Metal Mondays is here! This interactive audio game lets music fans show off their hard-won knowledge of one of rock’s most storied labels, Metal Blade Records. Players compete for points and, along the way, learn the rich archive of Metal Blade’s 40+ year history. Try it now inside the Hit Replay app for iOS, Android, or on the web. New editions every Monday.

Created in partnership with the team at Pantheon Podcasts, Metal Mondays offers a new and highly addictive way to extend Metal Blade’s brand and reward fans for their loyalty. As for us at Spooler, we’re thrilled to release another in our growing list of interactive audio experiences.

Adding to the Mix

Spooler’s platform delivers intuitive voice-driven gameplay, and Metal Mondays introduces new “stickier” capabilities. We’ve added community features like scoring and leaderboards to keep players coming back. Text mode allows users to play in spaces where voice isn’t an option. And our advanced analytics detail key performance metrics.

Metal Blade Records founder and CEO, Brian Slagel says, “The technical execution is flawless. Players can identify Slayer riffs, compete globally, and learn metal history all through natural voice interaction. Spooler’s platform makes the entire experience feel magical while handling incredibly complex backend operations.”

New Tools

Metal Mondays is built using Spooler’s node-based editor, an intuitive service that makes it easy to build dynamic audio experiences—games, open-ended stories, personalized briefings, even geo-targeted content based on the user’s location.

In addition to the community features we’ve added for gaming, users can now tap into AI agents, multiple LLM models, and even survey templates to build new ways to engage with their fans.

Interactivity is the future of audio. Our tools turn fans from passive listeners into active participants. Join Pantheon and Metal Blade—work with us to design something unique, fun and addictive for your fans. Contact us to book a demo.
