Focus Rock: Extreme Metal

Death, Black, Doom and Experimental Metal will be
the focus of this class. We will do in-depth
analysis of selected pieces (harmony, melody,
rhythm, form, sound, lyrics) and research the
influence of contemporary classical and
experimental music on metal as well as its
position within the history of rock music.
Furthermore, we will discuss the socio-political
and philosophical aspects behind metal and the
culture surrounding it.
