Schwermetallanalysen

The appeal of Heavy Metal has remained unbroken for 40 years. Metal represents a global phenomenon, centered around a love for music, despite - or perhaps because of - its often ambiguous reputation. Dietmar Elflein intensively explores Heavy Metal as a genre and examines LPs and bands that have shaped it, focusing on musical commonalities and developmental lines - the musical language of Heavy Metal. The diversity of the musical approaches studied ranges from Black Sabbath to Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, as well as Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer, but also includes the less metallic works of AC/DC, Motörhead, and Guns N' Roses.
