This is the first study of its kind, focusing exclusively on scenes
throughout the world; it makes an important contribution to metal
studies. Metal Scenes around the World is a collection of thirteen
chapters that examine metal scenes from smaller communities like
Dayton, Ohio in the USA, to entire countries, such as Estonia. The
goal of the book is to expand the research on metal scenes. This is
the only book produced on metal scenes to date, and it will lead
the way to more research in this new area of metal studies. The
strongest element of the book is its international focus, with
chapters from such diverse settings as post-apartheid South Africa,
Graz, Nantes, Brazil and Turkey. The chapters are detailed, richly
embedded in local histories and contexts, and provide important
analyses of their respective scenes. Foreword from Henkka
Seppälä, former bassist with the Finnish metal band Children Of
Bodom. Primary readership will be composed of fans and scholars of
metal music, and those in the fields of anthropology, musicology
and history. The diversity of the chapters connects metal to other
disciplines in the music field and the book is likely to have
appeal more widely to anyone who likes music.
Elaborating on themes of resilience, memory, critique and metal
beyond metal, this volume highlights how the development and future
of metal music scholarship is predicated on the engagement with
other forms of popular culture such as comics, documentaries, and
popular music. Drawing from a range of theoretical perspectives and
methodological approaches, Heavy Metal Studies and Popular
Culture's transnational approach and rootedness in metal
scholarship provides the collection with a breadth and depth that
makes it a critical resource for academics and students interested
in the theories and trends shaping the future of Metal Music
Studies.
