The internet and the construction of a transnational Christian metal music scene
Abstract
Christian metal music emerged in the late 1970s as a means of evangelism among secular metal music fans. In recent years it has grown significantly and developed into a transnational Christian music-based youth culture. In addition to the music, Christian metal has adopted the metal style, rhetoric and attitude. At the same time, Christian metal is as much about religion as it is about music or style. This paper examines some of the most important ways in which Christian metal artists and fans in a number of countries all over the world have come together with the formation of a largely Internet-based transnational Christian metal music scene. Particular focus is put on the ways in which this Internet-based transnational scene supports the spreading of central discourses about the function and meaning of Christian metal as an alternative form of religious expression and Christian identity.

“Metal music is such a field, and although it has in recent years been the subject of an increasing number of high-quality studies, it has not attracted much attention among scholars of religion (for exceptions see Moberg 2008, 2009a, 2009b, Mørk 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
