Earache Metalizer Spotify App: New Bands Added Weekly

In January this year, Earache Records launched the Earache Metalizer app on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform.  The Earache Metalizer went straight into Spotify's top ten apps, and in the three months since its release, has served up millions of tracks to metalheads around the world.

Featuring music from a mind-blowing variety of bands from all sorts of labels, the Earache Metalizer continues to offer fans the chance to create their ultimate metal playlists and share them instantly with friends via Facebook and Twitter.

Unlike most other apps revolving around playlists, however, the Earache Metalizer continues to adapt and grow, adding in new releases and new artists every week, ensuring users are always able to get the latest tracks and infinite new playlist possibilities.

Recent additions have included new releases from the likes of HATEBREED, VOLBEAT, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, BRING ME THE HORIZON, STONE SOUR and many more, with newly-added artists including NAILS, CB6, VANADIUM, HANG THE BASTARD and IRON REAGAN.

Create your own tailored playlists now with the Earache Metalizer app on Spotify at http://open.spotify.com/app/earache

The Earache Metalizer's gritty-looking playlist generator is easy to use - simply use the sliding bars on the mixing desk to choose your ideal mixture of Metal, Thrash, Death and Grind, and then let the Earache Metalizer create your perfect playlist.  You can then name and share your playlist with friends, before doing it all over again, creating as many playlists as you like.
