  Keywords Metal, violencia, género, protocolo, Nuestra Abya Yala, Nuestra Afroamérica; Gender; Violence; Metal music, GBV, protocol, Red de Estudios y Experiencias en y desde el Heavy Metal (REEHM)  
  Abstract El objetivo de este artículo es narrar la experiencia de construcción de un protocolo contra violencias por motivos de género en las prácticas del metal dentro de la región de Nuestra Abya Yala y Nuestra Afroamérica, por parte de la Comisión de Género de la Red de Estudios y Experiencias en y desde el Heavy Metal (REEHM). Para ello se dará cuenta de las diferentes etapas que componen este proceso, las cuales van desde las necesidades iniciales surgidas a partir de diversos ataques de violencia epistémica hacia integrantes de la REEHM, hasta la elaboración colectiva mediante métodos colaborativos. Esto implica la lectura, la reflexión y la escucha cuidada y grupal en la Primera Ronda de Brujxs. Hacia el final se comentan algunas conclusiones y proyecciones futuras vinculadas al metal y las problemáticas de género.

[The aim of this article is to recount the experience of building a protocol against gender-based violence (GBV) within metal music practices in the region of Nuestra Afroamerica, by the Gender Commission of the Heavy Metal Studies and Experiences Network (REEHM). The different stages that make up this process will be described, ranging from the initial needs arising from various attacks of epistemic violence against REEHM members, to the collective elaboration through collaborative methods. This involves group reading, reflection, and careful listening in the Primera Ronda de Brujxs (First Circle of Witches). Towards the end some conclusions and future projections related to metal and gender issues are discussed.]

  Title EL CUERPO HUMANO COMO INSTRUMENTO SUBCULTURAL DE LOS INICIOS DEL HEAVY METAL AL SIMBOLISMO RITUAL DEL BLACK METAL. Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Fuentes Humanísticas Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 19 Issue 34 Pages 43-57  
  Keywords sociocultural, instrumento, heavy metal, simbolismo, black metal, Alice Cooper; instrument, symbolism  
  Abstract En el caso que aquí nos atañe, las manifestaciones corpóreas cargan un lenguajesimbólico que puede ser leído por los integrantes de una subcultura y, en consecuencia, puede ser diseccionado a partir de un ejercicio interpretativo. Decimos lo anterior en función de que la misma cultura, siguiendo a Millán (2001: 23), puede considerarse como un sistema de lenguaje articulado. Sobra decir que las significaciones corporales son una construcción social, por lo que su edificación varía de acuerdo con los ritmos históricos de aparición del saber y las tradiciones singulares de la cultura (Fournier y Jiménez, en prensa; Foucault, 1999).

  Title Política cultural neoliberal y la música heavy metal en la ciudad de Huánuco, Perú, 1990-2010 Type Journal Article
  Year 2013 Publication Investigaciones Sociales Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 17 Issue 30 Pages 279-290  
  Keywords Dialectica; politica cultural neoliberal; subculturas; musica heavy metal; Sociology; Latin America; Non-Western scenes; Perú  
  Abstract Este estudio estuvo orientado a identificar las bondades que tienen el método hegeliano en los diferentes aspectos de la política y la música con la finalidad de analizar su relación. En tal sentido se planteó los siguientes objetivos: determinar la relación entre la política cultural neoliberal2 y la música heavy metal3, analizar su desarrollo y sus características. Se hizo uso de la encuesta y la entrevista los que se aplicaron a una muestra no probabilística de 30 jóvenes (de 18 a 35 años de edad) metaleros de Huánuco. Se identificó tres generaciones: 1era. Generación de Metaleros 1990-1996 (tesis); 2da. Generación de Metaleros 1997-2003 (antítesis); 3era. Generación de Metaleros 2004-2010 (síntesis). Se evidencia la existencia de una contradicción dialéctica entre la música heavy metal (la cual forma parte de una subcultura) y la cultura dominante en el mundo (en este caso la política cultural neoliberal), ambas evidencian una relación directa no solamente en el aspecto cronológico, sino en el plano ideológico.

