From Chad Bowar:

I've been a metal fan since the early 1980s and have really enjoyed bringing my passion for and enjoyment of metal to this site. Heavy metal fans are some of the most knowledgeable and passionate people around, who aren't afraid to make their opinions known. Let me know what artists and genres you'd like to see featured here. Your input is always welcome, and my goal is to make this one of the main sites metal fans go to first when they want information about heavy metal. From the hair bands of the '80s to the most brutal and underground bands of today, all genres and styles of metal have a home here.
