@PitchDiscontent @hatebreed Serves me right for not reading the piece before commenting. I guess a lesson lived is a lesson learned...

@authorajhartley Thanks for the kind words! I would have included Metal Galaxy in my chapter if words permitted, b/c I definitely have thoughts! MG sounds to me like the band/label realising what they had & how to take it further - loss of Yuimetal may have forced them to change course thereafter

We have a newly redesigned website! The URL is still https://t.co/7fLyBRVOiL, but you’ll find some new goodies there. The blog is updated and streamlined but the most exciting new feature is the Metal Studies Bibliography, a searchable database of metal scholarship.

[Lewis Kennedy @LewisFKennedy]

My chapter on NWOAHM & constructions of metal heritage/historiography has been published in the fantastic new volume 'Music and Heritage' (@routledgebooks, @Arts_Routledge), edited by @liamtmaloney and @JohnSchofYork.
