The Metal Hall of Fame is a nonprofit organization, dedicated to forever enshrining the iconic musicians and music industry executives responsible for making Hard Rock and Heavy Metal music what it is today. Their contribution to the genre is invaluable, and they continue to inspire fans throughout the world, from generation to generation.
Every January, industry executives and fans attend the Metal Hall of Fame Gala, dubbed “The Most Important Night In Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.” All proceeds go to bringing free music programs to help special needs children.
