Metal Mayhem (formerly Metal Mania or Headbangers) is a block of classic
heavy metal/
hard rock music videos that first aired on the American television channel
VH1 Classic. The series originally featured music videos from 1970s to early 1990s, but since VH1 Classic's transition to
MTV Classic, it has now incorporated music videos from the 1980s to mid-1990s and some videos from the 1970s. The block now airs every Friday between 8pm and midnight
Central Time. In addition, Metal Mania was briefly changed to Headbangers before reverting to its original until it was changed to Metal Mayhem.
