Our Mission
Metal Mantra aims to be the fastest, most reliable heavy-music news source online—a place where fans can stay informed without distractions, ad overload, or inflated, misleading headlines. Our mission is to deliver real information with integrity: no shortcuts, no filler, no chasing clicks.

How We’re Funded
Metal Mantra is independently operated and supported through a combination of advertising, partnerships, and ticket affiliate links related to tours, festivals, and live events we cover. These partnerships help sustain our reporting while allowing us to keep the majority of our content freely accessible.
Editorial decisions are made independently. Affiliate relationships never influence which artists, tours, or stories we choose to cover, and our reporting remains guided by accuracy, relevance, and respect for the heavy-music community.

We serve the diehards, the curious, the lifers, and the people pushing heavy music forward every single day.
Our coverage is built to help fans stay informed, help artists amplify their voice, help promoters and industry teams understand cultural shifts, and help the entire community stay connected through accurate, intentional storytelling.

Bay Area Roots
Metal Mantra is proudly rooted in the California Bay Area—one of the world’s most influential heavy-music regions. The Bay’s legacy runs deep: thrash metal’s birthplace, punk’s battleground, hardcore’s proving ground, and a long-standing home for underground innovation. That history shapes our identity and fuels the intensity behind everything we publish.
Being Bay Area–based means operating with a spirit of independence, rebellion, and community unity. It means honoring the past while pushing heavy music into its next era. Our coverage reflects the energy of the Bay: bold, uncompromising, and driven by people who care fiercely about the culture.
