Even behind the highest mountains, in the largest deserts, and on the smallest islands, there are a few brave metalheads who have formed bands, give concerts, and live the metal culture.
But what does a black metal fan feel in sunny Cuba, and what risks does it entail to play in a heavier music group in Saudi Arabia? What does a metalhead in the war-torn Lebanon think about the glorification of violence in martial song lyrics, and what is actually happening in the regional scene of Madagascar? How is the societal and political acceptance of metal in all these countries in general?
“Metalized World – In Search of a Subculture” documents the search for answers to these and many other questions surrounding the topic of metal in our truly “metalized world” down to the last corner.
The book, based on the namesake special on Metal1.info, will be published in January 2018 by Hirnkost, formerly Archiv der Jugendkulturen Verlag, at a price of 28 euros. An ebook version is also announced.
