Reshaping the discourse on women’s voices in metal music Lori Burns, Professor at The University of Ottawa, walks us her research on reshaping the discourse on women’s voices in metal music. Metal music comprises a vast global market with an enormous fan base and an expanding scholarly society (the International Society for Metal Music Studies). A 2018 study of metal music reported female participation in metal bands to be at the level of 3%, with approximately half of those women in vocalist roles (Berkers and Schaap, 2018). Scholarship on metal music affirms the genre to be dominated by male performers, with female participation beginning to grow around the turn of the new millennium.
