men
still wield huge social and cultural power in this new century. The
aim of this monograph is to explore metal music - might be seen as
leisure spaces that resist the norms and values of the mainstream;
but also how they might also serve to re-affirm and construct those
norms and values. In particular, this book is interested in how
forms of metal might work to re-imagine masculinity, race, nation
and class in an intersectional way through the myth of warrior
masculinity and blood and soil. This monograph explores the history
of the myths, and the reaction by fans to the music. The focus is
extended to bands that use the warrior-nation myth in places and
countries beyond the global North, and in ways that challenge or
subvert hegemony.
