Reviews

Rosemary Overell, University of Otago:
Peripheral Linguistic Brutality is thorough-going and highly original. Based on detailed ethnographic interviews and close readings of metal lyrics and textual material, it offers a finely tuned engagement with metal music studies that is important not only for its presentation of new research on extreme metal cultural production—especially discursive production—but also for (super!)diversifying the relatively homogeneous focus in metal music studies on Western spaces.

Lydia Catedral, Hong Kong Polytechnic University:
Kruk and Robertson have written a wonderfully approachable and empirically informed sociolinguistic book about metal music across Asia Pacific. Their work makes valuable contributions to both sociolinguistic scholarship and the study of metal, and its accessible writing style and clear explanations make it a solid introduction to either subject.
