When we initially proposed this chapter to the volume editors, we were intrigued by the possibility of uncovering a niche are of heavy metal music in Malaysia from the perspective of an ethnic minority. Indeed, heavy metal culture has a rich history in Malaysia, associated with the mass rural-urban migration and rapid (and unequal) economic development of the era that coincided with a proliferation of glam metal and thrash metal groups. Metal and rock are predominantly associated with Malay-Muslims, who form an ethnic and political majority in Malaysia. Thus, research on heavy metal music in Malaysia (and also neighboring Singapore and Brunei) has naturally focused on its association with "Malayness" (kemelayuan).
