Abstract: "The purpose of this article is to characterize selected issues related to the tourist travels of rock and metal fans to deathspaces. In addition to outlining specific areas of rock thanatourism, the text discusses some aspects of the media components of ecrography. The symbolic elements of a metal idol’s “posthumous existence” are explored using the example of musician Ian “Lemmy”
Kilmister, who passed away in 2015. The study is a preliminary recognition of the complex phenomena that are part of this area, still not thoroughly examined in domestic popular music studies; it focuses on the problematic thanatoanthropology of metal music culture."
