Tracks approved will be added to the playlist "Next-Gen Metal // Progressive Metal, Core & Djent" on the Top 20 for at least one month. Please do not submit AI tracks, I will never allow them in my playlist. I’ve spent the past 25 years immersed in the music industry as a songwriter, performer, producer, and promoter within the modern metal scene. Alongside writing and performing in progressive and extreme metal bands, I’ve worked extensively with artists on production, branding, and promotion, helping bands refine both their sound and identity. I also built a long career composing music for movie trailers, which sharpened my understanding of impact, dynamics, arrangement, and what truly connects with listeners. Over the years, I’ve developed a highly trained ear for modern metal production and songwriting. I know what makes a track stand out in today’s progressive metal, metalcore, and djent landscape, from powerful production and memorable hooks to originality, atmosphere, and emotional impact. Artists and listeners alike tend to trust my taste and recommendations, which is reflected in the rapid growth and engagement of my playlist community. I actively promote my playlists through targeted advertising campaigns and consistent social media exposure, generating thousands of interactions and reaching a dedicated audience of modern heavy music fans. Accepted tracks are placed alongside some of the strongest names in progressive metalcore and djent, with premium positioning depending on quality and fit. Tracks can remain featured for up to three months, ensuring sustained exposure rather than short-term placement. I’m looking for heavy, modern, forward-thinking progressive metal, metalcore, and djent with exceptional production, strong songwriting, huge choruses, and a distinct identity.
