An outstanding scientific book. Musicologist and critic-culturologist, in combination professional musician, Robert Walser offers you a deep musical, social and cultural analysis of heavy metal in the book "Rendezvous with the Devil." Rejected by critics and academics, condemned by parents and politicians, hotly received by legions of fans, fans of heavy metal music, it embraces the cultural conflicts that are the foundation of our society. Valer explores the question of how and for what purpose heavy metal is now acting, both musically and socially, while at the same time using metal to explore contemporary identities, society, gender, and power.
