Diversity in Metal: Vienna celebrates Loud & Proud with strong women!

In the Vienna Culture scene, something exciting is happening: The new Metal Festival "Loud & Proud" will open its doors at the end of November and promise to become a real highlight. Initiated by passionate music lovers, this festival puts the diversity and independence of metal bands in the foreground, far from the common stereotypes and masculinity images. According to Deutschlandfunk Kultur , the event will also offer a platform for discussions about new perspectives in the metal area.

The announced bands that will enrich the festival are particularly exciting. The Norwegian Black Metal band "Witch Club Satan" appears and inspires with its feminist music, which is performed by three talented Norwegians. The Australian band "Divide and Dissolve", founded by an Afro-American saxophonist and a percussionist with Maori ancestors, will also conquer the stage. This formation not only brings musical high performance, but also a strong message that arrives in the current discussion about gender equality in the music world, such as Deutschlandfunk reported.

diversity in metal: a new approach

The "Loud & Proud" festival is more than just a musical get-together. It is a statement against the structural disadvantage of women and non -binary people in the music industry. An investigation of the Malisa Stiftung shows that gender distribution has hardly improved since 2010. In 2022, some progress in festival line-ups were recorded, but the proportion of women with less than 20% remains soberly low. Festivals such as "Loud & Proud" counter and offer women and non -binary artists: a stage inside.

in Austria and beyond it is high time to break up the stereotypical pictures of masculinity in music. With its focus on diversity and equality, the festival would like to set an example and not only notice musically, but also toast socially relevant. With this approach, the organizers pursue a high goal: the creation of a broader and fairer spectrum in the music scene.

And so "Loud & Proud" will not only be a place of encounter for metal fans, but also a room for discussion and exchange about the challenges that women and non-binary people look for each other in the music industry. If everything goes according to plan, Vienna will experience an unforgettable celebration of the diversity at the end of November.
