Abstract:
The desire to discover the links and premises that carry Heavy Metal music with the origins of our civilization and the roots of our language, have been the most relevant elements that have marked the process of analysis, and have been forging the articulation of the thesis throughout its elaboration. Heavy Metal is a strongly vital and energetic music, and the mythological elements are conductors of this vitality that they generate. Certain historical and cultural movements and periods maintain a transgressive link that is manifested through magical elements and mythology, in a form of alienation from the world, but also as a way of expressing oneself in a vindictive and progressive way. Classical Greek thought is part of the essence of the message conveyed by the bands, especially from the Dionysian impulse, and the language from which they communicate is symbolic and socializing. Judeo-Christian thought is intrinsic to Heavy Metal, and manifests itself in bands in both the profane and the sacred realm.
