  Title Are Heavy Metal Music Bands-Musicians, Managers of Their Own Music Business?: A Multiple Case Study: Portuguese vs. Finnish Bands Type Book Whole
  Year 2013 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 216  
  Keywords Heavy Metal Music, Music Industry, Band Management, Entrepreneurship, Artistic Integrity  
  Abstract “The Music Industry is a very complex world that embraces different and broad segments needing of academic exploration. The big majority of studies and/or academic approaches to this unique business world have been focusing greatly on the record labels side but have failed to address the role of those who make the music – the musicians/artists. This is exactly what the present study aimed to understand: What is the role of the musicians in the music business? Aren’t they one of the key elements, essential players, within the whole industry, if not the most important elements ever?

The industry of music includes a large number of creative and wise musicians/bands behind one of the most discriminated music genres in the music history – Heavy Metal Music. However, diverse studies have demonstrated that Heavy Metal is recognized as a music genre that generates profit, with an increasing legion of fans all over the world hence, also considered popular music. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand how Heavy Metal Music bands and musicians succeed and how they manage to conciliate artistic creativity and commercial demands. By making a multiple case study analysis within two different settings – Portugal versus Finland – it will be shown that Heavy Metal bands / musicians possess business skills that allow them to manage and conduct both the artistic and business activities of their music business. In some of the cases, it will also be raised their entrepreneurial skills in innovating and finding new ways of reaching the audience and becoming more successful whilst doing what they love the most – making music and playing it live.”

  Title Unveiling Extreme Metal Festival Producers: The Emergence of Narrative Identities Type Book Whole
  Year Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 136  
  Keywords Communication and the arts; Social sciences; Extreme metal; Festivals; Narrative identity; Narrative inquiry; Tourism; Cultural resources management; Sociology; Labor relations  
  Abstract “Extreme Metal is a form of dark tourism and leisure activity whose artistic radicalism and underground scenes invoke intense debates from musicians as well as audiences. Traditional cultural studies have assumed that its disenfranchised and transgressive music expressions are an ideological resistance to increasing homogeneities of industrialized society. As such, considering the nature of festivals as a mechanism where culture is created and transmitted, the operations and promotions of Extreme Metal festivals are inevitably engaged in the wider cultural politics of Extreme Metal. The roles of festival producers thus must be emphasized, who act as powerful agents in engaging artists, developing audiences, arranging programs, and so forth. Indeed, no festivals can be simply described as improvised events – they are carefully programmed, planned, and constructed for audiences to hear and see. With this in mind, this study serves to explore the experiential predicament of these culturally embedded event producers.

In particular, the identities of the festival producers compose the focus of investigation for this research. That is, considering the contested contexts that are at play in shaping the very existence of Extreme Metal, the producers are constantly acting as intermediaries between these contexts. The discursive practice by which they give meaning to their festival production practices, contain profound dissonance between 'what they imagine their selves to be' and 'what they actually are’ as related to their turbulent ‘referential world’ of Extreme Metal festival production.

With this in mind, this study employs the theoretical framework of narrative identity in the examination of the ‘referential world’ by which identities are related. Narrative identity is considered as an approach to understand how people resolve themselves, life events, actions, and other forces in their life. Considering that a self, in narrative, is given meaning through the narrator’s relation of the self to their referential world, analyzing the narrative moments where conflicting contexts are at play provides a sensitization to the struggle of Extreme Metal cultural transgression within festival production. Specifically, it is learned how this tourism is considered ‘dark’. In doing so, three main research questions are asked: 1). How can we understand the festival producers’ identities as negotiated and emerged from the interview narratives? 2). In regards to the festival producers’ identities, what socio-cultural forces in relation to the apparatus of Extreme Metal are involved? 3). How do such findings illuminate the makings of tourism festivals at large?”

  Title On Extremity: From Music to Images, Words, and Experiences Type Book Whole
  Year 2023 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 290  
  Keywords  
  Abstract “On Extremity: From Music to Images, Words, and Experiences brings together transdisciplinary scholarship on sounds, images, words, and experiences (human and non-human) to reflect on the polysemic and polymorphic characteristics of extremity and the category of the extreme. The editors and authors aim to contribute to a living, breathing, and expanding definition of extremity that helps us understand what we gain, or lose, when we interact with it, create it, and share it with, or force it upon, others. The volume calls for the emergence of “extremity studies” as an area of perusal to help us navigate our current global condition.”

  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
  Year 2012 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  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. >>

  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)
