Abstract
Issue 9.2 sees the light following an active summer for the field of metal music studies. During 6–9 June 2023, the International Society for Metal Music Studies held its 6th Biennial Research Conference in Montreal, Canada. The event was organized by Dr Vivek Venkatesh and his team at Concordia University. The issue’s main section includes five articles addressing the topics of stadium rock, the identity construction of famous metal guitarists, the idea of heaviness, symphonic metal’s appropriation of the Baroque, and the creation of a metal scene in Bandung, Indonesia. The issue includes reviews for books on references to Nazism in popular music, the visual dimensions of metal battle jackets, and Mercyful Fate’s 1984 album Don’t Break the Oath.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
