CFP 3rd Global Conference Heavy Fundametalisms: Can I Play with Madness? Metal, Dissonance, Madness and Alienation

Call for Papers
"From the outset of the forging Heavy Metal’s music and culture, madness
has been an ever present theme. From Black Sabbath’s Paranoid through
Iron Maiden’s Can I Play with Madness? to the more recent Psychosocial
chant from Slipknot, madness and mental illness are just of the few well
known examples has featured in the Metal mainstream. It is a
fascination with madness that further belches out on to the surface from
the metal underground. Madness is not confined to the lyrical and
musical expressions of the artists, but can be used to describe features
of the entire metal scene in its exuberant expression of alienation, by
individuals through to the chaotic theatre of the pit"
