DrGnu - Metal 2

DrGnu - Metal 2 sits in the tail of Germany's 1,409 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

Broadcasting in English from Germany, alongside 397 other stations there doing the same. German is the country's commonest broadcast language in this directory, so this is the second shelf of a bilingual listing.

The 1990s corner of Germany's dial is three stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

No bitrate is recorded against this stream. It is a common gap: the value is scraped from the stream's headers and plenty of servers do not send them. Press play and your browser will tell you more in two seconds than the field would have.

Its audio comes from fluxfm.streamabc.net. Two other stations in Germany stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.
