Title Introduction: Reflections on The Literary Imagination in Progressive Rock and Metal Type Book Chapter
Year 2025 Publication The Routledge Handbook of Progressive Rock, Metal, and the Literary Imagination Abbreviated Journal
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
Abstract << This an outstanding collection of chapters that explore the intersections between progressive rock, metal and the literary imagination. Each contribution here is a must-read and the editors have done an incredible job framing the

Handbook.

Karl Spracklen, PhD, AcSS

Leeds Beckett University, Portland >>

“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 Las Mujeres Músicas Metaleras: Arte, Poder y Crítica Social [Female Metal Musicians: Art, Power, and Social Criticism] Type Journal Article
Year 2025 Publication VOCES Y SABERES Abbreviated Journal
Volume 5 Issue 13 Pages 88-97
Keywords
Abstract El metal es una representación musical que se considera un arte. A pesar de que su forma y contenido contrastan con la concepción de lo que se considera “bello”, este género siempre ha estado rodeado de ritos y costumbres que delimitan la categoría del ser metalero y excluyen a todos aquellos que no cumplan con las características mínimas para ser considerados parte de ese mundo.Como arte, el metal representa múltiples problemáticas sociales, incluyendo el contexto en el que se gesta. Es por esa razón que se le llama de esa forma, pues hace alusión a la industria metalúrgica que predominaba en Birmingham, Inglaterra, la cuna del género: Tommy Iommi guitarrista de Black Sabbath y a quien se le atribuye la invención del metal, trabajaba en una empresa de ese giro.

[Metal is a musical representation considered an art form. Although its form and content contrast with the concept of what is considered “beautiful,” this genre has always been surrounded by rituals and customs that delimit the category of being a metalhead and exclude all those who do not meet the minimum requirements to be considered part of that world. As an art form, metal represents multiple social issues, including the context in which it is created. It is for this reason that it is called that, as it alludes to the metal industry that predominated in Birmingham, England, the birthplace of the genre. Tommy Iommi, Black Sabbath guitarist and credited with inventing metal, worked in a company in that field.]
