hey! months later I am still benefiting from your mcr metal primer, and I’ve been listening to more metal to figure out what genres I enjoy (spent a lot of time with black metal and metalcore this winter).

I wondered if you had recommendations for newsletters, podcasts, zines, or any other things you use to discover new (either recent releases or just new to you) metal bands/music?

hi!! thank you so much, i'm glad your getting some mileage out of the metal primer, that's what i'd always hoped it'd do so its really nice to hear :)

but yes, staying informed. there's a lot of resources out there- with metal you are really lucky considering a ton of stuff is archived (anytime i think about the metal archives i just feel sooo incredibly grateful after having to track down punk diy shit for months) and people are really invested in providing exhaustive lists and things! personally, i use shreddit almost exclusively (r/metal subreddit). they have a discord server that's a little less. well, reddit. than the page itself, as well as a release tracker, so it's pretty easy for me to know what's been released. i'll also check heavy blog is heavy, no clean singing, angrymetalguy (if they give an album a bad review, i'll probably love it haha!), and sometimes sarah from Smoulder does bangertv videos like cassette cult that i always check out.

as far as new to me, there's a ton of stuff out there. i use rym a lot, if you find a particularly good user they've often got a handful of lists i can dig through forever. stuff like this (crazy extensive baltic extreme metal primer) can give me a ton of mileage. shreddit also has primers to dig through. i love ride into glory i've found some of my favorite bands there.

i also stay in the loop through my metal friends- a couple guys who went to college with me started a record label after they graduated (liminal dread productions!) and just plugging into the shit they're up to helps me discover smaller artists. i did a few reviews for one of their zines and got into Vicious Blade through that, which was really great!

these are really the main things i use- i know black metal has its own self-sustaining universe that i'm unfamiliar with and metalcore tends to overlap much more with punk (like i feel like i get a lot of that stuff from brooklyn vegan and the like these days) so i'm a bit unhelpful for those specifics unfortunately. hopefully this gave you a good starting point though!!
