One of the biggest content creators in the metal scene, **Nik Nocturnal**, well known for his music reviews, metal memes, and guitar covers just announced today he will be stepping away from YouTube after 11 years. 

Nik Nocturnal stated that he wants to focus on a healthier work/life balance and to take a break from creating content, Twitch streaming, and his YouTube channel but will continue side businesses like his merch brand [**Core Kid**](https://corekid.ca/?ref=themetalverse.net).
