Do som dos tornos ao barulho dos amplificadores: o heavy metal e a cena musical da região do ABC (1980-1990)

Resumo (EN)

The presente study approaches heavy metal as a cultural phenomenon and its relationship with the music scene in the metropolitan region of the city of São Paulo known as "Grande ABC" between 1980 and 1990. Starting from studies on heavy metal (JANOTTI JUNIOR, 2004), music scene (VASCONCESLLOS, 2015) and soundscape (SCHAFER 1997, 2011), an analysis was carried out based on personal collections, periodicals and documentaries, allowing the identification of some determining factors for the introduction and consolidation of heavy metal genre in Grande ABC, taking into account the country's historical context and political landscape in the given period. The relationships between the local soundscape and its implications on the behavior of a heavy metal fans group, the “Headbangers ABC”, stands out. The study concludes that heavy metal shifts from a fad to an integral part of the local culture, incorporated into the official cultural calendar of São Bernardo do Campo city. Considering the originality of research on this subject, it is believed to have contributed to the preservation of the musical memory of the Great ABC, especially the phonographic and radiophonic. An unfoulding of this work would aim at the organization of photographic, textual and audiovisual materials with the objective of creating a database on heavy metal in the music scene of the Grande ABC.
