Metal music PR

Metal as a genre in 2020 requires a team that appreciates that it’s a much wider term than it seems.

Whether it’s doom, black, extreme, prog, power, death, sludge, post or even psych metal, your project will need someone working on it who gets every style and can understand the more subtle influences in your music. 

At Prescription, we have staff members who got suspended from school for going to see Iron Maiden and Slayer rather than attending class, and others who have played in multiple heavy bands in the past — so you can be sure that we’re people who are enthused by the genre and who will approach key contacts with that same enthusiasm…

Metal Hammer, Kerrang!, Terrorizer, Zero Tolerance, Decibel, New Noise Magazine and a selection of key rock and metal blogs are all on our contacts list and we’ll make sure your records reach the relevant contacts at all of them. 

However, where possible, we pride ourselves in the ability to find contacts within the media who may not typically be seen to cover metal — ones that can help to bring your music to new audiences.

We’ve seen our new metal artists covered on blogs such as NPR, Stereogum, Consequence of Sound, the Quietus and CRACK; and have helped more established bands to reach outside of the realms of rock and metal press to gain coverage in outlets such as Shindig!, The Wire, MOJO, The Guardian, The Independent, Prog magazine and R2.

We’re proud to have worked with some true legends in the genre, including Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath, Diamond Head and Venom.

But as well as the greats that have come and gone, we’re also working with some of the very best heavy bands out there today. Our recent roster also includes the likes of Oranssi Pazuzu, Liturgy, Beastmilk (who we helped break in the UK) Sabbath Assembly, The Fall Of Troy, Holy Roar’s Wren and others. 

Whether you’re an unsigned band looking to build foundations across rock and metal press or are an established artist looking to break into new areas of the media, we have the contacts and the knowledge to get your music in front of the right people. Get in touch about your project today.
