Call for Papers
It is about time, that with a growing critical
interest in the music and culture of heavy metal,
a conference be held to explore, critique
and bang heads on what this long standing movement
is about, where it is going and what it has to
offer, politically, socially and philosophically.
Characterised by extremes, it is a music movement
that has a range of lifestyles attached to it,
comprising of quite disparate and radically
different views amongst both fans and its
progenitors. Recent publications such as Bill
Irwin's edited Metallica and Philosophy: A Crash
Course in Brain Surgery (2007), documentary films
and past texts such as Deena Weinstein's 1991
Sociological study Heavy Metal The Music and its
Culture and Keith Kahn Harris' Metal Studies
site indicate a continuous, serious interest in
Heavy Metal.
