Welcome to the Complete Metal Band Wiki!
There are 2,573 pages about bands and albums thus far.

Our goal is to have the most comprehensive Metal Band archive, period. There are tons of great bands that go unnoticed in other wiki's due to outrageous stipulations, like here!

That is purely ridiculous...

Alot of really good bands do not qualify due to one or more of those guidelines, so they are penalized. And on other Wikis, editors can be real sticklers about suggest guidelines for acceptance. Why?

Famous does not necessarily mean good. There are alot of "popular" things that are horrible. We do not rule talent by "chart sales". Lots of crap sells well, yet it talentless noise. Hip hop proves this formula with flawless perfection.

Well, not here. Granted, we are not out to be a local band repository, but if a band is good and noteworthy, they should be mentioned.

So, why is YOUR band not yet listed?

HERE you can:

  • Add your band and albums.
  • Help expand our growing metal band database by adding new bands.
  • Editing existing band and album entires.
  • Updating articles keeping the data current.

The only music that matters here is Metal!

You will find a number of great death, thrash, speed, and heavy metal bands, albums, and profiles of their musicians. Included among the metal bands, there is also entries of other bands and people connected in one way or another to the metal bands listed as well.

The images and text (that are not our own) are duly credited to its owner/author. If you wish not to have your images or credited text, please notify us and we will promptly remove it.

Please feel free to browse the site, and if there is anything you can correct or contribute, we urge you to do so.
