Extreme Sounds Studies: Global Socio-Cultural Explorations

Seeing Metal Music in Latin America and the Caribbean

Nelson Varas-Díaz | Daniel Nevárez Araújo

Music / Genres & Styles / Heavy Metal

For many fans, metal was visual before it was aural. This book explores the visual dimensions of metal music from the specific socio-historic, geographic, and political positionality of Latin America and the Caribbean where this visual register allows creators and consumers to engage in four distinct strategies (i.e., seeing, revealing, inverting, and appearing) as part of what the authors have termed “extreme decolonial dialogues.” They support their position through a diverse lens that examines essential aspects of the visual dimensions of metal music: album artwork, clothing, film, sites, and activist practices.

Nelson Varas-Díaz is professor of global and sociocultural studies at Florida International University.
Daniel Nevárez Araújo is assistant professor of English at the University of Puerto Rico.
