The whole list was built organically by me by adding blogs I knew, adding blogs where my friends' bands got reviewed and doing some research of my own. Also worth noting, the main criteria besides them covering rock/metal genres, was them actively reviewing music in 2025 and 2026.

We understand the desire to put a number on the results, albeit so much depends on the music in the end. However, judging from past experience ranging from hard rock to death metal bands, we would say that at minimum 4-5% of the publications should feature your band in some capacity (news release, blog article, feature, interview request, online radio plays, podcast etc.) - please note, this is a minimum number - some of our clients’ music caught a great deal of attention and they overshot this estimate considerably.
