Build your metal and punk career through the extreme music ecosystem with targeted press, radio, label strategy, and festival bookings.
Why Choose AMW for Metal & Punk Music Promotion
Metal and punk promotion operates in one of the most passionate and community-driven ecosystems in all of music. Metal and punk fans are fiercely loyal, deeply knowledgeable, and rely on trusted media outlets, record labels, and live shows to discover new music. AMW understands that credibility within the metal and punk community is earned through the right channels and cannot be manufactured.
Our metal and punk promotion covers the full spectrum from death metal and black metal to metalcore, hardcore punk, pop-punk, and everything in between. We maintain relationships with metal-specific media like Metal Injection, MetalSucks, Revolver, and Kerrang, understand the importance of label credibility in metal, and know which festivals, podcasts, and YouTube channels drive discovery in the extreme music world.
Whether you play progressive metal, thrash, doom, grindcore, skate punk, or post-hardcore, AMW creates campaigns that build credibility within your subgenre community while expanding your audience. We work with bands at every level, from local acts seeking their first press features to established metal bands pursuing festival headline slots and label deals with heavy music imprints.
