The Cambridge Companion to Metal Music
Since its beginnings more than fifty years ago, metal music has grown in popularity worldwide, not only as a musical culture but increasingly as a recognised field of study. This Cambridge Companion reflects the maturing field of 'metal music studies' by introducing the music and its cultures, as well as recent research perspectives from disciplines ranging from musicology and music technology to religious studies, Classics, and Scandinavian and …
Mesopotamian Metal
Mesopotamian metal’, which includes bands like Absu, Agga, Arallu, Bohema, Decimation, Melechesh, Svartsyn or Tiamat, is a sub-discourse and substyle of metal music that deals with the history of ancient Mesopotamia mainly thematically. Crucial here is the reference to ancient times in this region of the Middle East. The first section of this chapter gives an introduction to the concept of Mesopotamian metal. The most relevant bands are introduce…
Is metal (still) a subculture? Considerations from the perspective of cultural history
Any discussion about whether metal is or ever was a subculture is always also a discussion about metalness as an identity construction. From the perspective of a cultural historian, the author would like to introduce some possibly clarifying arguments into the debate about metal and subculture. To this end, three topics will be discussed. The first step is to look at the term subculture and its use in metal research from the perspective of cultur…
To the sources! On historical source criticism in metal studies
Metal studies is usually considered to be a fundamentally interdisciplinary field of research. However, the disciplines that were included at its beginning (mostly sociology, cultural anthropology, musicology, and philosophy) are still theoretically dominant. As a consequence, several important research questions that do not reflect these disciplines’ epistemologies have remained unanswered to this day. To a great extent, this applies to historic…

Metal Music, Sonic Knowledge, and the Cultural Ear in Europe since 1970
Research on the process of European integration is usually restricted to the political, economic and legal aspects of Europeanisation. Still, we do not know enough about "practiced Europeanisation" in terms of everyday life and popular culture. Here, Peter Pichler explores a new area of research. He links the latest insights into the cultural history of the European Union with interdisciplinary research on heavy metal as a subculture throughout E…
(Finally) Beyond ‘Ever Closer Union' and EU Centrism? A Review Essay on the Most Recent Trends in European Studies and European Integration History
What Is the European Union? A Cultural Shared Risk Community
In this commentary, the author continues his first reflections on European Union cultural history, which opened up this field and introduced the theory of ‘paradoxical coherence’. Revisiting sociological and cultural-historical works by Beck and Gumbrecht, he argues that the EU can be seen as a ‘cultural shared risk community’, the sources of identity-building and sense-making consisting of the European citizens’ shared cultural risks and fears. …
A ‘Handmade’ Historiographical Myth
European Union cultural history
In this article, the author reflects upon recent critical research on the sui generis-qualities of the European Union. He provides a proposal of theorizing European Union cultural history as a distinct field of research. So far, discourse has not been able to produce a conclusive theory of EU history. In this context, the author provides research with a first theoretical concept of EU cultural history which keeps a critical distance from EU-biase…
