Ben Koller (Converge, Killer Be Killed, Mutoid Man) has teamed up with royalty expert/musician Dan Hegarty (Conflict One Zero) to launch the Heavy Music Collective. Operating as a division of publishing administrator Word Collections, the collective already boasts clients like Metallica, Baroness, Converge, The Offspring, and Yngwie Malmsteen. Metallica, through Black Squirrel Partners, came aboard as a lead investor in Word Collections back in 2023.
