A streaming service called Thunderflix has launched, promising heavy metal content at an affordable $6.66 per month.
“Imagine Netflix, but all metal,” commented designer Samuel Douek, who conceived the idea for the streaming platform out of “an inability to find quality heavy metal to entertain himself as a lifelong music fan.”
The service is available now at the aforementioned monthly or yearly price ($66.60) and grants direct access to documentaries, films, interviews, live concerts, and behind-the-scenes footage across compatible devices (iPhone, AppleTV, Android, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV, as of this post).

We want to pay artists and labels a fair amount. And we want everyone to enjoy it!”
