Contact The Metalverse
We're a leading independent publication covering rock, metal, and heavy music—and we try to read every email that comes in.
Band Submissions & Press Coverage
Releasing something new? Want us to cover your band, album, EP, or single? This is the one.
Send press releases, EPKs, review requests, streaming links, and coverage pitches to: contact@themetalverse.net
What to include:
- Your band name, genre, and a one-paragraph description
- Links to streaming (Spotify, Bandcamp) — no MP3 attachments please
- Release date and any relevant context (tour, label, etc.)
- A hi-res photo or album art if you have one
We cover everything from signed major-label artists to unsigned bedroom projects. If it's good, we want to hear it. We try to respond to all submissions within 5–7 business days, though during busy periods it may take a bit longer.
News Tips & Story Ideas
Spotted something we should know about? Breaking news, scene drama, interesting stories — send it our way. If it's relevant to rock, metal, or heavy music, we want to know.
Gear & Audio Review Submissions
Have a product you'd like us to review? Our Audio Gear section covers IEMs, headphones, DACs, amps, and music tech—and we're always looking for interesting things to put through their paces.
Please include the product name, a brief description, and whether you're offering a loan unit or a permanent sample. We publish honest, independent reviews— scores and conclusions are never influenced by the submission relationship.
Write for The Metalverse
We regularly publish work from guest contributors—writers, photographers, and people with something interesting to say about heavy music, gear, or the music industry.
What we're looking for:
- Album reviews, concert coverage, or features on artists and scenes
- Gear reviews and tech write-ups
- Opinion pieces and industry analysis with a real point of view
- Concert photography
Send us a brief pitch explaining what you want to write and why, plus two or three links to previous work. We don't require professional credentials—you just need good writing and knowledge of the subject.
Advertising & Sponsorships
Interested in reaching an audience of 3 million monthly rock and metal fans, musicians, and audio enthusiasts? We offer editorial sponsorships, newsletter placements, and content partnerships.
Tell us a bit about your brand, what you're promoting, and your budget range and we'll get back to you with what's available.
The Metalverse does not accept paid content or sponsored editorial content that influences our independent coverage.
