Metal label Nuclear Blast Records has announced a collaboration with The Sandbox. Together they have created Blast Valley, a virtual world dedicated to metal culture and gaming. This digital land includes a giant scene at the heart of a volcano, a vinyl factory, secret crypts, and (of course) a bar. Following its launch, Blast Valley will evolve through time and welcome in new events such as virtual gigs, avatar collection launch, and release parties. Read below for more information.

Nuclear Blast states:
“Blast Valley is a place where unforgettable experiences are crafted and where bonds with newfound friends are forged. Join us as we celebrate the power of metal and revel in the camaraderie it fosters. Prepare for some upcoming surprises with partners from the scene.”
Players from all around the world are invited to unite and participate in the most important quest of their lives: to revive the power of metal within Blast Valley. Guided by the keeper of the land and guardian of the metal spirit, The Reaper, the main quest, once accepted, is to explore every corner of the land to complete a series of tasks to bring the metal energy back.
