This article presents a critical review of the first blues sheet music publications and recordings, drawing upon perspectives of history, musical style, media, race, and class. This review also aims to distinguish ragtime and vaudeville adaptations and stylizations of the blues from the original folk form. The need for this separation and ordering results from conclusions regarding the deliberate, mercantile abuse of the word “blues” in the titles of songs of various genres of popular music until the 1920s.

Celem artykułu jest krytyczny przegląd pierwszych bluesowych wydawnictw nutowych oraz nagrań w perspektywie historycznej, stylistyczno-muzycznej, medialnej oraz rasowo-klasowej. Przegląd ten ma jednocześnie na celu odróżnienie ragtime’owych i wodewilowych adaptacji i stylizacji bluesa od jego pierwotnej, ludowej postaci. Potrzeba tego oddzielenia i uporządkowania wynika z przeświadczenia o celowym, merkantylnym nadużywaniu słowa „blues” w tytułach utworów różnych gatunków muzyki popularnej aż do lat 20. XX wieku.

In the 21st century, metal music appears to be a fully global phenomenon. One of the proofs of this is the activity of the Ukrainian band Jinjer, currently boldly competing with the biggest stars of the European and American scene. This is due to the band’s diverse, difficult to classify, but at the same time universal musical style. Jinjer’s music uses various means and metal conventions,but they do not put them together in a collage; they rather strive for synergy. At the same time, in recent years, threads related to social isolation, lyricism and national references have come to the fore in the band’s music. The aim of the article is to outline the stylistic syndrome in the context of extreme metal subgenres.

W XXI wieku muzyka metalowa jawi się jako fenomen w pełni globalny. Jednym z tego przejawów jest działalność ukraińskiego zespołu Jinjer, obecnie śmiało konkurującego z największymi gwiazdami sceny europejskiej i amerykańskiej. Przyczynił się do tego wieloraki, trudny do sklasyfikowania, ale zarazem uniwersalny styl muzyczny zespołu. Jinjer sięga bowiem po rozmaite środki i konwencje metalowe, przy czym nie zestawia ich kolażowo, raczej dąży do synergii. Poza tym w ostatnich latach w muzyce zespołu coraz wyraźniej dochodzą do głosu wątki związane ze społeczną izolacją, liryzm i odniesienia narodowe. Celem artykułu jest nakreślenie syndromu stylistycznego w kontekście subgatunków extrememetalowych.

The pandemic is not in favour of any scientific symposia and conferences, especially the international ones. Many have been cancelled, while some managed to migrate into the Internet. This was the case of the conference organised by the Progect Network for the Study of Progressive Rock, entitled ‘Progressive Rock and Metal: Towards a Contemporary Understanding’ and originally scheduled to take place in May 2020 in Ottawa, Canada. Due to pandemic restrictions, the event was first moved to 2021 to finally, a few months later, offer a fully remote and “virtual” formula; hence the name change to Virtual Progect.

The article is an overview of the most important concepts in the field of musical semiotics, and at the same time an indication of which of them have potential in relation to the study of metal music. Particular attention was paid to the method of musematic analysis, consistently used and developed for almost half a century by Philip Tagg, but also appreciated and practiced by other researchers. The starting point for the author is the state of research in the field of “metal musicology” and theory of music ‒ there is still no adequate, new methodology, and at the same time a common space and a thread of understanding between disciplines and methodologies. Such an interdisciplinary perspective can be semiotics, especially musical, which is a valuable alternative and supplement to sociological, literary and cultural studies, etc. It has potential both where music is a (subordinate) medium of the message and a “amplifier” of the text, and where, through its structure and dramaturgy expresses “itself” in a way, constituting an abstract play of sounds and timbres.
