Fundraising campaign update

Hey everyone, so today I wanted to provide an update to our GoFundMe campaign! We’re currently 21 percent of the way towards our initial fundraising goal. The campaign has seen a lot of clicks and interest, but progress has been slower than expected. If you’ve already donated or shared the link, thank you. Your support helps keep the site running and focused on the music.

TheNwothm is an 100% independent non-profit project run entirely by volunteers from around the world. Since launching in 2023, we’ve covered hundreds of bands through news, reviews and interviews. Our aim is to give artists a platform and keep traditional heavy metal alive.

This fundraiser helps cover core site costs for the year ahead. If we reach our target, we’ll also be able to produce flyers and stickers to grow the community offline. You can view the campaign by clicking the banner or scanning the QR code here:

We’re proud of what we’ve built so far, including the successful branding campaign that gave the site its own identity. If you believe in what we’re doing and want to help us move forward, any contribution makes a real difference.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far:

Current fundraiser: Melissa Nee I Bampilis Panagiotis

Thanks for helping us keep true metal alive and independent. – Rob and TheNwothm team

Hey @digital_justice_society at past Digital Lounges we’ve some really greate music playing in the background as part of the lounge, which was amazing btw. Such a vibe.

Could we possibly have a way to play music by local small artists and say show on a screen who’s playing and also to have a playlist folks could get if they want.

Imagine if this was just using all open tools or at least a more ethical option that Spotify.

Just an idea, would love peoples suggestions.