  Title Music and aggression: Effects of lyrics and background music on aggressive behavior Type Book Whole
  Year 2016 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 57  
  Keywords Aggression; Aggressive behavior; Heavy metal; Lyrics; Music; Psychology  
  Abstract Given the ever-growing popularity of music in daily life, it is of the utmost importance to understand how it influences affect, cognition, and behavior, especially given the violence of certain genres of music. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between music and behavior, specifically to examine how the lyrics and background music interact to influence affective hostility and aggressive behavior. Data were collected from a sample of 168 students (61% Female; MAge = 19.24, SD = 2.470) at a large, private, Midwestern university to investigate this relationship. The music was manipulated by randomly assigning the participant to listen to one of four versions of a song. These versions included the match of either antisocial or prosocial lyrics with heavy metal or calm background music.

Although there was no significant main effect of the lyrical content on participant’s aggressive behavior as hypothesized, there was a significant main effect of the lyrical content on an individual’s level of affective hostility F(4,159) = 8.818, p < .001, η 2</super> = .186. Specifically, pairwise comparisons showed antisocial lyrics resulted in a higher level of hostility as compared to the prosocial lyrics. This pattern suggests that music influences an individual’s affective hostility, but counter to previous research, music does not necessarily alter aggressive behavior. The relationship between music and aggression requires further investigation in order to determine whether music does in fact influence behavior, including potential moderators of this relationship.

  Title I See The Horse Type Book Whole
  Year 2016 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 490  
  Keywords Communication and the arts; Creative writing; Fantasy literature; Fiction; Heavy metal  
  Abstract I See the Horse is a fantasy novel that follows the adventures of Komar Voorhexees of Port Karpricius during a time of civil war within The Ten Kingdoms of the Enlibar Empire. The primary focus or super objective of the novel centers on the pursuit of a religious artifact, The Tear of Vashanka, and the delivery of documents important to the war cause.

The novel follows story telling lessons from Twain, Vonnegut, Robert Mckee, and Orson Scott Card. The novel also mixes elements from canonical masters such as Homer, Shakespeare, and Joyce with genre-champions such as J.R.R. Tolkien, R.E. Howard, and G.R.R. Martin, as well as components of heavy metal music. The result lies squarely between the subgenres of Sword and Sorcery and High (Epic) Fantasy. The first six chapters fit into the Sword and Sorcery category; whereas, the second dives into Epic Fantasy as the protagonist slowly becomes part of the bigger milieu.

The novel was created to have an original, gritty, realistic world with an American feel and flavor and a fantasy city drenched in the culture of the American South. To create a fantasy novel with an American feel was the projects initial purpose and drive. This is accomplished by drawing heavily upon the author’s life and experience.

  Title Metal health: Measuring depression and anxiety within the heavy metal community Type Book Whole
  Year 2016 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 41  
  Keywords Anxiety; Depression; Heavy Metal; Mental Health; Mental illness; Music; Psychology; Rock Music  
  Abstract Heavy metal has a long and controversial history. One of the many things it has been blamed for is causing mental illness among its listeners. However, is the music to be blamed or are there other factors coming into play? Numerous studies have been done on various aspects of heavy metal such as its link to violence, but few have been done on mental health within the community. This paper replicated a French study examining levels of depression and anxiety within the community. Forty three participants, all active metal listeners, completed a survey examining various factors such as employment status and education levels, and completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Like the French study, it found that participants had generally low levels of depression and anxiety, but high levels were linked to outside factors. Hopefully, this will help open the floor for more valuable research on the community.

  Title Heavy South: Identity, Performance, and Heavy Music in the Southern Metal Scene Type Book Whole
  Year 2016 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 80  
  Keywords American south; American studies; Communication and the arts; Film studies; Heavy metal; Musicology; Popular music; Subculture  
  Abstract The Southern Metal scene depends heavily on the performance of a Southern Identity. While considerable research has been done on other musical genres and scenes from the American South (country music, blues, gospel music), less attention has been given to the extreme metal scene of Southern Metal. Using scholarship of Nadine Hubbs, Philip Auslander, Jefferey C. Alexander, and Keith Kahn Harris, among others, I analyze two films, Slow Southern Steel (2010) and NOLA: Life, Death, and Heavy Blues from the Bayou (2014), and one song, Down’s “Eyes of the South” as cultural productions of this Southern Metal scene. In this project, I define the musical elements and scene ethos of Southern Metal as they relate to a wider, more mainstream American audience and describe how these identities and cultural forms are produced, negotiated, and embodied.

