So, who out there remembers when MTV landed on our TV screens? Who also remembers Vanessa Warwick? Finally, who remembers the infamous Headbangers Ball?
Well, have I got news for you reprobates, the amazing people at Staccs have brought back all those things you love to hate in the incarnation of a new TV show, hosted by the wonderful metal queen herself Vanessa.
Heavy Metal HeyDaze has already started streaming through the Staccs channel on Samsung TV and Pluto TV in the Nordics territory only. The show is co-hosted by Sara Harding, producer of MTV’s ‘Access All Areas’ and also an award -winning music producer herself.
Bringing their collective experience in the industry, together they will revisit those good old days, but also focus on introducing and presenting new music, and take a look at the movers and shakers today.
Fans can look forward to live music, interviews and feature pieces that will bring them closer to their heroes and herald a triumphant return to seeing the metal community represented on screen.
As a tech startup, Staccs began in 2021 in Sweden, as a subscription-only at first but now it is hoping to be more thoughtful and exclusive in its programming. New episodes of Heavy Metal HeyDaze can be seen each month and repeat episodes are available each week.
Vanessa says “Gone are the days of staying up late to watch these shows or having to record episodes on VHS, as Staccs can offer this rocking content on demand. Keep it heavy!”
Sounds like an amazing opportunity for artists and I am hopeful that many musicians will get the chance to take part. To be able to reach a global audience is a huge advantage for bands to promote their work, their tours or generally have a natter about what they are up to. The fans I’m sure will be glad of the flexibility this type of scheduling would offer.
A bold mix of the old and the new, re-live all those guilty pleasures, and find yourself accumulating a few more along the way. You can get more information at staccstv.com and avail yourself to metal on demand.
For what you are about to receive, raise your horns my friends!
