Living Metal : Metal Scenes around the World
Metal Scenes around the World - book - edited by Bardine/Stueart
(2022)
This
is the first study of its kind, focusing exclusively on scenes
throughout the world; it makes an important contribution to metal
studies. Metal Scenes around the World is a collection of thirteen
chapters that examine metal scenes from smaller communities like Dayton,
Ohio in the USA, to entire countries, such as Estonia. The goal of the
book is to expand the research on metal scenes.
This
is the only book produced on metal scenes to date, and it will lead the
way to more research in this new area of metal studies. The strongest
element of the book is its international focus, with chapters from such
diverse settings as post-apartheid South Africa, Graz, Nantes, Brazil
and Turkey. The chapters are detailed, richly embedded in local
histories and contexts, and provide important analyses of their
respective scenes.
Foreword
from Henkka Seppala, former bassist with the Finnish metal band
Children Of Bodom. Primary readership will be composed of fans and
scholars of metal music, and those in the fields of anthropology,
musicology and history. The diversity of the chapters connects metal to
other disciplines in the music field and the book is likely to have
appeal more widely to anyone who likes music.
