Abstract
Germany has been home to a vibrant heavy metal scene since the mid-1980s. A good example is Wacken Open Air, a festival since 1989, which each year attracts 85,000 metal fans and over 100 bands from around the globe. Yet despite the huge popularity of metal music, German metal is widely ignored by national media and rarely present in music charts. Therefore, most German citizens are hardly aware of the high recognition German metal has attained elsewhere in the world.
