TheNwothm is built to make a genuine difference for bands. Our aim is simple: to champion traditional metal from across the world and give artists of every size a platform where their work can be heard, respected, and taken seriously. We believe that great music deserves visibility, whether it comes from a long‑established act or a band releasing their first EP. Signed or unsigned, emerging or experienced, if you’re creating honest, powerful heavy music, we want to help you reach the listeners who care about it.
While we value the material we receive from labels and PR companies, we’re just as committed to hearing directly from bands themselves. If you’ve got news to share, a record on the way that you’d like reviewed, or you’re interested in setting up an interview, send it in. We’re always happy to receive new submissions. You can submit your music through the form below or by emailing thenwothm@gmail.com, and we read every message personally.
We accept both digital and physical album submissions. Digital releases allow us to cover your music quickly, while physical copies give us the chance to explore your work in more depth. They’re also ideal for unboxing features, which help fans discover your release in a more tangible and engaging way. Bands who want to send physical copies for review or an unboxing can arrange this by getting in touch first, and we’ll guide you through the process.
Our goal is to support the scene, highlight the artists who keep traditional metal alive, and help your music reach the audience it deserves.
We primarily cover NWOTHM, epic heavy, heavy doom, NWOBHM, speed metal, and the crossover styles around them.