  Title Musical Intensity in Affect Regulation: Uncovering Hope and Resilience Through Heavy Music Type Book Whole
  Year 2016 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 141  
  Keywords Communication and the arts; Clinical psychology; Emotion regulation; Heavy metal; Heavy music; Plasticity; Resilience; Self-destructive behavior  
  Abstract This thesis discusses the nature of music’s impact on identity, subjectivity, and the self. To better understand music’s role in promoting hope and resilience, I pinpoint how heavy, intense, and highly emotive music applied over distinct listening practices impacts the regulation of affect and self-destructive impulses in individuals who suffer from trauma, mental illness, or self-destructive behavior. This research also investigates the characteristic of intensity often found in heavy music that seems (despite intuition) to ease negative or painful emotions, circumvent impulses to self-harm, and propel one to positive action.

Of particular interest to this project are the ways both heavy and non-genre specific music listeners use various listening strategies in the regulation and modulation of negative affect and emotion. Specifically highlighted are the three strategies defined by Saarikallio (2008) in the Music in Mood Regulation (MMR) scale of using music to cope with negative mood states: Diversion, where music is used to distract from negative thoughts and feelings, Solace, where music is used for comfort, acceptance, and understanding when feeling sad or troubled, and Discharge, where anger or sadness are released through music.

Through review and analysis of existing literature, qualitative research, and in-depth case studies, this thesis illuminates the ways musically-afforded emotion-regulation strategies allow subjects to meet, shape, and transform their difficult experiences by establishing hope and resilience that strengthens one’s ontological security and sense of self.

  Title Nicodemus! The beds are burning again: The ascension of Gorgomath Type Book Whole
  Year 2016 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 163  
  Keywords Communication and the arts; Chamber; Concerto; Heavy metal; Musical composition; Narrative; Orchestra; Piano  
  Abstract Nicodemus! The Beds are Burning Again: The Ascension of Gorgomath is a 22-minute concerto for piano and chamber orchestra that explores the use of narrative as a means of unifying disparate musical languages into a cohesive single-movement structure. The narrative, as implied by the fourteen programmatic indicators within the score, features a protagonist, Nicodemus, and an antagonist, Gorgomath. Additional contrasting elements essential to the plot are: the burning beds, outer space, the ultimate weapon, and the three rituals. The programmatic indicators, to be listed in the program, function as a framework from which the listener can fabricate their own version of the story.

The narrative begins with “The beds are burning,” a heavy-metal inspired musical theme characterized by a pervasive rhythmic structure interspersed with virtuosic piano displays. Full orchestral forces add to the intensity of a relentless motor rhythm heard first in the piano. Following “Ritual I,” a transitionary theme of soli strings and piano, Nicodemus’s theme develops, a musical antithesis to “The Burning Beds” theme. It employs a simple melodic loop over a basic four-chord harmonic structure, reminiscent of 8-bit video game themes, and is voiced as piano accompanied by tremolo in the woodwinds and strings.

Nicodemus’s journey into space begins with a rapid deceleration in tempo. The following slow ternary form includes a funerary dirge bookended by the piece’s most lyrical piano writing, expressed by the rise and fall of melodic octaves. The pounding neo-Shostakovian strings of “Ritual II” transition directly into the development section, “Nicodemus seeks the ultimate weapon.” Nicodemus’s theme undergoes significant transformation, assuming the guise of stride piano and North Indian tabla music. These styles are unique to this section, as is their orchestration of high, sustained winds alternating with orchestral hits between low strings and percussion.

The piece’s recapitulation, “Meanwhile…,” begins with a return of the burning beds. Here, “Gorgomath’s Theme,” identifiable by the instability of its 7/16 motor rhythm is briefly foreshadowed. It appears in its entirety in the coda, “Boss Battle.”

The resulting work uses original narrative to blend polystylistic elements into a cohesive single movement structure with a dramatic musical arc.
