Multilingual Metal Music

Did you know that Nanowar Of Steel's lyrics have been the subject of scholar research?

As crazy as it may sound, a full article has been published on the subject:
https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/978-1-83909-948-920200015/full/html

Taken from the abstract:

"The demenziale has also attracted a slew of bands that employ this humour within the heavy metal genre, most famous of which is the Roman band Nanowar of Steel. [...] Nanowar of Steel's unique position of having songs written in seven languages, primarily English and Italian, allows us to take a deeper look at how language and humour interfaces with the local and global metal scenes."

This GattoCast's special guest is Karl Farrugia, the article's author, and we'll chat about humour and languages, but primarly about the "why on Earth would you write a serious article about Nanowar Of Steel".
