"The book is a welcome addition to the metal studies canon. Although the chapters are of varying quality, all of them contribute to current and future discussions about the role of metal music and culture in the contemporary world." (Titus Hjelm, Journal of Popular Music Education, Vol. 1 (1), 2017)

"Heavy Metal Music Studies and Popular Culture does an excellent job at describing the ever-evolving research topics in metal studies, as well as laying the foundation for forthcoming research. Heavy Metal Music Studies and Popular Culture is inclusive in its appeal: both academics and metal music fans can enjoy the book. ... Academics can use Heavy Metal Music Studies and Popular Culture as a springboard to foster new ideas as metal studies expands into more theoretical spaces."
