Engaging with absence: Why is the Holocaust a ‘problem’ for metal
While genocide, killing and transgressive acts of violence are common themes in metal, there is a relative absence of metal lyrics and other ways of engaging with the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews as a theme. This stands in contrast to premodern genocides that are often the subject of fascination. Even when the Holocaust is apparently ‘celebrated’ by neo-Nazi metal acts, some of the specificities of the genocide, together with its applicability to J…
Speaking of the Holocaust: From Silence to Knowledge and Back Again
Albert Friedlander’s writings were part of a generational struggle to find a language in which to speak of the experience of the Holocaust. This struggle was, in part, a response to the ‘unspeakability’ of the Holocaust, the silence and denial of its perpetrators. As such, in the postwar period, the perpetrators of the Holocaust also struggled to find the words to speak of what they had done. This short article goes on to speculate on the implica…

Jews, race and popular music
Historically, the substantial presence of Jews in western popular music has often been invisible through the frequent tendency of Jews in popular music to work as writers and impresarios behind the

Religious Popular Music: Between the Instrumental, Transcendent and Transgressive
The use of post-rock ‘n’ roll popular music genres by religious groups is accompanied by a notable ambiguity: Is religious popular music designed to be an instrumental tool for outreach/evangelism, or does it have an intrinsic value in summoning and exploring the transcendent? The article focuses on the previously rarely explored idea that the instrumental use of popular music in Christian andJewish settings is often much more important than its …
Contemporary Anglo-Jewish community leadership: Coping With Multiculturalism1
In this article, drawing on qualitative interviews and documentary analysis, we argue that the Jewish community in Britain has undergone a fundamental shift since 1990 from a 'strategy of security', a strategy of communal leadership based on emphasizing the secure British citizenship and belonging of the UK's Jews, to a 'strategy of insecurity', where the communal leadership instead stresses an excess of security among Anglo-Jewry. We demonstrate…
Metal Studies: Intellectual Fragmentation or Organic Intellectualism
Like Deena Weinstein, I started researching metal at a time when the notion of “metal studies” as a discipline was inconceivable. Having conducted MA and PhD research between 1995 and 2001, there w
Metal Studies? Cultural Research in the Heavy Metal Scene
Given its popularity, visibility and complexity, the scholarly study of heavy metal needs no justification. Like other popular music cultures, heavy metal is a contested and controversial marker of

The ‘Failure’ of Youth Culture: Reflexivity, Music and Politics in the Black Metal Scene
This article examines an enduring question raised by subcultural studies: how youth culture can be challenging and transgressive, yet ‘fail’ to produce wider social change. This question is addressed through a case study of the black metal music scene. The black metal scene flirts with violent racism, yet has resisted embracing outright fascism. The article argues that this is due to the way in which music is ‘reflexively antireflexively’ constru…
