Hammer+Smashed+Face

//** JOURNAL: **//


I have settled on a topic: **__\m/ METAL!!! \m/__** My next objectives are to think of some reasearch questions. I have two questions so far.... Where does metal music fit in //todays// society? Where will metal be in the //future//?

One thing I will need to do is check what I am going to do now in year 11 won't effect my year 12 music course.



​

As my thought map sugestests my research questions will be **//__'Where will metal be in the future?'__//** & **__//'Where is metal in todays society?'//__** I will need to define what Metal music really is and the current condition of metal music in todays market.

To refine my topic further I am going to reaseach Death Metal, it is a sub-genre of Metal music and it is the one that intrests me most.



The thought map shows the key areas I need to define to help with my main topic.



This Flo-Chart shows the development of Death Metal and the Sub-genres, Fusion Genres & Bands

As far as interviewing people for a primary source of information, I am going to ask fellow Metalheads about their opinion and I am going to the music store Muses in the city and ask about Death Metal Cd sales. As an added part I am going to gain reviews from Death Metal concerts in Adelaide and write on review on the Cannibal Corpse concert I went to last year.

I Have Compiled 3 Lists Of Questions;

1. Muses Music Store

2. Fowlers Live

3. Metalheads Survey

EBSCO HOST: Task: Find 5 news articles on EBSCO HOST about my chosen topic.

I am unable to complete this task because there is nothing remotely to do with Death Metal on EBSCO HOST.




 * The way I am going to gain my information over the holidays:

I am going to talk to Death metal bands and get their views on where Death Metal is heading. I am going to talk to record store owners to check on the record sales of Death Metal. I am going to talk and survey Metalheads to finf out their perspective. I am going ask Fowlers Live about Death Metal concert numbers.

And from those findings I will compile an insight to Death Metals future. **
