Metal Haven closes after 10+ years....

[Chris Lotesto]

not really a big surprise considering the state of things but a gddamn
shame nonetheless!! HUGE kudos to Mark for helping to keep metal alive
in Chicago and for his HUGE support of Chicago Powerfest and everything else
on the local scene.....all the best to you, brother!

Got wind of this last week and was hoping it wasn't true. Shitty. I bought my first Opeth CD there many moons ago.

Crap! That was one of the places we ALWAYS hit when we go to Chi-town. Made Noodles buy the Ghost in the Ruins CD by Savatage last time we were there. Made him a Criss Oliva fan in the process.

Was a little premature with the RIP statement. The store is still open but for how long is uncertain. Big armageddon sale going on now though. See details on the flyer scan.

Hang in there, Mark!
