Metal radio stations

Use Groover to send your track directly to metal radio hosts. Browse stations by subgenre like thrash metal, death metal or doom metal, select the ones that match your sound, and submit. Every host listens and responds within 7 days.

Radio hosts want professional production quality, clear genre identity and originality. They look for bands that fit their programming, whether that's extreme metal like black and death metal or more accessible styles like progressive and melodic metal. A strong bio and previous releases help too.

Metal has a dedicated global community built around radio shows, from college stations to specialized online broadcasts. Radio airplay builds credibility, reaches fans who actively discover music through hosts they trust, and can lead to festival bookings and label attention. Thrash, doom and death metal scenes especially rely on radio support.

Match your subgenre to the station's focus. If they play extreme metal like black and death metal, don't send progressive rock. Include context about your band, upcoming releases or tours, and why your track fits their show. Professional mastering is non-negotiable.

Response rates vary, but Groover guarantees feedback within 7 days or you get your credits back. Realistic outcomes include playlist adds, on-air spins, interviews or constructive feedback. Building relationships with radio hosts takes time, so be professional and patient.
