Title Lodes of Metal: The Texture and Sound of Memory in Latin American Heavy Metal Documentaries Type Book Chapter
Year 2022 Publication Music, Sound, and Documentary Film in the Global South Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 89-112
Keywords Latin America; Documentary films
Abstract Description of entire book:

“Music, Sound, and Documentary Film in the Global South, edited by Christopher L. Ballengee, represents an important step toward thinking about the production and analysis of the soundscapes of documentary film, all while exploring a range of social, cultural, technological, and theoretical questions relevant to current trends in Global South studies. Written by a diverse set of authors, including filmmakers, academics, and cultural critics, the ten essays in this book provide fresh evaluations of the place of music and sound in documentary films outside the European-American milieu. On the whole, the authors illuminate how the invention of documentary film was at first a product of the colonialist project.

Yet over time, access to filmmaking technologies led to the creation of documentary films relevant for local communities and national identities. In this sense, documentary film in the Global South might be broadly defined as a mode of personally or politically mediated storytelling that, by one route or another, has become a useful and recognizable means of memorializing traumatic histories and critiquing everyday lived experience. As the essays in this volume attest, close readings of documentary soundscapes provide fresh perspectives on ways of hearing and ways of being heard in the Global South.” (source: Lexington Books)

Title Frost, Blood and a Thousand Lakes: Representing Finnishness in Metal Lyrics Type Book Whole

Keywords black metal, discourse, Finland, representation, articulation, national identity, the narrative of the nation, metal lyrics
Abstract << Tutkielmassani selvitän, millaisena suomalaisuus artikuloituu viime vuosien kansainväliselle yleisölle suunnatussa, englanninkielisessä metallilyriikassa. Tutkielmani pohjaa teoreettisesti ajatukselle, että kansallista kulttuuria ja identiteettiä rakennetaan ja tuotetaan diskursiivisesti. Benedict Anderson luonnehtii valtiota kielen avulla kuviteltuna ja määriteltynä yhteisönä. Kansallinen diskurssi tuottaa yhteisöllisyyttä, se määrittelee ”meidät” erityislaatuisina. Kansallisvaltio on käsitteenä historiallisesti suhteellisen uusi, ja jokainen kansakunta on kulttuurisesti hybridi. Silti diskurssin avulla kansakunnasta luodaan representaatio, joka esittää sen olleen olemassa jo määrittelemättömän kauan, ja joka esittää sen olevan kulttuurisesti homogeeninen.

Stuart Hallin teorioima ”kansallinen narratiivi” on metafora, joka asettaa kaikki tiettyä kansallisuutta kuvaavat esitykset yhteyteen. Niistä syntyy kansallinen kertomus, jossa painottuvat usein toistetut kansallisuutta kuvaavat elementit, viitteet ja symboliikka. Mitä enemmän jotain kuvausta toistetaan, sitä itsestään selvempänä se alkaa näyttäytyä, ja sitä vaikeampi se on haastaa, vaikka se ei vastaisikaan totuutta. Tässä piilee diskursiivisuuden voima. Kansalliseen keskusteluun osallistuvat saattavat toistaa vallalla olevia käsityksiä jopa tiedostamattaan.

Tutkimusaineistossani suomalaisuuden elementit; symbolit ja erilaiset viittaukset artikuloituvat metallilyriikan aineksiksi. Kontekstualisointi on keskeisin tekniikkani analysoidessani lyriikoita, tästä syystä myös Deena Weinsteinin teoria metallidiskurssista on oleellinen osa teoriapohjaani. Jotkin viittaukset paljastavat monitahoisen merkityksensä vain, kun ne luetaan asetettuna metallidiskurssin ja kansallisen diskurssin leikkauskenttään. Aineistokseni olen valinnut seitsemän laulun lyriikat, joista jokainen lähestyy suomalaisuutta hieman eri näkökulmasta ja eri painotuksin. Jokainen laululyriikoista muodostaa omanlaisensa kuvan suomalaisuudesta.

Pohdin tutkielmassani lyriikoiden ”kertojien” positioitumista suhteessa suomalaisuuteen. Lyriikoiden suomalaisuus artikuloituu suhteessa toisiin kansallisuuksiin, mutta myös suhteessa valtion sisäiseen dynamiikkaan. Tärkeitä viitekehyksiä ovat kansallisessa diskurssissa keskeiset ja myös perinteiset: kansakunnan näkeminen perheenomaisena, valtion näkeminen kotina, kansallinen luonto ja kansallismaisema, mentaliteetti, sekä poliittinen historia. Lopuksi pohdin vaikutteita, jotka näyttävät kumpuavan kansallislaulugenrestä; tutkimusaineistoni metallilyriikoilla ja Maamme-laululla on yllättävän paljon yhteistä. >>

Author Morton, Mark; Opipari, Ben
Title Desolation: A Heavy Metal Memoir Type Book Whole
Year 2024 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 320
Keywords Lamb of God; autobiography; biography; New wave of American heavy metal
Abstract “A gritty, revealing heavy metal memoir by Lamb of God’s lead guitarist and co-lyricist, which explores both his life in music and his tumultuous path through addiction and into recovery.

