Metal fans upload music of the bands they like to YouTube, ranging from singles to full albums.
The overwhelming majority of these uploads do not support the artists in any way other than some exposure.
Promoting underground bands by uploading their music with clear purchase links to their music and merch to support the artists.
Establishing a platform where underground bands can have their music promoted to a sizable audience and be supported with quality.
Deadliest Metal is a non-profit platform that offers free promotion and supports underground metal bands.
Since 2011, 'Deadliest Metal' is striving to give much needed free support to underground bands. The roots of Deadliest Metal began on YouTube as I noticed there was a severe lack of support being given on the music people shared. Most of all I am trying to make a difference in the 'download link' environment which is the status quo by providing clear purchase links and presenting the music with quality graphics. My goal is to create more exposure and support to the music that I'm ambitious about. I hope you will join me in the cause and help all the great bands out there.
You will mostly find variants of Death Metal and Black Metal in the catalogue.
The difference with regular music uploads and Deadliest Metal is that DM always releases content with clear supporting information for the artist such as album purchase links, merch links, label links and other relevant info. This is what gives DM an aware and active supporting role for the music it uploads.
The Bandcamp section of DM publishes a select few of the artists songs and refers the listener to the bands own Bandcamp page to be able to listen to the rest of the album in order to create traffic to their page. This is done with the cooperation of the artists.
Deadliest Metal puts effort into the presentation and quality of the promotional content it releases on YouTube because good music deserves a good appearance that does the music justice.
The visuals are made with a custom professional looking format to better present the album artwork and the quality is always 720p minimum in order to have a reasonable standard quality.
