The HM Metal Tag 2026!
As the ashes of 2025 are still smoldering, we collectively look to the future for some strands of hope or perhaps just a bit of fun. For the Youtube metal community, that could mean anything, from late night beers with friends discussing metal current events, to collection updates, interviews or the dreaded album reviews that TENS of fans watch, one thing is for sure, The Metal Tag has become an annual tradition in the metal VC.
Created by Scott The Rock Scout, further perpetuated by Heavy Metallurgy, it is now time for the 2026 Metal Tag. If you are a long standing channel with thousands of viewers, or just getting started, The Metal Tag is a fun exercise that familiarizes yourself with your collection, and gives your audience more of a candid view into your thoughts on the music we all love. 20 simple questions = layup content for your channel.
This years host of questions lurk below! Have at it!
Happy new year from Marty, Alan and the rest of the Heavy Metallurgy Crew!
1-GIDDEY-UP: 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse. Show an album with a horse on the cover (horse-like creatures such as a Pegasus are permitted but you lose some street cred if you show a unicorn).
2-NOSTALGIA: Show an album that you do not think is very good but you can’t bring yourself to get rid of it.
3-GOAT: Show your favorite new album released in 2025.
4-FROM BEYOND: Show a favorite album that is not a heavy metal album.
5-THE UNKNOWN: Show an album that you can’t remember ever hearing someone talk about on YT.
6-FRONT-LOADED: Show an album whose first song is its best song.
7-ENCORE: Show an album that you think would be better if it were longer.
8-FAIL: Show an album you bought that disappointed you.
9-THE RETURN: Show an album you played in 2025 that you had not played in over a year.
10-JOKER: Show an album with hilarious cover art.
11-YEARNING: Name a potential album release you're anxiously awaiting in 2026.
12-COLLECTOR SCUM: In your collection, is there a pesky gap in a band’s discography that you are hoping to fill?
13-EVOLUTION: Talk about a band or album that you think is successfully moving its respective genre forward creatively.
14-TOLD YA SO: Show an album or albums that someone recommended to you, that impressed you enough to purchase it.
15-KING CHEESE: Recommend a power metal album to Marty Worm that you think is exceptional (he’s always on the hunt).
16- TWO MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT: What is the last album you bought in 2025?
17-BRAIN DRAIN: When feeling musical burnout, what is a nostalgic album that always makes you excited about music again?
18-THERE’S WALDO!: Show a classic or older album that you somehow overlooked for many years, that you loved as soon as you heard it.
19-HELLO MY NAME IS: Was there a video or stream that you participated in during 2025 that you are especially proud of? Include a link in the description.
