About the Show
Born in the basement. Built for the underground.
Small Stage Slaughter is a weekly YouTube show hosted by lifelong metalheads who refuse to let the smaller scenes die. We dig through demos, dive bars, and dirty SoundCloud links to find the bands worth your ears.
Reviews. Interviews. Reactions. Skull-rated rankings. If your band plays heavy and plays hard — we want to hear it.
