Abstract
This article deals with the development of local metal scenes in Africa and Asia in relation to the metal mainstream. The article addresses the problem of Western centrism in the current perception of metal music and introduces researchers to the current interests of non-Western music scenes. The article also proposes a psychosocial perspective on local metal scenes and, at the same time, the imaginary global metal community.
