METAL ARCHIVES (ENCYLOPAEDIA METALLUM): "We just hit 200,000 bands on Metal Archives!"

 

 METAL ARCHIVES (ENCYLOPAEDIA METALLUM) has just hit over 200, 000 band submissions. 

 

 

 

 

FROM METAL ARCHIVES: 

 

We just hit 200,000 bands on Metal Archives!

When the Metal Archives started in 2002, even 10,000 bands seemed like a pretty ridiculous number. Twelve years later, in 2014, we reached 100,000. And now, in 2026, we've doubled it.

You'd think we'd be running out of bands by now, but judging by how many bands still get submitted every day, we're not even close.

We want to thank everyone who has submitted bands over the years and helped to make MA into the heavy metal resource that it is. A lot of people have put a lot of time into digging this stuff up and cataloguing it, and we obviously wouldn't be anywhere near this amount without you.

Looking forward to the day we hit 300,000. \m/

 Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
