Louder

Louder is the ultimate resource for alternative music coverage and the home of iconic rock brands Classic Rock, Metal Hammer and Prog. With a combined reach of over five million followers across social media, we're the largest and most influential alternative music website in the world.

Since the first issues of Metal Hammer, Classic Rock and Prog magazine were published in 1986, 1998 and 2009 respectively, they have served as the definitive authorities on rock music. In 2017, Future bought all three brands, relaunching them under the new parent brand of Louder and ensuring that everything under the banner of rock, metal, prog, punk, grunge, indie, alt.rock, blues, emo and everything in-between were covered, courtesy of journalists with decades of experience across the industry.

Louder brings you the latest news in rock and alternative music, original interviews and exclusive access, and we'll tell the stories and share the opinions that matter. We host expert reviews of the essential latest releases you need to know about, as well as curating the ultimate guides to the artists that have defined rock music over the last 60+ years.
