FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What subgenres of metal are on radio?
Metal radio covers heavy, thrash, death, black, doom, stoner, power, progressive, and melodic metal. Some stations specialize in a single subgenre (death metal only, for instance); others span the full spectrum. Internet radio has been especially important for extreme metal.
Why is metal radio mostly online rather than FM?
Commercial FM stations dropped most metal programming in the 1990s-2000s because advertisers preferred broader formats. This pushed the metal community to internet radio early, resulting in a thriving ecosystem of niche online stations run by dedicated fans.
Which countries have the best metal radio?
Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden, Norway) has an outsized metal radio culture relative to population. Germany, the US, the UK, and Brazil also have strong metal radio communities. Many of the best stations are small, independent operations.
