Tański, P. (2023). Bruce Dickinson sings the song “Senjutsu”. Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis. Studia De Cultura, 15(4), 19–30.
Abstract: “This article is an attempt to interpret the Iron Maiden song “Senjutsu,” which is one of the most important on the album of the same title (2021). The thesis of the study is that in this work, the textual and musical persona – the performative subject of this text – tries to relate an extreme, borderline, liminal experience resulting from assuming the status of a war defender, forced to fight the invader. It can be said, paraphrasing the title of the classic book by Barbara Major (2013), that Dickinson sings the symbolic habitus of Athena in a Leather Jacket – Explosion of Metal Music Fury Affect. This metaphor for the fury of the Greek goddess of war is present in the work of Iron Maiden. The hypothesis to be verified is the degree of presence of this issue in the output of the English team; the research problem is, how was the subject of war dealt with in the texts of Steve Harris’s works?”

Draus, A. (2023). Retoryka wojenna i ekspresja agresji w twórczości Metalliki (z lat 1983‒1991) [War Rhetoric and the Expression of Aggression in the Works of Metallica (from 1983 to 1991)]. Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis. Studia De Cultura, 15(4), 7–18.
Abstract: “This paper firstly attempts to trace the rhetoric of war – that is, the conventionalized poetic language used primarily by writers of poetry – from ancient times to the present. Secondly, a collection of the most important rhetorical strategies, created from the analysis of this mythical imagination and its European legacy, will serve as a starting point for an interpretation of Metallica’s lyrics from their five major albums released between 1983 and 1991, and of the musical means that create the emotional power of this music.”

Abstract: << Terrorizer was the world’s leading extreme music publication from its launch in 1993 to its untimely demise in 2018. Ian Glasper was one of the few constants during the magazine’s twenty-five year reign of terror, and their main correspondent for punk, hardcore and thrash metal (not to mention the occasional death metal band and other surprises along the way), and here – for the very first time – he has collected every single interview of his that ever ran, and even a few that didn’t. >>
