  Title Desolation: A Heavy Metal Memoir Type Book Whole
  Year 2024 Publication (up) 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 (up) 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 Heavy Music Mothers: Extreme Identities, Narrative Disruptions Type Book Whole
  Year 2023 Publication (up) 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.”

  Abstract <<Ehemals Musik junger Abgehängter und Outlaws, ist Heavy Metal heute mehr und mehr in der Mitte der Gesellschaft angekommen: Wohl mehr als 10 Millionen Deutsche hören Heavy Metal. Aber warum tun sie das? Was suchen und was finden sie in dieser Musik, die von Außenstehenden oft als purer Lärm empfunden wird? Warum wimmelt es im Heavy Metal nur so von Monstern und Teufeln – und wieso schweigen auch die Götter und die Engel nicht? Was erleben Metalfans, wenn sie ihre Musik hören – und welche Erfahrung treibt sie immer wieder ins Konzert? Wieso lesen sie ständig Musikzeitschriften und hören nicht auf, CDs zu kaufen? Wie ist es zu erklären, dass 40 Prozent der Metalfans behaupten, die Musik habe ihr Leben gerettet? Und warum ist Heavy Metal stärker als die Musikindustrie? Worum geht es im Heavy Metal wirklich? Diese Fragen und mehr beantwortet Hartmut Rosa in dieser kleinen Soziologie des Heavy Metal.>>

[Once the music of young socialites and outlaws, heavy metal has now become more and more mainstream in society: more than 10 million Germans listen to heavy metal. But why do they do this? What are they looking for and what do they find in this music, which outsiders often perceive as pure noise? Why is heavy metal so full of monsters and devils – and why don't the gods and angels stay silent either? What do metal fans experience when they listen to their music – and what experience drives them to go to concert again and again? Why do they keep reading music magazines and don't stop buying CDs? How can we explain the fact that 40 percent of metal fans claim that music saved their lives? And why is heavy metal stronger than the music industry? What is heavy metal really about? Hartmut Rosa answers these questions and more in this little sociology of heavy metal.]

  Abstract <<Metalbands stehen auf gewaltigen Bühnen, vor Verstärkertürmen und Tausenden wilder Fans. Sie trinken kübelweise Bier, rauschen in Tourbussen durch die Nacht und besingen Sex, Drogen und den Tod. Ihr größtes Ziel: Wacken. Alle Metalbands? Nein!

Eine kleine Metalband tingelt seit zwei Jahrzehnten über Dorffeste, Vereinsfeiern, Hochzeiten, Vernissagen und durch Geburtstagspartys. Sie hat keine Verstärker, keine Plattenfirma. Sie liefert annähernd CO2-neutralen Metal wie Pizza auf Bestellung und hätte einmal beinahe Angela Merkel beschallt. Sie singt nur übers Wetter und spielt im Sitzen, gediegen gekleidet und teetrinkend. Sie richtet sich gleichermaßen an Bildungsbürger, Mutbürger, Spießbürger. Ihr Name: Malmzeit. Ihr Genre: Kammermetal. Ihr Motto: Make Metal Small Again!

Tauchen Sie ein in die völlig irre Bandbiographie der kleinsten Metalband der Welt, verfasst von den Musikern selbst. Ein Buch voller bizarrer Ereignisse, das komplett erfunden sein könnte, wäre nicht jedes Wort wahr!>>

[Metal bands stand on huge stages, in front of amplifier towers and thousands of wild fans. They drink beer by the bucketful, rush through the night in tour buses and sing about sex, drugs and death. Your biggest goal: Wacken. All metal bands? No!

A small metal band has been playing at village festivals, club celebrations, weddings, openings and birthday parties for two decades. She has no amplifiers, no record company. It delivers almost CO2-neutral metal like pizza to order and once almost gave Angela Merkel sound. She just sings about the weather and plays while sitting, dressed dignified and drinking tea. It is aimed equally at educated citizens, courageous citizens and philistines. Her name: Malmzeit. Her genre: chamber metal. Their motto: Make Metal Small Again!

Immerse yourself in the completely crazy band biography of the smallest metal band in the world, written by the musicians themselves. A book full of bizarre events that could be completely made up if every word wasn't true!]

