I’m excited to announce that I’m joining the editorial advisory board of the Intellect journal Metal Music Studies. MMS is the official journal of the International Society of Metal Music Studies, and a wonderful hub of research activity spanning broad areas of metal music and culture.
More information can be found on the journal’s official site and the ISMMS site, which boasts the killer URL https://www.metalstudies.org/.
The official aims and scope of the journal are:
- To provide an intellectual hub for the International Society of Metal Music Studies and a vehicle to promote the development of metal music studies;
- To be the focus for research and theory in metal music studies – a multidisciplinary (and interdisciplinary) subject field that engages with a range of parent disciplines, including (but not limited to) sociology, musicology, humanities, cultural studies, geography, philosophy, psychology, history, natural sciences;
- To subject all journals to a double-blind peer-review and publish high-quality, world-class research, theory and shorter articles that cross over from the industry and the scene;
- To be a world leader in interdisciplinary studies and be a unique resource for metal music studies.
