Metal Archives 12+

Super efficient and helpful

I find myself using this app a lot more than I expected. I’m actually at a festival this weekend, and saw a guy in the audience that I could swear is in a band that I listen to semi-regularly. Immediately pull up the app, clicked on the band photo (the thumbnail enlarges, and the quality of the photos are typically great), and I was able to confirm it was him all in about 15 seconds. Of course I immediately introduce myself and tell him how much I love his latest album. Decent dude!

Developer Response ,

If you’re a metalhead, you NEED this app

I’ve been a fan of the Metal Archives website for a few years now (I didn’t make an account until I found out they had an app, I just perused the site) and as soon as I found out they have an app, I was like ‘ARE YOU FREAKIN SERIOUS’ and I gotta say, I’m not disappointed. I was browsing the site from my phone and that gets annoying, having to zoom in and out an whatnot, but having an app makes that issue completely disappear. It’s super easy to use, very useful for finding new bands, and their information as far as I can tell is pretty much always 100% accurate. My only complaint with the app version is there’s no way to write your reviews, so I have to do it from the browser (there probably is a way to do it in the app but I’m pretty dumb so idk). Anyway, this app is amazing and I’m super grateful for it!

Essential album

If I could give it 4.5 stars I would. When this album dropped the second wave of hardcore was exploding in the USA. This album acted as a bridge between metal and hardcore. The vocals were harsh and brutal. The riffs were choppy and ‘tuff’. Yet they still leaned more towards metal. This is by far my favorite album of their’s. I have never stopped listening to it since it came out. If I were to create a list of my favorite Christian metal albums of all time there is no doubt that this would be in my top 5.
The drums are so heavy. Cool time signatures. Just the right amount of experimentation. This album blends the staccato punchy in your face with the dramatic melodic in your soul. Fans of late 90s metal can’t go wrong with this one.
