Both Heavy Metal and Devils dews provide high quality creator material, but this plan seems to make sense for everyone involved, as they have very small lines that the circles struggle to pick up. As explained by Massive CEO Michael Calero, Heavy Metal and Massive have some history. “A few years ago, Heavy Metal teamed…
