BraveWords Records Is Seeking Submissions for KnuckleTracks

Compilation of the Hardest, Heaviest, Loudest and Most Unrelenting Tracks in Metal Today

TORONTO, CANADA (May 8, 2026) — BraveWords Records is opening the gates!

BraveWords Records are now accepting submissions from bands around the world to be featured on “KnuckleTracks Volume One” — a compilation of the hardest, heaviest, loudest, and most unrelenting tracks in metal today. If you have a great rock song, we want to hear it!

What exactly is KnuckleTracks you ask? It was the name of Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles world famous official CD sampler that came free with every issue of the magazine, when it was launched in February/March 1997 (Issue No. 16).

Almost 30 years later, KnuckleTracks lives again!

“KnuckleTracks helped launch and propel bands to the next level,” BraveWords Founder/CEO “Metal” Tim Henderson remembers fondly. “And here we are doing it again to a new wave of exciting bands that want to be heard around the world!”

And this isn’t for the weak. This is for bands that hit hard, play louder, and refuse to be ignored.

If your track belongs in the pit, we want to hear it.

Submit now and take your shot at standing alongside the next wave of hard and heavy music.

Visit BraveWordsRecords.com and use the Submission form here. Make sure you mention in the notes that you are submitting for KnuckleTracks.
