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.

Every release and media campaign is different, so we cannot guarantee a specific number of reviews, articles, interviews or radio plays. Editorial decisions are ultimately made by the individual publications, journalists and radio stations we contact.
What we can guarantee is that your release will be actively promoted to our network of 1,000+ metal and rock media outlets according to the campaign you choose, with multiple rounds of outreach during the campaign period.
Results can include reviews, interviews, news articles, features, premieres, online radio plays, podcast appearances and other forms of media coverage. Some releases generate significant interest, while others receive a smaller amount of coverage depending on the music, release, timing and individual media interest.

We offer 2-week, 4-week and 8-week campaigns to suit different releases, promotional timelines and budgets. Our 2-week campaign is a good option for singles and music videos, while the 4-week and 8-week campaigns provide a longer period of outreach and are particularly suited to EPs, albums and larger releases.
All three campaigns are promoted to our network of 1,000+ metal and rock media outlets. The main difference is how long we continue the outreach and how many rounds of promotional emails are sent during the campaign.
