You can do it while you work even.

Bring Me The Horizon’s 2013 album Sempiternal almost didn’t happen. Oli Sykes overcame addiction during its creation, channeling chaos into anthems that redefined metalcore for a generation.

Summer music festivals: where you pay hundreds to see your favorite bands, and Mother Nature decides to headline with a full play through of ‘Relentless Rain & Thunderstorms’

In 2014, Architects released Lost Forever // Lost Together, recorded in a haunted Swedish studio. The eerie vibe inspired the album’s raw emotion and crushing heaviness. Ghosts and riffs…what more do you need?

Being a metal fan in New Zealand is character-building. You either travel 4 hours to Australia for a gig or mosh alone in your living room and call it a “world tour”

Metal in 2025 is only going to get heavier and angrier if 2024 was any sign. By December, breakdowns will just be guttural roars and the sound of zoo animals rioting.

Day well spent

Slipknot’s All Hope Is Gone debuted at #1 in 2008, proving metal could dominate mainstream charts.

Black Sabbath accidentally invented heavy metal when Tony Iommi detuned his guitar to ease finger pain from an accident. The result? That signature dark, heavy sound we now call metal.

Did you know Slayer’s Reign in Blood was so controversial that it was initially rejected by its distributor for its graphic themes? It later became one of the most influential metal albums ever, proving controversy fuels the genre.
