Radio Metal On: The Brutal

Radio Metal On: The Brutal is deep in Portugal's listing, at 95 of 105. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

Radio Metal On: The Brutal has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

Radio Metal On: The Brutal streams at 192 kbps, above Portugal's median of 128 kbps. It sits with the 78% of the country's stations that reach 128 kbps or better, which is the line this site uses for a stream worth listening to properly rather than in the background.

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