First heavy-metal streaming service Thunderflix launched

A range of high-quality heavy-metal content that can be streamed like on Netflix for a price of €6.66 per month - that's what the new streaming service Thunderflix promises its subscribers.

Platform creator Samuel Douek had the idea for the streaming service due to his "inability to find high-quality, heavy metal to entertain himself as a lifelong music fan."

The platform provides access to "new releases, live performances, documentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, and official content," for a monthly or yearly subscription and can be used on "any mobile device or your TV," according to the website.

Thunderflix‘s library already includes content from a range of metal and hard rock legends like Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Rage Against the Machine, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, and more.

The streaming service includes a variety of metal genres, "from death metal to speed to black to trash and power and folk. [It] is made by metalheads for metalheads," Douek declared.

Douek plans for Thunderflix "to be the main library of official concerts and films that have come out in the last 30-plus years," including "concerts that only existed on VHS or DVD, even those DVDs we got on the limited edition digipaks with bonus concerts or making-ofs."

"We’re not a big corporation, we’re metalheads that want to enjoy our concerts and documentaries! We want to pay artists and labels their fair amount. And we want everyone to enjoy it!"

Thunderflix offers a free 7-day trial to discover the content it has to offer.
