New Underground Metal: Unsigned & Unleashed

Over this last year I’ve made a lot of changes here at The Versatile Virgo. But something that will never change is my love for new underground metal music, and my belief that it’s extremely important to support the underground (as well as musicians as a whole).

Underground Metal Music Playlist

Underground Metal Music [Playlist]

One could argue that there’s a lot of good and bad things about the way music distribution has evolved over the years. But the biggest game changer to me is that we now have more access than ever to underground music. And with the way technology has developed over the years, small independent bands are able to create, distribute, and market like never before. We headbangers LOVE to tell people about bands they should be listening to. It’s even better,...
