Heavy Metal, European Culture, & the Alternative Right
Taki’s Magazine has been running some interesting articles on the connections between Heavy Metal music, European culture, and the alternative right.
The discussion began with Alex Kurtagic’s “White Noise” (October 19, 2009), which we have already linked on this site.
Followups include:
R. J. Stove, “That’s Professor Ozzy Osbourne to You!” (November 7, 2009)
Devin Reid Saucier’s reply to Stove (November 7, 2009)
Alex Kurtagic’s “Volk the System!” (November 11, 2009)
And finally there is Nina Kouprianova’s “Death (Metal) of the West” (November 12, 2009)
Check out our own Christopher Donovan’s article on his experiences at an AC/DC concert: “Implicit Whiteness, with Pyrotechnics: Or, the Night White People Took over Washington, DC” from The Occidental Observer (November 18, 2008).
Also, the Fall 2009 issue of The Occidental Quarterly will feature a major essay by Alex Kurtagic: “Black Metal: Conservative Revolution in Popular Culture.”
