This book brings together a group of contributors from Europe, North America, and the Caribbean to make a case for metal's place not merely on the periphery of our culture, but at its very heart. Contributors attend not merely to the music, but also to the accompanying culture, and they offer intriguing insights into the rise of metal in places where it's traditionally been little known, like the Middle East and North Africa. The result is a global portrait of metal that asserts its importance and its ongoing contribution to culture.Heavy metal (Music)Social aspectsHeavy metal (Music)Social aspects.306.48426Elovaara Mika1558199Bardine BryanMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795304303321Connecting metal to culture3822379UNINA
