Vigilante Feminism as a Form of Musical Protest in Extreme Metal Music

I’m late in posting this – blame it on the pandemic and my move cross- country but here it is. I got published in the Metal Music Studies Journal back in Fall 2019 (Volume 5, Number 2). This short paper comes out of my graduate thesis work and discusses the all female death metal band Castrator and how they engage in vigilante feminism – a theory put forth by scholar Laura D’Amore.

Enjoy!
