The Nuclear Blast Youtube channel is currently inaccessible, due to an “external incident” whose details remain vague: a worrying situation for its 3.3 million subscribers, deprived of content overnight.
A problem still unexplained, but taken very seriously
In a short message published on June 22, Nuclear Blast announced the offline of his YouTube channel following an “external incident”. The label specifies that it works directly with YouTube to identify the cause and restore access as soon as possible: “We will keep you informed as soon as the chain is online again.”
For the time being, no official details have been communicated on the origin of the problem. However, some specialized media as MetalSucks advance the track of hacking by crooks linked to cryptocurrencies. The latter would have taken control of the chain to distribute fraudulent content.
A new hitch in the digital label strategy
This incident comes shortly after another striking decision: last month, Nuclear Blast announced his withdrawal from the X platform, despite a community of more than 213,000 subscribers. Again, no precise justification had been given.
Faced with these disruptions, the label recalls that it remains active on other networks such as Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Bluesky or Spotify. But the temporary disappearance of its YouTube channel remains a major setback: this platform constitutes a pillar of its communication, in particular to distribute official clips and exclusive contained of groups such as Malevoltance, aversions Crown or Meshuggah. An absence all the more heavy as it also deprives fans of a vast catalog of videos.
Update: Although the content published by the channel does not appear in the search results, access to videos seems to have been restored at the moment (even if the label has not made a comment on this subject).
