Based on ethnographic research within the extreme metal community,
Unger offers a thought-provoking look at how symbols of
authenticity and defilement fashion social experience in surprising
ways. Exploring the many themes and ciphers that comprise this
musical community, this book interprets aesthetic resonances as a
way to understand contemporary identity, politics, and social
relations. In the end, this book develops a unique argument: the
internal composition of the community's music and sound moulds
symbols that shape, reflect, and constrain social patterns of
identity, difference, and transgression. This book contributes to
the sociology of sound and music, the study of religion in popular
culture, and the role of aesthetics in everyday life. It will be of
interest to upper level students, post-graduate students and
scholars of religion, popular culture, and philosophy.
