This project was made possible through research monies obtained by authors Venkatesh, Waddington and Shaikh from Concordia University’s Office of the Vice-President Research and Graduate Studies’ Seed Funding program and doctoral bursaries obtained by authors Shaikh and Zuberi from le fonds québecois de recherche sur la société et la culture. Portions of the theoretical framework presented in this chapter appear in an article prepared by the authors for the Spring 2011 edition of Canadian Issues, published b y the Association for Canadian Studies. Special thanks to Blake Judd from Chicago-based extreme metal band Nachtmystium for providing personal insight into how he used MySpace to communicate with fans. We also thank David Perri from Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles, and Rashi Khilnani from Radio Canada International for publicizing our research in popular media outlets, and in the process, helping us recruit participants from the heavy metal community.
