Metal Heaven (2020)

This article is about the 2020 location. For the one in 2077, see Metal Heaven (2077).

Metal Heaven was located in the Upper Eastside district of Central Night City.

Overview

Metal Heaven was advertised as the audiophile's nirvana, with the building housing supplies for every musical need. The store's reputation was soo good that, despite the large number of chromers in the area, corporates were willing to come here regularly to pick up their classical TiCDs. The store included a trio of ceremet robo-dobermans to ensure these well-paying customers were not harassed.

On the first floor of Metal Heaven, there was a full line of domestic, imported, and garage discs. Though they were more expensive than normal. If you didn't find the album you were looking for, the store could put an order for you. It was rumored that the employees at this establishment were able to find any recorded music, no matter from where.

Downstairs there was a small recording studio, which the store's owners rented out at exorbitant prices. The quality was good, but not excellent. On the good side, they would produce and package your album for you.

The second floor was the one that deserved all the attention. This space housed the best musical instruments you could imagine. Did you ever dream with a twelve-string bass with active pickups, fruitless neck, fully-programmable drum machine, parametric equalizer and nine other optional effects, hand-carved and painted with the pigment of a rare Australian plant that caused the instrument to glow under certain lighting conditions? For the right price, it could be belong to you. Metal Heaven specialized in custom instruments, though they also had many of the major brands for sale as well. With specialist technicians on hand at all times, they were able to take your dream and turn it into an instrument you could play.

The D.J.'s, a chromer gang, occasionally extended their protection to Metal Heaven in hopes they would get some hi-tech handouts in return. And from time to time they stalked the building's entrance to see if they could approach any famous musical artist that happened to be there. On the northeastern corner of the block there was also a badly-abused dataterm.
