By embedding the game directly into BraveWords.com, the collaboration unites one of heavy music’s most storied independent labels with one of the genre’s most prominent media platforms.
Already building a loyal and competitive player base on iOS and Android, Metal Mondays has established itself as a weekly ritual for metal devotees worldwide. The platform challenges participants to identify songs, artists, and subgenres spanning decades of heavy music, while competing for global leaderboard rankings and exclusive prizes. Deep dives into Metal Blade’s legendary catalog feature prominently in the game’s content.
„Metal Mondays has already shown that fans are hungry for new ways to engage with the music beyond streaming,“ said Brian Slagel, CEO of Metal Blade Records. „By partnering with BraveWords, we’re amplifying something that’s already working — bringing it to a massive global audience and making it even more accessible.“
Tim Henderson, CEO of BraveWords, echoed that enthusiasm, describing the trivia experience as proven, highly engaging, and a natural fit for the platform’s dedicated readership. The partnership effectively transforms BraveWords.com from a pure editorial destination into an interactive hub where fans can play, compete, and explore.
Metal Mondays is developed and powered by Pantheon Media and Spooler Media, companies specialising in audio innovation and next-generation fan engagement. The integration also opens new avenues for sponsorship, advertising, and gamified fan interaction — an emerging frontier in music and entertainment media.
Metal Blade Records was founded in 1982 by Brian Slagel and has shaped heavy music for over four decades. BraveWords has been a premier destination for metal news and interviews since 1994.
