Metal Blade Records and BraveWords have announced a strategic partnership to integrate Metal Mondays, an interactive audio trivia experience, into BraveWords.com.

The collaboration marks the first time the platform will be fully embedded on a major metal media site, significantly expanding its reach to millions of engaged metal fans.

Metal Mondays, originally launched on iOS and Android, has built a dedicated player base that returns weekly to test knowledge, discover new music, and compete for leaderboard dominance.

The new web-based version preserves the original format while enhancing accessibility and engagement.

The initiative allows fans to explore decades of metal music through audio-driven trivia, global leaderboards, and exclusive prize opportunities.

It also deepens connections to Metal Blade’s extensive catalog, including landmark releases from Whitechapel, Cannibal Corpse, Cattle Decapitation, GWAR, and Allegaeon.

The move reflects a broader trend in fan engagement, combining music discovery with competitive gameplay.

Metal Blade Records, founded in 1982 by Brian Slagel, and BraveWords, established in 1994, are both pivotal institutions in the heavy metal community.

The partnership transforms BraveWords.com into an interactive hub for metal fans, offering ongoing challenges, deep dives into artist histories, and opportunities for sponsorship and fan engagement.

The collaboration is driven by the mutual recognition of Metal Mondays as a proven, sticky, and culturally resonant experience within the metal community."
