90s Heavy Jams – My 90s Rock and Metal Playlist

The 90s is by far my favorite decade when it comes to music in general. But that’s especially true for 90s Rock & Metal. Am I a bit biased because it’s also from my youth? Perhaps.

Or rather, the tracks from notable...

Women In Metal Music Playlist

Celebrating Women In Metal Music [Playlist]

I definitely became a metalhead in my preteen years. But that doesn’t necessarily mean I always felt represented as a female who loves metal music. As a Catholic school student living in an area where country music is sovereign, my metal discoveries at the time relied on what was put out by the media.

Game of Thrones warned that Winter would be coming. But they forgot to mention it’s going to be a heavy one.

That’s where my Winter Metal Playlist comes in. Metal music is notorious for being associated with all things hell and fire. But on the flip side...

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,...
