About Hessians

We use the term "hessian" to designate Headbangers, Metallians, Metalheads, death rockers, and other people who live the lifestyle of metal music, including underground death metal, grindcore, speed metal, black metal, doom metal, thrash and heavy metal. That label implies above all the war-like attitude towards life that metal and other neo-classical forms of music promote.

The Hessian Studies Center, a not-for-profit corporation headquartered in the UAE, seeks to promote the values of the Hessian culture. Its goal is to establish a presence of hessians in the media and to demand mainstream society to recognize hessians as the unique cultural group it is, and encourage social recognition of this one of many cultures in our great pluralistic nation.
