This book considers the multiple ways in which 'Australianness' has been experienced, imagined, and contested throughout historical periods, within particular subgenres, and across localised metal scenes. In doing so, the collection not only explores what can be meant by Australian metal, but what can be meant by 'Australian' more generally. With chapters from researchers and practitioners across Australia, each chapter maps the distinct ways in which 'Australianness' has been grappled with in the identities, scenes, and cultures of heavy metal in the country. Authors address the question of whether there is anything particularly 'Australian' about Australian metal music, finding that often the 'Australianness' of Australian metal is articulated through wider, mythologised archetypes of national identity. However, this collection also reveals how Australianness can manifest in metal in ways that can challenge stereotypical imaginings of national identity, and assert new modes of being metal 'downungerground'.
Reviews / Votes
This volume brings together seven chapters by music, media studies, and other researchers from Australia, the UK, and New Zealand, who consider how national identity impacts the scenes, cultures, and practices of heavy metal in Australia. They explore masculine genealogies and trajectories, particularly the key characteristics of heavy metal in its early days in Australia, the development of extreme metal scenes in the late 1980s, and how trajectories of Australian masculinity emerged in contemporary settings and the subgenre of metalcore; local scenes in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth, with discussion of female metal musicians and grindcore; and cultures of resistance in Australian metal, including the Muslim blackened death metal band Hazeen and its response to Islamophobia, and the environmental concerns and ecological anxieties of Australian metal. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview.com) *More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
