Description
Summary:This essay examines the trajectory and the major milestones in "cursing God" in the extreme metal scene. The goal of this work is to begin a more honest conversation about the relationships between God, Satan and extreme metal that goes beyond media sensationalism. Three categories of "cursing God" in the extreme metal scene are presented and these are intended to act as a springboard for continued discourse and discussion that grants further elaboration on the intent and philosophies of the artists.
Cet article étudie l’évolution et les points de repère importants du "maudire Dieu" dans le milieu du métal extrême. L’objectif de ce travail est de proposer une conversation plus honnête quant aux relations qui unissent Dieu, Satan et le métal extrême, afin de dépasser le sensationnalisme médiatique. Trois catégories du "maudire Dieu" dans le milieu du métal extrême sont présentées et celles-ci ont pour but d’agir comme un tremplin vers un discours sur le long terme et une discussion qui permette d’élaborer quant à l’intention et à la philosophie des artistes.
