The purpose of this study was to compare personality traits using the Big Five personality taxonomy and alcohol consumption of classical and heavy metal musicians. Also, we compared personality traits of classical and heavy metal musicians with norms for the Croatian population, and data on alcohol consumption with a representative sample of the general Croatian population. Participants in the study were men (N = 249) playing either classical (N = 113) or heavy metal music (N = 136). Personality was measured with the IPIP-50 personality questionnaire and participants answered several questions about alcohol consumption. We found no significant differences in personality traits between classical and heavy metal musicians, but both classical and heavy metal musicians differed significantly in personality from the norms, having higher scores on extraversion, agreeableness, and especially intellect. Belonging to a heavy metal musicians group was associated with consuming alcohol more often. Also, frequency of alcohol consumption was statistically higher for heavy metal musicians than in the general population.

“…Moreover, those in a token position are more often judged according to their group category (women) as opposed to on individual competencies (Roth 2004;Schaap & Berkers 2014). Three respondents reported being subject to such gendered evaluations: SUZANNA: It definitely felt like there was a lot of comments that flew round, not from the lecturers, but from other students on the course about my skill levels, maybe?…”

“…Heavy metal music has lead to the formation of a subculture by supporters and fans that have developed a strong sense of group membership. This is epitomized in the quote that attending live concerts is the "holiest of heavy metal communions" [12]. The metal scene has been characterized as a subculture of alienation, with its own code of authenticity [13].…”

This paper builds a link between isolated domains within the arts and sciences, specifically between music and psychiatry. An analogous model is presented that associates heavy metal music with bipolar disorder, a form of mental illness. Metal music consists of a variety of subgenres with distinct manifestations of song, rhythm, instrumentation, and vocal structure. These manifestations are analogous to the symptomatology of bipolar disorder, specifically the recurrent episodes of (hypo)mania and depression. Examples of songs are given which show these analogies. Besides creating a subjective link between apparently unconnected knowledge domains, these analogies could play a heuristic role in clinical applications and education about the disorder and mental illnesses at large.
