Metal radio stations

This page collects 30 live radio stations playing metal, from 12 countries. The busiest are metal rock radio, 1055 Rock - Thessaloniki, ROCK FM Classic Rock and Bandit Metal. Each stream was checked before publishing, so the stations here actually play.

Most metal stations come from Indonesia (6), The United States Of America (4), Sweden (2), Bulgaria (2), Portugal (2) and Chile (2). They broadcast mainly in english, bulgarian and norwegian. Stations tagged metal often carry related tags too — most commonly rock, hard rock, heavy metal and classic rock — so the same station may appear on several genre pages.

8 of these stations stream at 192 kbps or better, the highest being Megarock Radio 320k at 320 kbps, which is worth choosing if you are listening on speakers rather than a phone. By format the mix is MP3 (24), AAC (5) and AAC+ (1).

Listening to metal from different countries is one of the more interesting things internet radio makes possible: the same genre is programmed differently by a station in Indonesia than by one in The United States Of America, from the songs chosen to how much talking sits between them.

Nothing is needed beyond the browser — no app, no account, no payment. Press play on any metal station and it starts. The heart icon saves a station to your favourites, kept in your own browser and shown at the top of every page here. For stations that broadcast it, the track currently playing appears in the player at the bottom of the screen.
