About This Station

**SomaFM Metal Detector** is a commercial-free, listener-supported internet radio station from the United States specializing in heavy and extreme metal. Its programming spans a wide spectrum of subgenres, from black and doom metal to sludge, stoner rock, progressive metal, thrash, post-punk, and industrial. The station is described as featuring everything from "crushing riffs" and "bleeding-edge new releases" to classics, with a playful warning that its "growling/screaming/ear-splitting vocal torture" may cause permanent aural damage. As part of the SomaFM network, it relies on listener donations to continue its all-heavy-music broadcast.
