Not a Metallurgy class! This veteran crash-course is coming back in full force and will have you head banging, air guitaring, and devil horn raising in no time! Learn everything you ever wanted to know about Heavy Metal, including how Metallica continues to evolve, why Lemmy IS God (RIP), how the genre tackles some of today’s biggest sociopolitical challenges, why metal bands exist in every country on Earth, and why you’re probably already a metalhead without even knowing it.  

WARNING: This series most definitely goes to 11!  Earplugs optional.

We’ll look at metal cultures, explore the fringes of the most extreme forms of metal, and, of course, listen to some SCREAMING HEAVY METAL! This is guaranteed to be the most BRUTAL class ever offered at MIT! Anyone is welcome to join, and since we’re remote again this year, seating isn’t limited. Learn more about this series’ past in the class archive!

This year’s flyer design was created by artist, Kai Gabriela of Nekroninfa Tattoo & Designs! Check out more of her work at www.instagram.com/_nekroninfa.art!


All classes start at 6:30pm ET and Zoom links will be posted below each class!
