Marios Koutsoukos (PhD candidate in History of Religions in the Late Antiquity at the University of Liverpool (UK)) has also been involved in the international metal music scene, writing lyrics and developing concepts for bands in Greece as well as worldwide and a bass player, since 2004.
With Marios, we discuss:
- Why is metal music inspired by Greek history and mythology, more so by ancient Sparta?
- If metal music influences our perception of classic times also more recent historical events.
- Has metal music promoted nationalism, or have nationalists utilised heavy metal music?
- Femininity and Masculinity in the metal scene: "doing gender" or "undoing gender"?
Marios is also an epic fiction bilingual author, French Language and Literature graduate from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece) and an MA holder in Creative Writing (the Hellenic Open University, Greece).
