Based on decades of work as a professor of literature and as a musician, Jesse Kavadlo analyzes the ways in which 1980s heavy metal aligns with and develops many of the themes prevalent in the canon of literature. In doing so, the book examines some of the contexts of 1980s heavy metal, including Cold War, the rise of MTV, and the formation of the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) and subsequent congressional hearings.

Guitars playing abrasive, discordant riffs, the thunderous double-kick of the drums acting like an accelerated heartbeat, and porcine, guttural vocals pummeling twisted lyrics. Courting controversy from inception to its modern day iteration, death metal presents a number of contradictions: Driven and adventurous musicians compete to make uncomfortable noises; it is crude and far beyond parody and yet consistently popular; and the music is pig-headedly uncommercial despite making a few labels, albeit briefly, wealthy.

Story0
There may be no more joyous iteration in all of music than 1980s hard rock. It was an era where the musical and cultural ideals of rebellion and freedom of the great rock 'n' roll of the '50s, '60s, and '70s were taken to dizzying heights of neon excess. Attention to songcraft, showmanship, and musical virtuosity (especially in the realm of the electric guitar) were at an all-time high, and radio and MTV were delivering the goods en masse to the corn-fed children of America and beyond.

Doomed to Fail explores the heaviest music the world has ever heard, tracing doom, sludge, and post-metal as their own distinct (and incredibly loud) traditions. Anselmi covers the bands and musicians that have impacted those styles most - Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Melvins, Eyehategod, Godflesh, Neurosis, Saint Vitus, and many others - while diving into the cultural doom that has spawned such music, from the bombing of Birmingham and hurricane devastation of New Orleans to glaring economic inequality, industrial alienation, climate change, and widespread addiction.

Schwarze Messen, Satanismus, Teufelskult - das Satanische hat im Rock 'n' Roll seit jeher einen festen Platz. Jedenfalls warnen konservative Kräfte bereits seit den 1950er Jahren vor dem teuflischen Einfluss der Rockmusik auf Jugend, Kultur und Gesellschaft. Seit den 1970er Jahren kultivierte der Heavy Metal ganz bewusst sein Image als "Teufelsmusik" und zieht bis heute vielfältige kreative Impulse aus dem Satanischen. Der Teufel selbst begegnet in Musik, Texten und Artworks als schillerndes, vielschichtig besetztes Symbol.

Ehemals Musik junger Abgehängter und Outlaws, ist Heavy Metal heute mehr und mehr in der Mitte der Gesellschaft angekommen: Wohl mehr als 10 Millionen Deutsche hören Heavy Metal. Aber warum tun sie das? Was suchen und was finden sie in dieser Musik, die von Außenstehenden oft als purer Lärm empfunden wird? Warum wimmelt es im Heavy Metal nur so von Monstern und Teufeln - und wieso schweigen auch die Götter und die Engel nicht? Was erleben Metal-Fans, wenn sie ihre Musik hören - und welche Erfahrung treibt sie immer wieder ins Konzert.

Zur Einstimmung auf laute Tage und lange Nächte präsentiert Nico Rose vom "Ministerium für Schwermetall" erhellende Erkenntnisse rund um die Psychologie des Metalheads. In "Hard, Heavy & Happy" gehen wir der Frage auf den Grund, wie Metal das Leben bereichert und einfach glücklich macht – oder manchmal: etwas weniger unglücklich. Wir werfen einen meist heiteren, bisweilen aber auch melancholischen Blick auf die besonderen Sitten und Gebräuche der Szene. Als Psychologe beleuchtet Nico Rose insbesondere die seelisch-emotionale Seite dieser außergewöhnlichen Musik.

A veteran music journalist explores how four legendary rock bands—KISS, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, and Starz—laid the foundation for two diametrically opposed subgenres: hair metal in the '80s and grunge in the '90s. It was the age when heavy-footed, humorless dinosaurs roamed the hard-rock...
