Abstract

Since its emergence in the late 1960s, heavy metal has witnessed a worldwide spread, including to countries of the Middle East. Modern means of media and communication systems convey its specific cultural codes to a global audience. The “new” codes and symbols get appropriated and sometimes assume contradictory meanings in local contexts.
