Overview

Black Metal in Contemporary Art explores the visual and cultural impact of black metal, tracing its journey from underground subculture to contemporary art. Focusing primarily on Swedish and Norwegian artists, the book examines how the intense aesthetics, dark symbolism, and existential themes of true Norwegian black metal have inspired painters, sculptors, photographers, and installation artists. With a selective international outlook, it situates these Nordic developments within a broader global context, showing how black metal's fascination with night, ruin, and the sublime has transcended music to influence the gallery, the museum, and the very ways we understand subculture and extremity in art.
