No Clean Singing is an American heavy metal news and media website based in Seattle. The website primarily covers extreme music,[1] and "bands with vocalists who exclusively scream, growl, or otherwise avoid melodic, 'traditional' singing".[2][3] Islander is the site's owner.[4]

No Clean Singing features news, album reviews, interviews, and event calenders.[2] Unlike most heavy metal websites, it does not publish negative reviews.[5] Islander has said that when he launched the website, he vowed that he "write about music I liked and wanted to recommend, rather than pretend to be some kind of critic [...] [and] to support music I enjoyed rather than tell people what they shouldn't listen to or make fun of bands."[4]
