BAMR BAY AREA METAL REGISTRY
BAMR
Bay Area Metal Registry — Open Records Division — Est. 2026
The Bay Area metal scene is deep, active, and largely invisible to anyone who doesn't already know where to look. BAMR exists to change that — a single place where fans can discover local acts, where bookers can find bands and make contact, and where the scene itself is documented and accessible. Every registered entity gets a file. Every file is a door in.
Now Filing
The Registry is now accepting registrations from metal and metal-adjacent entities operating within the nine-county Bay Area jurisdiction. If your band is active, we want you on file. A dedicated entity page — your file — will be built and published in the registry for anyone looking for new bands to follow, shows to attend, and acts to book.
