Heavy Rotation Musicstore & Bar is a cornerstone of Salzburg’s metal scene. Founded in 2002 by Margit and René Brunner, this independent venue combines a specialised record shop with a bar steeped in metal culture. The atmosphere is loud, friendly, and unmistakably devoted to the genre — a place where Cannibal Corpse and AC/DC share the playlist, and where visitors are just as likely to leave with a rare import CD as they are with a mead in hand.
Originally opened as a pure music store, Heavy Rotation later expanded to include a bar in 2009 and moved both elements into a larger shared location in 2011. Inside, you’ll find racks of CDs, vinyl, shirts, and DVDs, alongside a powerful ordering service that caters to even the most obscure requests. The bar itself offers a rotating menu of beers, meads, snacks, and homemade food, and features games like darts and foosball to keep the evenings lively.
