Volume Issue Pages 1-14
Keywords Popular music; Cultural study of popular music; Songwriting & recording; Music arts; Literary studies; Music & society; Musicology; Heavy metal; Progressive rock

“This Handbook illustrates the many ways that progressive rock and metal music forge striking engagements with literary texts and themes.

The authors and their objects of analytic inquiry offer global and diverse perspectives on these genres and their literary connections: from ancient times to the modern world, from children’s literature to epic poetry, from mythology to science fiction, and from esoteric fantasy to harsh political criticism.

The musical treatments of these literary materials span the continents from South and North America through Europe and Asia. The collection presents critical perspectives on the enduring and complex relationships between words and music as these are expressed in progressive rock and metal.

The book is aimed primarily at an academic market, valuable for second through final year students on undergraduate courses devoted to both popular music and to literary studies, and to postgraduate programs and researchers in a range of fields, including: popular music studies, musicology, creative music performance and composition, songwriting, literary studies, narrative studies, folklore studies, science fiction studies, cultural studies, liberal studies, and sociology, and for media and history courses that have an interest in the intersection of narratives, music and society.”

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 Parental Advisory-Explicit Content: The Parents Music Resource Center, Conservative Music Censorship, and the Protection of Children Type Book Whole
Year 2018 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 67
Keywords Activism; American history; Censorship; Children; Communication and the arts; Conservativism; Heavy metal; PMRC; Political science; Social sciences
Abstract Historians have long overlooked and misunderstood the Parents Music Resource Center, an activist group formed in 1985 to correct perceived excesses in heavy metal music. Scholars have focused their analyses almost exclusively on the First Amendment implications of the group’s actions, largely dismissing the PMRC in the process. This thesis argues that by expanding the historical analysis of the group to include the social and political climate of previous generations and of the 1980s, the self-stated goals of the PMRC, and a musicological discussion of heavy metal and why the group specifically targeted this genre, we can see that the PMRC was in fact an incredibly influential sociopolitical activist group that is representative of the political shift in the United States in the 1980s.

Title Metal health: Measuring depression and anxiety within the heavy metal community Type Book Whole
Year 2016 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume 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 I See The Horse Type Book Whole
Year 2016 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume 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.

Volume 26 Issue Pages 1-16
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.]
