This thesis conducts a cultural analysis examining the claim of metal music being gendered as masculine. An autophenomenographical approach is taken and carried out through an affective analysis combined with a feminist analysis of sound. By studying the author’s own perception of industrial metal, this research looks at the effect and affect that this genre of music can have on a woman, as well as inquires whether it is necessary to label the genre with binary gender terms such as masculine or feminine. The presented conclusions also encourage the question to be posed in relation to a broader spectrum of music.
