Launched early last fall, GIMME METAL TV combines the power of MTV-like linear broadcasting with livestreaming, and offers music videos, short form artist-created content, long form music documentaries, movies, and so much more.
Issues GIMME CEO Tyler Lenane of the channel’s inaugural virtual event, “GIMME is going to do for ticketed live events what it did for metal music streaming: reinvent the experience by focusing on building community around the music. Doing our first ticketed event with Season Of Mist is super exciting. They are a total force when it comes to discovering new and unique talent in metal. I think Gaerea is a great example of that. Season Of Mist have been amazing partners to GIMME since we started, and it only makes sense that we should be working together on this new service.”
