Publications Update

It has been a bit quieter on the website, but the HiMMP team has been busy with several significant developments:

New Publication Released

Our chapter "Contemporary Approaches to Metal Music Mixing and Production: Heavy Metal, Death Metal, and Metalcore" has just been published in the Routledge Handbook for Metal Music Composition. We are still finalising the open access option, so stay tuned for that.

Book Production Update

We submitted the manuscripts for the two main HiMMP books and finished the copyediting. The proofs are currently being reviewed, and the index will follow shortly. This puts us on track for a publication date in late 2025.

YouTube Content Expansion

We have gradually been releasing more videos on our YouTube channel, particularly interviews taken at Bloodstock Open Air 2023 with known figures in the metal community, including artists, managers, journalists, and concert promoters. Check them out!
