Summary/Abstract: Black metal in the 21st century, especially In Poland is resurrecting. The 1990’s was a rough time for this musical genre due to its rebellious nature. Modern black metal, highly developed by polish bands, is highly different than its generic predecessor. What is observed is an innovative direction to black metal form and content which structures an avant-garde genre, aspiring to enter the popular culture.
