Metal and caffeine collide. Metal Blade Records, the legendary label behind some of the heaviest riffs ever unleashed on the planet, has teamed with Concept Cafes to drop its first official private label coffee — and it’s shredding taste buds worldwide.
This isn’t just coffee. It’s a sonic journey in a cup. Concept Cafes, already brewing with Metal Blade artists like Cannibal Corpse and acts including Testament, GWAR, Ice Nine Kills, Soulfly, and others, helped craft a blend inspired by early Metallica, Yngwie’s pyrotechnics, D&D, Star Wars, and all the fantasy-fueled chaos of the metal universe. Think Heavy Metal Magazine in liquid form: ferocious, immersive, unapologetically loud.
Roasted by Coterie Coffee Co., the brew hits as hard as the riffs that define Metal Blade’s legacy. “When the grind of metal meets the grind of beans, you get a brew as bold and unrelenting as the riffs that define us,” says the Metal Blade team. “This isn’t just coffee—it’s energy for the hardcore listener who demands chaos with their caffeine.”
Concept Cafes adds: “We’ve basically evolved into a coffee record company ourselves. Partnering with Metal Blade lets us honor a legacy, bring new fans to metal, and pour a little headbanging into every cup. The Blade is as sharp as ever…just don’t cut yourself on that guillotine.”
For fans of heavy riffs, heavy metal, and even heavier coffee: the forge is open. The grind begins now.
