Multilayering hardrock/heavymetal music in „Only Rock” resources This article is composed of two parts. The first discusses the role of metal hardrock music (broadly understood) in the structure of the most opinion-making music magazine after 1989, ie „Only Rock”, and in the second study focused on analyzing the content of the monthly magazine in terms of title genres, but in the optics of genology. The text uses existing statistical data, studies and, of course, source materials. Methodologically and substantively – in a narrower sense, the publication encompasses two new streams: Metal Music Studies (humanistic) and Journalism and Music Media (social sciences, media studies), and in broader terms quantitative and qualitative research (including structural analysis). The research showed that metal music was a constitutive aspect of the subject matter in a strictly formal rock writing, and even some of the leading elements.

The Genological Strategies in the Music Press in Poland in the 1970s (jazz, rock, pop) The music press in Poland in the 1970s in terms of genology was "stable", nomen omen as well as the definition of the whole decade. No major genre and genre transformations were observed at that time, but the aim of the article was not to justify the revolution taking place in the 1970s, as it was simply not the case (it took place in the 1980s and during the political transformations), but the aim was to find missing pieces of the image of the music press (rock, jazz, pop) in research and literature. In general, the editors presented similar genealogical strategies and structural concepts, but-as this analysis has shown-this segment was not homogeneous: the first genological experiments and innovative content (e.g., the first experiments in the field of rock, jazz, pop, etc.). The first genological experiments and innovative content (e.g. punk rock) in Non Stop magazine, the minimal interest in music behind the Iron Curtain (Jazz Forum magazine), the thoroughly modern structure of Musicorama magazine or the specific concept of Synkopa-Klub Miłośników Piosenki magazines rarely practiced in the press with this orientation, confirm that the knowledge about journalism and music media, without the data presented in this article, would be incomplete and lack logical continuity.

A big thank-you for your regular deliveries of Jazz. I am reading it with considerable interest, as are many of my friends […] in translation."
