“Due to the brutal Covid 19 restrictions which did not allow live audience attendance, or in person events, the 2021 Annual Metal Hall of Fame Charity Gala and it’s streaming platform availability were extremely delayed,” says Metal Hall of Fame President/CEO Pat Gesualdo. “Nevertheless, the Metal Hall of Fame still stood strong under these monumental restrictions, and found the best possible way to continue the annual event that Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Fans love, and look forward to every year.”
