Metal: Hellsinger Wins The Tin Pan Alley Game Music Award!
The Unknown may have lacked a voice but people have certainly heard her by now! We're honored to announce that we have won the Tin Pan Alley Award for Best Music in a Game from the New York Game Awards! The name of the award refers to a famous area in New York City where music publishers and songwriters set up shop in the late 1800s.
Metal: Hellsinger also recently won The Golden Joystick award for Best Audio and was nominated for Best Score and Music at The Game Awards and in the Steam Awards music category.
Thank you to Two Feathers, who crafted a thunderous score fit for the best artists in the world to perform. These two Swedish composers created the beating heart of the game and for that they deserve a place in hell's eternal hall of fame.
Thank you to all the artists who made the music sing, giving it a voice that could reach across the globe and every corner of the eight Hells.
And let's not forget all the individual developers who crafted the game, putting together many pieces into a savage whole that gave the music purpose and direction, and let players feel its power beneath their fingers as they tore through hell.
And finally, thank you to all of you, the Hellsingers! We wouldn't be here without you.
Rock on, Hellsingers!

Visit hell, see the sights, dethrone the devil — 34% off!
To celebrate 1 million demons headbanging in hell, Metal: Hellsinger is now 34% off, so if you have friends who haven’t played the game but enjoy an evening of hunting the devil and/or blasting demons to a sick beat, you know what to do. 🤘
We hope you’ve all been enjoying the latest update, turning demons to red mist with even more flair than usual thanks to the deadly new combos and weapon skins. And if you truly want to test your metal mettle you can jump into Archdevil mode. 💀
We’re champing at the bit to tell you more about what’s coming, Hellsingers.
Until then, keep making hell fear the beat.
New Update is here: Weapon Combos & Skins, Archdevil Difficulty, and more!
Today, the 1.5 update invites you back to the Eight Hells to unlock corrupted weapon skins, take on a new difficulty mode, and explore new weapon combos to annihilate demons with unholy flair.
Hunt down Coats of Arms for Weapon Skins
Every map now has four secret collectibles for you to hunt down. Each difficulty, including the new Archdevil difficulty, also has 4 per level.
As you acquire these, you will earn a corrupted skin for each weapon in the game at certain thresholds. In addition
In order to get the complete corrupted set, you must scour all levels at every difficulty.
Defeat Archdevil Difficulty
There's a new boss in town, and Arch Devil is its name. This mode turns everything to max, all cylinders firing: more, stronger enemies, and no last stand. There's about as much room for error here as there is mercy in Hell.
Complete Beast difficulty to unlock Arch Devil.
New Combos
We wanted different playstyles to be awarded. These new combos add even more variety to your symphony of destruction, and do wonders for your fury and score, too. Every combo is based on performing certain actions on consecutive beats. Take a look:
Kill Trio: Destroy a demon three beats in a row.
Chaos and Slaughter: Destroy an Explosive Crystal, then slaughter.
Lethal Cycle: Damage an enemy on two beats, then switch weapon and kill.
Basilisk Mode: Kill, dash, kill on three beats.
Double Hit and Run: Destroy object, dash, dash again, destroy another object.
You can jump over to the full patch notes to see the complete list of changes and additions, including a new elite Seraph demon, balancing, and bug fixes!
Rock on, Hellsingers! 🤘

Keep rocking!
Love, Two Feathers”

Metal: Hellsinger Gets its First Discount!
From today until November 10, Metal: Hellsinger is 20% off!
This is the first discount the game has enjoyed since launch, and we look forward to initiating new Hellsingers to the integral joy of obliterating demons to the beat of heavy metal.
Last week’s free update to the game added a series of accessibility and difficulty options, including free controller remapping, dead zone settings, a system cursor option, and a new Assist Mode.
If you want to smack demons and groove to the music without worrying about keeping up with or waiting for the beat, the new Assist Mode is for you.
This mode makes every shot count as on-beat, which makes a huge difference in terms of damage, weapon effect, and keeping the music going. Keep in mind that playing in this mode will omit you from the leaderboards.
With this patch available, the discount, and community-made mods coming in with new songs to change up the game, now is a fantastic time to dive into Metal: Hellsinger.
Mods can be found through our Discord.
