About Metal Express Radio:

www.MetalExpress.no features over 40,000 hand-picked killer tracks, from the earliest days by the forefathers of Hard Rock in the late 1960's, to freshest Heavy Metal just now hitting the streets.

We play predominantly Hard Rock and Traditional, Thrash, Melodic, Glam, and Progressive Metal, with occasional trips into the Symphonic, Death, Nu, Hardcore, and Black Metal realms. Basically, if it's got balls and it's good, we probably have it ... or can get it upon requests.

2 times per day, Monday through Friday, new music is featured on The 12th Hour Show (12:00 and 24:00 Central European Time, or 6 a.m./p.m. New York City time).

Look for the notice on the www.MetalExpressRadio.com Home Page that The DJ Is ON-LINE ... when you see this prompt, feel free to make your requests directly by clicking on the REQUESTS button directly below the prompt. Know, however, that requests from persons who make donations to Metal Express will always be played first!

We expand our inventory of music daily, and are always looking for suggestions on how we can improve our radio stream, along with suggestions on tracks that we should get our hands on to include in our music library. You can send general emails to us at metalexpress@gmail.com.
