An international study of metal music communities and subcultures.

This edited volume expands the research in the field of metal studies by examining metal music communities around the world, from Dayton, Ohio, to Estonia to post-apartheid South Africa and beyond. The chapters are detailed, richly embedded in local histories and contexts, and provide important analyses of their respective scenes. The diversity of the chapters connects metal to other disciplines in the music field and a foreword by Henkka Seppälä, former bassist of the Finnish extreme metal band Children of Bodom, accompanies the essays. Living Metal is a groundbreaking contribution to the field, with much appeal for fans and scholars of metal music as well as those in the fields of anthropology, musicology, and history.

Industry Reviews

'As heavy metal is diversifying within a music culture in which active fan participation is crucial in cementing its longevity, these books are not just an excellent read for casual metal fans, but important for present and future heavy music scholars. [...] These books demonstrate not just how the music is produced and performed within non-Western countries, but also how the genre and culture serve to strengthen the global heavy music community.'

Reviewed alongside Decolonial Metal Music in Latin America.

-- Laina Dawes, The Wire

'In the introduction Bardine and Stueart suggest eight questions for scholars interested in doing future research in the global metal scene. As the editors suggest, Living Metal offers readers new tools and methods to pursue these questions. - Recommended.'
