Metal heads, please check out my metal-obsessed blog, discussing metal in all its forms and from a personal perspective. http://wp.me/p2Hn3C-6K

Hi All, I have spent far too long putting together my Top 20 rock and metal releases of 2012, so please check it out & make this labour of love seem more worthwhile! I have included sample tracks, artwork and short reviews to each album. I hope you enjoy reading it. Cheers...

Hi, I have a series of posts on my blog designed to throw the spotlight on some bands that I love but that are not as popular as they should be - check them out here & if you like the recommendations, please share as much as possible... http://wp.me/p2Hn3C-3m http://wp.me/p2Hn3C-3s...

Hi All, Ever tried to compile a top 5 of your all-time favourite metal albums? I have, and it was tough! Please check it out here to see if you agree or disagree with me: http://wp.me/p2Hn3C-1Z Cheers, Matt The Man Of Much Metal

Hi All, Please check out my new blog, The Blog Of Much Metal: http://wp.me/2Hn3C I try to discuss all and any metal-related topics from a personal perspective as a double decade fan and journo. So far, I've described how I got into metal in the first place and how my tastes have...

Hi All, In addition to writing for Powerplay Magazine here in the UK, I have started to write a blog on all things metal which will also contain links to all the reviews I've written on the web, via ThisIsNotAScene and Ghost Cult. In addition, I talk about all sorts of metal related topics...

Hi Everyone, My name is Matt and I'm a massive rock/metal fan as well as being a writer for the UK-based Powerplay magazine. I also write for ThisIsNotAScene and Ghost Cult websites. I've joined this forum so that I can interact with like-minded people and to just chat 'heavy metal'. I...

Cheers Andreas, I'm going to start the demand for a hoody then: I want a hoody, I want a hoody :-) Anyone with me?!.....

I'm a big fan of Seventh Wonder (as we all are on here, duh!!), but I was wondering when some merchandise will be available? I have spread the Seventh Wonder word as much as I can, but it can't help to advertise some more can it?! In particular, I was hoping that a hoodie or jacket would be...

Hell yeah, I shall be going! I really enjoy Kamelot and Scar Symmetry are different gravy - awesome! Cloudscape and Dreamscape are both very good bands with a lot of promise, and Communic are really cool. To be honest, the only black mark on this line-up is that Jon Oliva's Pain are headling...

I'm gutted to hear all this on the messageboard. I went to the London gig, and was surprised at the low turn-out there. I just wish (as I had tried to plan), I could have got more time off work to follow the band around the UK. Sometimes I really hate the apathy amongst metalheads in the UK -...

Dear God! That is embarrassing! I can't believe that more people would not jump at the chance to see (IMHO) the best metal band on the planet! I was at the London gig and the turn-out was a bit disappointing there. Nevertheless, I had a great time and it was one of the best gigs I have seen...

BTW, Awake used to be called Humanity. They played Bloodstock 04 and then supported Evergrey at the Underwold in Camden a few months ago. They seem to have coincided a name change with the loss of one of their guitarists, I guess.

Cracking show last night - best since "A Night To Remember"! Welcome to Evergrey Frederik! The set list was: Blinded End Of Your Days Rulers Of The Mind As I Lie Here Bleeding Obedience In Remembrance Til Dagmar Still In The Water Monday Morning Apocalypse Solitude Within Mark Of...

Ikoz - good to hear a mention of "Different Worlds" - that was the song that got me into Evergrey as it was the first song I heard - when the voiceover says "please don't touch me, I don't wana be here, I just wanna go home", I often shed a tear because it's just so damn emotional! "Words mean...