DESOLATION is the story of Morton's lifelong quest for clarity and self-acceptance, and shows how the pressures of career success and personal battles eventually came into conflict with Morton's dedication to the creative process. Intertwined with addiction, self-destruction, and the path to eventual surrender and recovery, Morton also reveals the greatest personal tragedy of his life: the death of his two-day old daughter, plunging Morton further into hopelessness. Surrounded by bandmates living their wildest dreams, Morton wanted nothing more than to disappear, ingesting potentially lethal cocktails of drugs and alcohol into his system on a daily basis.

And yet, amidst the harrowing heartbreak, there were moments of triumph, hope, and incredible personal connection. Morton developed close relationships with his bandmates and crew members, sharing experiences that have made for some strange and hilarious tales. He's also gained a greater sense of purpose through interactions with his fans, who remind him that his work reaches people on a deeply personal level. Through the highs and the lows, Morton learns how to find presence and gratitude where he once found fear and resentment, a process that he considers a gift of spiritual awakening.

DESOLATION is, at its core, about Morton's journey as a musician navigating self doubt, anxiety and the progressive disease of addiction, and ultimately finding relative serenity. Perfect for fans, new and old, as well as anyone who has ever been tested and brought to their limits, DESOLATION is a highly-satisfying, full-throttle investigation of the human experience. ”

Title Electric Wizards: A Tapestry of Heavy Music, 1968 to the Present Type Book Whole
Year 2021 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 480
Keywords
Abstract “It began with the Beatles’ “Helter Skelter.” It was distilled to its dark essence by Black Sabbath. And it has flourished into a vibrant modern underground, epitomized by Newcastle’s Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. This is the evolution of heavy music. The voyage is as varied as it is illuminating: from the lysergic blunt trauma of Blue Cheer to the locked grooves of Funkadelic, the aural frightmares of Faust to the tectonic crush of Sleep, alighting on post-punk, industrial, grunge, stoner rock, and numerous other genres along the way.

Ranging from household names to obscure cult heroes and heroines, Electric Wizards demonstrates how each successive phase of heavy music was forged by what came before, outlining a rich and eclectic lineage that extends far beyond the usual boundaries of heavy rock or heavy metal. It extols those who did things differently, who introduced something fresh and exciting into this elemental tradition, whether by design, accident, or sheer chance. In doing so, Electric Wizards weaves an entirely new tapestry of heavy music.” (source: Reaktion Books)

Title A Man Behind Everything? Motivational Sources of Metal Listening Among Female Audiences Type Journal Article
Year 2022 Publication Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis: Studia de Cultura Abbreviated Journal
Volume 14 Issue 3 Pages 101-121
Keywords
Abstract “The term “female metalhead” may sound rather abstract. What does she look like and what does she think? Is there a typical female metalhead? This article summarizes qualitative research on woman’s motivational resources for participation in the contemporary Czech metal subculture. It discusses factors related to why women listen to metal and the role of men in this process. The research is based on seventeen semi-structured interviews with women in Czech metal. Respective research questions focus on female metalheads’ understanding of their position inside the subculture, their visual appearance, reasons for inclination to metal (e.g., partner’s influence or an attraction to the metal community), the issue of sex symbols in the metal industry, and issues of elitism and exclusivity. Results show that women within the metal subculture strike a balance between masculinity and femininity and often judge their surroundings from the perspective on these two poles. However, the primary inspiration still drives from the male perspective with its typical visual and musical characteristics.”

“This article is a reworked version of Gabriela Stašová’s paper Za vším hledej muže? Motivační zdroje poslechu metalu u ženského publika (A man behind everything? Motivational sources of metal listening among female audiences) presented at the 5th Czech Conference about Metal (Brno, 2021) on the theme scenes, gender, identities. Due to its topic, the conference (with Stašová’s contribution in particular) received a broad response from the public and aroused controversy within a sector of Czech metal subculture. The controversy centered on the perception that the study of gender problematics (gender studies) and metal studies – as well as the social sciences and humanities in general-–are useless pursuits (see Miroslav Vrzal’s article in this issue)” (Source for both: this article)

Title Heavy Music Mothers: Extreme Identities, Narrative Disruptions Type Book Whole
Year 2023 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 152
Keywords
Abstract “Heavy Music Mothers: Extreme Identities, Narrative Disruptions is an exploration of women and heavy music and the ways in which women have historically engaged with musicking as mothers. Julie Turley and Joan Jocson-Singh, musicking mothers themselves, largely employ an ethnographic lens, foregrounded in powerful one-on-one original interviews as vignettes that narrate thematic patterns. Other chapters examine motherhood identity embedded in respective published rock music memoirs, discussions of rock performance as a site of maternal bonding, and themes that arise when heavy music mothers write about motherhood. Autoethnographic portions throughout give the book an intimate and personal tone: one such chapter presents the concept of vigilante motherhood within an auto-ethnographic context.

The authors reference the book’s limitations, meditating on historically marginalized moms the authors predict and hope the focus will be on for the future. Heavy Music Mothers is a robust study of women and motherhood set within a music culture historically inhospitable to both women and mothers. This book, the first scholarly study of this topic, is just the beginning.”