<<Produktbeschreibung: Ende der 1960er Jahre entwickelte sich der Hard Rock weiter zu noch härteren, schnelleren Klängen. Die ersten Alben von “Black Sabbath” gelten gemeinhin als die Geburtsstunde des Heavy Metal. Obwohl wiederholt totgesagt, ist diese Musikrichtung bis heute ungemein erfolgreich und hat sich in mehrere hundert Subgenres ausdifferenziert. Einst drückte die laute und aggressive Musik den Unmut der sozial Abgehängten am gesellschaftlichen Rand aus, doch inzwischen hören auch viele Akademiker und Wohlhabende Metal. Heute wie damals geht es für die eingefleischten Metal-Fans längst nicht nur um die Musik, sondern vielmehr um ein Lebensgefühl. Und so wird noch immer der Mythos vom Outlaw zelebriert, während die Szene schon längst mitten in der Gesellschaft angelangt ist, denn allein in Deutschland hören Millionen von Menschen diese Art Musik. Als globales Kulturphänomen zieht Heavy Metal mittlerweile mehr und mehr Aufmerksamkeit auf sich und entwickelt sich in Richtung Popkultur. Gleichzeitig beschäftigt sich die Szene oft mit Themen, die in der modernen Konsumkultur verdrängt werden. Themen wie etwa Gewalt, Angst und Tod. Jörg Scheller bringt es in der NZZ (06.07.2018) auf den Punkt: “Metal ist hart, weil das Leben hart ist und der Ponyhof nie weit entfernt vom Schlachthof. Dieser Sound fordert die Konfrontation mit der dunklen Seite, aber auch persönlichen Einsatz und Verantwortung. Erkenntnisse und Entscheidungen nimmt er niemandem ab. Stets muss Metal decodiert, interpretiert, diskutiert werden. Wie moderne Kunst ist er offen in der Bedeutung. Und genau deshalb umstritten.”

Insofern ist es keine Überraschung, dass dieses Phänomen auch an den Universitäten bereits seit mehreren Jahrzehnten von diversen Disziplinen erforscht wird. Eine Unzahl hochinteressanter Studien sind das Ergebnis. Allerdings werden diese meist ausschließlich in wissenschaftlichen Fachbüchern publiziert. Hier setzt unsere Reihe “Metalbook” an, die sich ganz gezielt an ein Sachbuchpublikum wendet und spannende Themen und Phänomene aus der Metal-Szene behandeln möchte.

Höchste Zeit also, die “Metalbooks” in unsere Buchläden zu bringen ...

>>

[Product description: At the end of the 1960s, hard rock continued to develop into even harder, faster sounds. Black Sabbath's first albums are generally considered to be the birth of heavy metal. Although it has repeatedly been declared dead, this style of music is still extremely successful today and has differentiated itself into several hundred subgenres. The loud and aggressive music once expressed the discontent of those left behind on the social margins, but now many academics and wealthy people also listen to metal. Today, as then, for die-hard metal fans it's not just about the music, but rather about an attitude to life. And so the myth of the outlaw is still celebrated, while the scene has long since reached the heart of society, because in Germany alone millions of people listen to this type of music. As a global cultural phenomenon, heavy metal is now attracting more and more attention and developing into pop culture. At the same time, the scene often deals with topics that are suppressed in modern consumer culture. Topics such as violence, fear and death. Jörg Scheller sums it up in the NZZ (July 6, 2018): “Metal is hard because life is hard and the pony farm is never far from the slaughterhouse. This sound demands confrontation with the dark side, but also personal commitment and He doesn't take responsibility for insights and decisions from anyone. Metal always has to be decoded, interpreted and discussed.

In this respect, it is no surprise that this phenomenon has been researched by various disciplines at universities for several decades. The result is a multitude of highly interesting studies. However, these are usually published exclusively in scientific textbooks. This is where our “Metalbook” series comes in, which is aimed specifically at a non-fiction audience and aims to cover exciting topics and phenomena from the metal scene.

So it's high time to bring the ”Metalbooks" into our bookstores...]

  Title Highway to Hell: Das Satanische im Heavy Metal Type Book Whole
  Year 2024 Publication (up) Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 166  
  Keywords  
  Abstract <<Produktbeschreibung: Schwarze Messen, Satanismus, Teufelskult – das Satanische hat im Rock 'n' Roll seit jeher einen festen Platz. Jedenfalls warnen konservative Kräfte bereits seit den 1950er Jahren vor dem teuflischen Einfluss der Rockmusik auf Jugend, Kultur und Gesellschaft. Seit den 1970er Jahren kultivierte der Heavy Metal ganz bewusst sein Image als “Teufelsmusik” und zieht bis heute vielfältige kreative Impulse aus dem Satanischen.

Der Teufel selbst begegnet in Musik, Texten und Artworks als schillerndes, vielschichtig besetztes Symbol. Ob als schauerliche Horrorfigur, als provokanter Trickster oder als Idol in parareligiösen okkulten Systemen – er prägt die Ästhetik und Ideologie des Metal wie kaum eine andere Gestalt. Stets bleibt er dabei zugeich Spiegelbild sich verändernder soziokultureller Werte und Normen.

>>

[Product description: Black masses, Satanism, devil cult – the satanic has always had a firm place in rock 'n' roll. In any case, conservative forces have been warning about the devilish influence of rock music on youth, culture and society since the 1950s. Since the 1970s, heavy metal has consciously cultivated its image as “devil's music” and continues to draw diverse creative impulses from the satanic to this day.

The devil himself appears in music, lyrics and artwork as a shimmering, multi-layered symbol. Whether as a gruesome horror figure, a provocative trickster or an idol in parareligious occult systems – he shapes the aesthetics and ideology of metal like no other figure. It always remains a reflection of changing socio-cultural values ​​and norms.]
