Heavy Metal Music in Britain

Heavy metal has developed from a British fringe genre of rock music in the late 1960s to a global mass market consumer-good in the early twenty-first century. In this book, individual contributors approach British heavy metal from a textual perspective, providing critical analyses of the politics and ideology behind the lyrics, images and performances. The wide range of approaches will provide readers from various disciplines with new and original ideas about the study of this phenomenon of popular culture.
