While with products from the company Apple mostly encountered only in certain groups of people to whom iPhone inherently belong (for all of them we can name, for example, hipsters), devices with Androidem can be found in almost everyone, whether it is a certain Pepa Novák, or perhaps president of the usa. This means that Android smartphones are also used by fans of harder music, or metal, and its community in general. However, what applications besides a music player and Spotify could be useful for such a metalhead? That's what we decided to look into.
By the way, it is undoubtedly worth mentioning that if you own a virtual reality headset Samsung Gear VR or other VR devices, forget about the list described below and start downloading applications from Jaunt Inc. This development studio in cooperation with some rock stars, such as Paul McCartney or Jack White, releases virtual reality apps that will put you at their concerts.
7 applications that should not be missing from any metalhead's smartphone:
1) Metal
The Metal app isn't just brilliantly named. Hopefully, it will excite every metal fan with its content and even its design, which is really top-notch. Metal offers the freshest news regarding, surprisingly, metal, and thanks to the "Metal TV" function, it makes available the possibility to immediately watch the latest video clips. In short, it is an application that is perhaps a must for everyone who wants to be in the picture, at least in the metal part.
2) Heavy Metal Encyclopedia
The big encyclopedia of anything even remotely related to metal or whatever. must-have app for every metal fan. Currently, thanks to HME, you can learn about more than 60 bands and read a little about the roughly 000 albums released over the last 180 years of metal history. In addition, the application offers direct links to Spotify, YouTube and the Amazon store, where you can listen to or purchase individual albums or songs. And if you are also interested in this interesting read on PC, there is also a web version available, which you can find at the link <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>, it's worth it!
3) Metal Logo Quiz
It's a boring moment, music is playing in the headphones, but it's not exactly the right moment for some exaggerated perception of the melody or text. What are you going to do? Some would surely turn on their favorite Android game and tried hard to beat their previous score, but after a while it gets boring and then there is Metal Logo Quiz for every metalhead who wants to test their knowledge of band logos, the known, the unknown, the legible and the illegible. And to make it not so easy, the logos are incomplete, partially erased, or literally only a comma remains. For each guessed logo, you get points to advance to the next, naturally harder levels with progressively less and less well-known bands. Please note that although missing diacritics are tolerated, misspellings such as "Mettalica", "Metalicca", "Methalica" or "Rotörhead" will no longer accept you from the Metal Logo Quiz and will award minus points.
4) Metal Quiz
If you've finished the Metal Logo Quiz, it's time to jump into a slightly different Metal Quiz. Lots of questions on this topic will guarantee you hours of fun, and in the worst case, they will convince you that you actually know nothing about metal. But that doesn't matter at all, because quizzes like this one will undoubtedly broaden your horizons. And to make matters worse, the application still offers new content, because users are given the opportunity to add questions, which are then sent to the creators of the application, and then it is only up to them to decide to add them to the next update. And if you're a true connoisseur, with a high score you can also enter the "Hall of Fame", which includes the 99 metalheads with the highest scores or the most knowledge.
5) Música Metal
Since not all of us have 64 GB of free memory on our phone to download all our favorite albums, and a premium account on Spotify is not exactly standard (yet), Música Metal offers itself as a wonderful solution for streaming and even downloading music. Well, of course the metal one, it is divided by genre in the Spanish application and you will find a really huge selection of performers here, from Immortal to Judas Priest and Guns N' Roses to even Evanescence. MusicNetwork_WDG also released a version for rockers Rock music, which, apart from a slightly altered selection, does not differ in any way from Música Metal.
6) Radio Metal
The name says it all. Well, not quite. Radio Metal unsurprisingly offers access to the stream of a huge number of radios, whose content is nothing but the real, metal. Of course, that's not all, in addition, thanks to this application, it is possible to watch broadcast concerts, interviews or radio programs live, and actually that's not all, from newer versions you can also find all possible news from the world of metal in Radio Metal, but this has one minus - they are in French. Well, at least for now.
7) The application of your favorite band
Since even Kim Karadishan has her own app for some reason, it would be a shame if metal bands didn't have their own apps. Currently, you can find a lot of official apps of world-famous and lesser-known groups on Google Play and beyond, and their content is mostly very similar, as it mainly consists of news, videos, selected songs, upcoming concerts and information about the band as such and its members. Performers that have such applications include, for example: Ozzy Osbourne, Linkin Park , Five Finger Death Punch, The Prodigy, Bon Jovi, RHCP whether DRI Also worth mentioning is the application from Mobile Backstage, thanks to which, among others, you can connect with selected bands, including Evanescence, Nightwish, Amon Amarth, Accept, Children Of Bodom, Anthrax or even Black Label Society.
