"Heavy metal na jugoslovenski način" - nastanak i razvoj metal scene u Jugoslaviji

Abstract

Predmet ovog rada biće nastanak i razvoj jugoslovenske metal scene. Tokom 70-ih i 80-ih godina 20. veka, u republikama SFR Jugoslavije počinju da se javljaju bendovi čija se muzika načelno može smestiti u okvire heavy metala. Osim toga, decenija koja je vodila ka raspadu „velike” Jugoslavije posvedočila je nastanku bendova koji su bili predstavnici ‘ekstremnijih’ podžanrova (thrash, speed, death metal). Imajući u vidu današnju perspektivu na istoriju metal muzike i usložnjavanje njenih podžanrovskih podela, kao i specifičan modus recepcije ove muzičke struje u socijalističkom kontekstu, mapiraću značajne izvođače i uočiti (pod)žanrovska pomeranja koja su vodila stvaranju metal scene u SFR Jugoslaviji. Takođe, praćenje razvoja scene, kao i njenih zvučnih i logističkih specifičnosti, približiće nas odgovoru na pitanje koje, uostalom, prati i druge vidove muzike ‘uvezene u Jugoslaviju’ – pitanje da li se i na koji način lokalno/jugoslovensko očituje u jugoslovenskoj metal muzici osme i devete decenije 20. veka.

The subject of this paper is the beginning and development of the Yugoslav metal scene. During the seventies and the eighties of the 20th century, in the republics of SFR Yugoslavia there emerged bands, whose music could be basically considered heavy metal. In addition, a decade that led to the breakup of “great” Yugoslavia testified to the formation of bands who were representatives of somewhat more “extreme” subgenres, such as thrash, speed, death metal. Bearing in mind the present perspective on the history of metal music and the complexity of its subgenres, as well as the specific mode of reception of this musical wave in the socialist context, I mapped out the important performers and perceived (sub)genre shifts that aspired to create a metal scene in the SFR Yugoslavia. Following the development of the scene in this way, as well as its sound and logistic specificities, possibly also brought us closer to the answer to the question which, after all, is associated to other forms of music ‘imported into Yugoslavia’ – the question of whether and how the local / Yugoslav is manifested in the Yugoslav metal music of the eighth and ninth decades of the 20th century.
