Catalog Credits
MetalClub’s public band and album catalog is bootstrapped from open, reusable data. We do not copy Encyclopaedia Metallum, and we do not paste Wikipedia articles as biographies.
MusicBrainz
Artist, album, track, member, concert, and relationship facts come from the MusicBrainz core database dump, licensed CC0. See the MusicBrainz data license. We do not import MusicBrainz user tags, ratings, or annotations (those use a non-commercial license).
Wikidata
Metal genre membership, countries, years, and short descriptions come from Wikidata, which is also CC0.
Discogs
Release identifiers, titles, and credits can be enriched from the Discogs monthly dump, licensed CC0. Data provided by Discogs. MetalClub is not affiliated with, sponsored, or endorsed by Discogs. We do not import Discogs marketplace, user, or image Restricted Data, and we do not use the Discogs live API as a stored catalog.
ListenBrainz
Most-listened charts use listen counts from ListenBrainz, keyed by MusicBrainz IDs.
Cover Art Archive
Album covers are linked from the Cover Art Archive (MusicBrainz and the Internet Archive). Those images remain copyrighted by their owners. MetalClub does not claim them.
Wikimedia Commons
Some band photos are linked from Wikimedia Commons files that Wikidata marks as freely licensed. Fair-use Wikipedia photos are not used.
