Death Metal is among the most despised forms of violently themed
entertainment. Many politicians, conservative groups and typical
Americans attribute youth violence and the destruction of social
values to such entertainment. The usual assumptions about the Death
Metal scene and its fans have rarely been challenged.
This book investigates the demographic trends, attitudes,
philosophical beliefs, ethical systems, and behavioral patterns
within the scene, seeking to situate Death Metal in the larger
social order. The Death Metal community proves to be a useful
microcosm for much of American subculture and lends insight into
the psychological and social functions of many forbidden or illicit
entertainment forms. The author's analysis, rich in interviews with
rock stars, radio hosts, and average adolescent fans, provides a
key to comprehending deviant tendencies in modern American
culture.
