Who Do We Think They Are? - Deep Purple and Metal Studies

"This volume brings together a host of innovative and internationally recognised metal music scholars. It will appeal to metal scholars, musicologists, music historians, music critics and metal and hard rock fans around the globe"--

Summary

Contributions in the volume argue that it was Deep Purple's success in communicating – over the course of a series of ground-breaking studio albums and especially in live performance – with a new, younger rock audience that helped to define the genre template we now recognise as “classic” heavy metal.
