Aims and Scope

 

Metal Music Studies is the journal of the International Society for Metal Music Studies.

The aims of the journal are:

 

  • To provide an intellectual hub for the International Society of Metal Music Studies and a vehicle to promote the development of metal music studies;
  • To be the focus for research and theory in metal music studies – a multidisciplinary (and interdisciplinary) subject field that engages with a range of parent disciplines, including (but not limited to) sociology, musicology, humanities, cultural studies, geography, philosophy, psychology, history, natural sciences;
  • To publish high-quality, world-class research, theory and shorter articles that cross over from the industry and the scene;
