607,000 people in Germany were living on the streets in 2022. That was 224,000 more than in the previous year. (Source: Bundarbeitsgemeinschaft Wohnungslosenhilfe) And this year there are likely to be many more who have had the rug pulled out from under their feet.
666 is our number. And this year, for the 4th time, we are collecting donations for 666 sleeping bags for the outsiders outside, which we want to distribute directly on site via our chapters. As always, together with our friends from Hanseatic Help, through whom we receive high-quality sleeping bags at a price of 40 euros each. That's 26,640 euros that we have to raise. So here is our heartfelt request: Donate again this year! Tell your friends and acquaintances about our campaign. Even the smallest amount brings us closer to our goal. You can donate to our account:

We are also happy to issue a donation receipt for donations of 66.60 euros or more. Simply send your name, address, amount and date of donation to donations@metality.org.
And speaking of donations and metal spirit: on 25 October, we supported the fundraiser by our member Hanna from the Rhine-Neckar chapter, who urgently needs an assistance dog. After just two days, she had reached her first donation target of 10,000 euros!

Who can imagine stepping in here? Please contact members@metality.org. Would be great! Thank you very much!
23758 is the postcode of Wangels/Weissenhäuser Strand, where the Metal Hammer Paradise will take place again on 17 & 18 November. We will also be there again. With full merch equipment. And in keeping with tradition. After all, the MHP was the first festival where we were able to present ourselves to the general public for the first time after Corona. Drop by for a beer. You can find our stand in the gallery.
7 motifs, 7x LOUDER. 7 treats and three of these for you for dessert. Our design god Götz Ulmer has developed a new advertising campaign for us. Before it is launched, here is an exclusive preview of three motifs for all Metality members. We have now also submitted the motifs to the Art Directors Club (ADC), which awards the "Oscars" for the best advertising campaigns every year. Let's see how metallic our advertising popes are...
