I make documentary-style videos about '80s metal bands. This is all my own research and personal opinion. Nothing should be taken as cold, hard fact. I do as much research as possible given what's available but ultimately, this is all just to the best of my knowledge. If I've gotten something wrong, PLEASE correct me. If you love an album I didn't particularly like, maybe there's something I missed. School me back!

NOTE: All music and video rights belong to the respective owners, not me. This channel is only to promote these bands and their music and to give an overview of a few well known bands as well as some who might not get as much attention as they deserve anymore.

Here we go! It's the first band poll for 2026 and with the help of my Patreon peeps, we've narrowed it down to four bands. Who gets covered next?? It's up to you!

Hey, metallians! Hope you guys enjoyed the Attacker episode to kick off 2026. I just wanted to say thanks to all you subscribers for sticking with me for another year of band documentaries. I'm looking forward to diving into more bands this year and your suggestions are always welcome! I don't know when it will be, but I will open it up to bands who started in the 90s at some point. I'm really wanting to do one on Kamelot, one of my all-time favorites.
Also, if you wanna support the channel, consider joining us over at the Metal School Patreon page! It's crazy cheap and you'll get my initial notes on every album I cover, plus you can also get in on helping pick what bands go on the polls for future episodes. The list is still long and continues to grow, so come add to it! Appreciate you all.

Saw this at a record store in Big Bear and it made me laugh. Technically true I guess.

You guys helped me get my first short with a million views over the weekend, so that was pretty awesome. Check out the Ozzy Osbourne Pepsi Twist commercial I posted if you haven't already. Classic.

Finally, the full story of one of England's loudest band's can be told! With Spinal Tap 2 coming out soon, I thought it would be a great time to catch up with this underrated group. Let me know what YOUR favorite Spinal Tap album/song is.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne
(1948-2025)

While he'll always be known for helping to pioneer darker, heavier music, the Prince of Darkness brought far more light into this world. He will be missed, but his legacy will live on for generations.

Next video should be out soon! So keep an eye out over the next day or two (barring any unforeseen copyright issues). Appreciate all you guys and keep the suggestions coming!

Also, if you wanna help support the channel, feel free to visit the Patreon page: www.patreon.com/MetalSchool136 These videos take a lot of time to make and I can't monetize them because of all the song clips I use. Nothing describes a band like their own music and I think that aspect is an integral part of analyzing a band's history and discography in my videos. But aside from that, the Patreon page allows me to get to know you guys a little more too which is awesome. Either way, love you all and hope ya'll dig the next video!
