Christian metal has always defined itself in contrast to its
non-Christian, secular counterpart, yet it stands out from nearly
all other forms of contemporary Christian music through its
unreserved use of metal's main musical, visual, and aesthetic
traits. Christian metal is a rare example of a direct combination
between evangelical Christianity and an aggressive and highly
controversial form of popular music and its culture."Christian
Metal: History, Ideology, Scene" is the first full exploration of
the phenomenon of Christian metal music, its history, main
characteristics, development, diversification, and key ideological
traits from its formative years in the early 1980s to the present
day. Marcus Moberg situates it in a wider international evangelical
cultural environment, accounts for its diffusion on a transnational
scale, and explores what religious meanings and functions Christian
metal holds for its own musicians and followers. Engaging with
wider debates on religion, media and popular culture, "Christian
Metal: History, Ideology and Scene" is a much-needed resource in
the study of religion and popular music.
