Metal And Musicology 2016

The first of its kind, this one-day conference offers an opportunity for scholars interested in both metal music and musicology to present current research. Musicological insights provide new perspectives on metal music culture, while the addition of metal to the musicological corpus presents alternative challenges for researchers.

By bringing together academics working in metal studies, or musicologists with an interest in metal music, the conference aims to broaden and enrich both fields of study. Following a series of 20 minute papers, the conference will close with a keynote from Mark Mynett and a studio seminar with Grammy winning engineer, producer, and musician, Mike Exeter.
