Abstract
The present study aims to analyze the mobility of Heavy Metal bands around the world, using groups that have made some international migratory journey to enter the music market. To this end, the research sought data on the Metal-Archives website, used in the construction of cartograms and charts, analyzed according to the concepts of international migratory mobility and transnational community, allowing to arrive at some general notes on flows of the musical genre. The results indicate that bands preferentially migrate to the great financial and artistic centers of the world, USA and UK, and to countries that stand out in the production of a specific subgenre of Metal.
