Abstract
This paper examines the Irish heavy metal scene, adapting Elias's figurational sociology as a resource. Following an extended qualitative study of the different ‘fan' spaces, I examine the role that ‘control' (individual and collective) plays in shaping the emotional experience, heavy metal subcultural hierarchies and the distribution of subcultural capital.
