This Halloween, numerous radio stations throughout the country will unite for “A National Night Of Metal”, in an effort to help preserve heavy metal music.

The campaign was developed by The Hall Of Heavy Metal History. The organization enshrines iconic hard rock and heavy metal musicians and industry executives into an annual Hall Of Fame ceremony every January. With a fanatical global fanbase, they are dedicated to preserving hard rock and metal music for future generations.

“A National Night Of Metal unites the fans, radio stations, industry executives, and DJ’s all at the same time,” says Hall Of Heavy Metal History founder Pat Gesualdo. “The event enables listeners to vote for the albums from their favorite bands, then the DJ’s get to choose their favorite song on the most requested albums. Fans also get a chance to win great prizes and vip access to the all-star induction ceremony. It’s like making Halloween a National holiday for hard rock and metal fans everywhere.”
