Summary
"Heavy Metal Music and the Communal Experience critically examines the issue of community formation in metal music. Through theoretical reflections on communal formation and empirical research in the field, the authors focus on how metal communities are conceptualized, created, shaped, maintained, interact with their context, and address internal tensions. Scholars interested in extreme music and community formation will become familiar with this particular collective experience, now prevalent throughout the world"--
