The Metal Discourser, or TMD for short, is an online forum and resource designed to help forward the domain of metal music in the marketplace of ideas. For the serious listener, scholar or musician alike, TMD facilitates scholarly research and discourse about metal as well as opens up high-level discourse to people who are interested in it or have things to contribute but aren't necessarily looking to get involved on a professional scholarly level.

A pleasure to browse leisurely as well as a valuable research tool, TMD's aggregator is by far the most comprehensive metal link archive. From news articles to videos to dissertations, each link is hand-picked and organized throughout over 100 possible categories and sub-categories in the aim of covering all substantive aspects of the metal domain such as sociology, religion, geographic location, business, etc, as well as more specific aspects such as metal's physiological effects on the human body, the advertising and marketing of the music, what it means to 'sell out', the phenomena of church burning, etc. This section of the website seeks to exploit the internet's yet-untapped massive potential as an information technology, with a focus on dramatically increasing the efficiency of storage and reference of metal-related content.
