Abstract:
The present work shows, through the study of the Hellfest Festival - an annual heavy metal music festival that takes place in Clisson, Loire-Atlantique, France - that this music is in itself a genuine culture. In order to understand how the Hellfest Festival features in the metal community, one needs to know how it has developed since it was created, to question how it supports relationships among the festival-goers, as well as between festival-goers and artists, and to examine the part it plays as a place where a community devoid of any geographical anchorage can meet during a specific period of time. To be understood, the various socializing behaviors displayed during the festival must be reviewed in association with the particular economics implemented by the organizers, which are a part of the acknowledgement of this event and have impacts on the socializing behaviors. The organizing team has had and still has a view to take into account the festival-goers' wishes in terms of metal music sub-genders, making them actors and not only consumers, and has been able to include the local economic players. The Hellfest festival offers each and every metalhead a break within a specific space, during a defined period of time, and the opportunity to assert or reassert his or her identity through various rituals. It is a pilgrimage for the whole metal community.
