Trends of Anashid Usage in Da‘esh Video Messaging and Implications for Identifying Terrorist Audio and Video
This article examines how Da‘esh utilizes anashid (“Islamic songs” or “recitation”) as soundtrack elements within its video messaging, focusing primarily on a sample set of 755 videos released in 2015. The authors also present the development of an automatic content recognition (ACR) tool that enabled them to engage this large data set. The article then explores the possibilities of ACR for the identification of terrorist audio and video, utilizi…

This essay addresses this gap in recent metal scholarship by examining issues of sound, text and identity in one of the most influential and popular metal bands of the post-grunge era, Korn. I …
Sound Targets
This study explores three ways in which music is used by American soldiers involved in the Iraq war: as an inspiration for combat, as a psychological tactic, and as a form of soldiers' expression. My analysis focuses on the popular music genres of metal and rap, because these styles appear to be used prominently in relation to these three areas of study. Like other popular music genres, metal and rap are part of a larger system of cultural belief…
