“You Need a Big God” | 19www.jrfm.eu 2020, 6/2, 7–20 are formed in Christian popular music and how a religious message is com- municated without diminishing the broad appeal of the songs. In Act Three, “Heavy Metal Bricolage”, Lavinia Pflugfelder explores the complex reception of religious imagery and “religionised” visual language in Heavy Metal and especially Extreme Metal videoclips. She argues that these clips develop a religious language and a Metal-specific visual programme that uses and combines imaginary from different religious traditions. The Interludes each draw on a YouTube videoclip. They discuss Lady Gaga’s Judas (Katharina Luise Merkert), Rosalía’s Aunque es de noche (Eva Meien- berg) and Dorian Electra’s Adam & Steve (Yannick Schlote). To allow the reader to experience the mediality of the music and the virtual journal, we have added QR-codes for the music videos in the Interludes, and provide URLs for the platforms for the videos cited in the Acts. We stronger encourage readers to watch the music videos analysed in the short reviews, and also recommend they listen to songs and watch videos mentioned in the articles. The full possibilities of the media are evident when we hear the mel- ody, comprehend the lyrics and see how music is visualised for a broad public. Bibliography Barzel, Tamar, 2015, New York Noise.
