This thing has been in the works for about a year, ever since we shut down the Compilation. It has passed through various incarnations - but now it's finally here!


Metal Storm MP3 sampler


The main idea was to provide much needed promotion for bands, as well as keep our users happy with free music. This feature is for bands, both already accomplished and just starting, that are seeking promotion and feedback. This is for metal fans, always in search for new music. If you don't mind sharing your song with our eager listeners - you can upload it here, it's really easy! The new system allows songs to be rated and commented, providing you with feedback.

Any suggestions on changes or additional features are very welcome. The section will officially open after we have at least five submitted songs.

Thank you, enjoy!

cool idea, but i tried out Resistance as they are Power/Thrash, i was expecting an Iced Earth/Stormwarrior kind ov sound, but they sound too 'modernized' and 'plain' for me

so why aren't people rating the songs very much, or commenting on them?
you know most of the bands will be looking out for your feedback on there

YAY congratulations guys I've been waiting for this for a long time since I loved so so much the compilations. I got to know some great bands thanks to the compilation and was so sad when it closed. But well now I have the chance to to listen again to new bands I have a question though, how often do you plan to change the songs monthly? or whenever you have enough new samples? Thank you so much for this

It's a great idea. You can listen to new bands, you can have it for free anywhere and, if the band thinks it's allright, it's even better. I think no ones get hurt with this xP

That brings me up a new idea.

After we start getting more and more songs in, why not group them into categories of genres so that it can be easier for us users to find bands we like?

We'll come to that, eventually. First we need to get more songs and open the section 'officially'. We're still sorting some things out, but hopefully it would be done next week.

I have to say this idea is simply great and convenient to find new bands.

I am actually writing down the info on the tracks that I liked in hopes of finding the album in stores, this idea is brilliant, thanks!

Tomorrow or Friday a track from heavy Lord will be available and this is a track from their UPCOMING album which will be released next week. Great Sludge Doom from The Netherlands. So keep your eyes open.

It might just be me, but when I try to listen to the songs the sound is extremely loud...and my computer's soundlevel is as low as it can be (without it being shut of)...is there any way you can turn down the volume?

Strange, because over here at my computer the sound is just about right, totally not too loud.

Mine doesn't open any player either.

Have you tried messing with the volume controls? It should be next to your clock at the bottom right.

Well yes of course I have...as I said earlier it's as low as it can get without it being muted...

Oh I thought you were talking about your speaker volume.

I hate to say it but the only other thing I can think of is that its just your computer. Does it happen with anything else that plays from the internet?

it'll be faster if you just type http://www.metalstorm.ee/mp3 in your address bar, it will go directly to the Mp3 page. Anyway i agree that a shortcut should be added (well maybe after the site is moved to the new server )
