This book explores how metal's medievalizing epicism connects with pop culture and politics. Focusing on medieval Hispanic epic themes, it examines whether and how bands address the sexist, racist, nationalist, and exclusionary undertones tied to medievalizing epicism, and what this means for the broader metal scene.
