A provocative study of the ‘thinking man’s’ metal band
Maps out the connections between Aristotle, Nietzsche, Marx, Kierkegaard, and Metallica, to demonstrate the band’s philosophical significance
Uses themes in Metallica’s work to illuminate topics such as freedom, truth, identity, existentialism, questions of life and death, metaphysics, epistemology, the mind-body problem, morality, justice, and what we owe one another
Draws on Metallica’s lyrical content, Lars Ulrich’s relationship with Napster, as well as the documentary "Some Kind of Monster"
