A map of every single band on the Metal Archives as of March 1st of this year, using the same dataset I used for this site. Each individual dot represents a single band, and each line indicates that two bands have a member in common.
A closeup, showing the lines in a bit more detail.
There are around 177k bands on the Metal Archives, and, of them, about two-thirds can be connected to one another by common members.
#metal#metalarchives#data visualization#social networks#heavy metal#fun fact if you make a graph with 177 thousand nodes the graph visualization software will shit itself and die#so if I wanna visualize any sort of analysis I'm probably gonna need to figure out how I can pare this whole mess down#but I think this kinda looks cool
