Welcome back to our monthly column in which we take a look at Spotify’s “monthly listeners” counts and compare several hundred metal bands side by side. For more on why we’re doing this column and the methodology behind it, read this.

After the initial downturn in streaming when the pandemic began, numbers increased over the past two months and have now largely leveled out, with roughly as many bands gaining monthly listeners as losing them over the past month, often tied to whether or not each band has new music or has been in the news.

Some of the biggest gainers in the metal world over the past month included:

Bring Me the Horizon (14.2%)
Static-X (13.6%)
Poppy (14.4%)
Chelsea Grin (21.6%)
Ensiferum (15.5%)
Nekrogoblikon (49.7%)
Rings of Saturn (12.1%)
Enslaved (15.1%)
The Ocean (41.1%)
Ihsahn (29.7%)
Septicflesh (20.8%)
Toxic Holocaust (18.3%)
Inter Arma (25.8%)
Pig Destroyer (36.1%)
Intronaut (11.6%)
Vein (17%)
Moon Tooth (11.5%)
Venom Prison (47.4%)

These rankings, it must be stated, are not comprehensive: these are bands we chose manually, and it is absolutely the case that many bands aren’t included (please email [email protected] if you’d like to see them added next month). For that reason, we haven’t numbered these rankings: to do so would disingenuously give the appearance this is a comprehensive list, which it is not.

**Note: these numbers were compiled on August 1 but haven’t been released until now because I was on vacation (sorry if that offends you!). We have decided to keep the August 1 tallies to make sure these charts reflect accurate comparisons from month to month.**
