There are the MFF staff blogs, of course, but I thought it might be cool to have a place to post other links or blogs relating to metal that other forum members might find interesting.

Here are a couple of sites I subscribe to:

Atmospheric Black Metal Kitchen (http://abmkitchen.blogspot.com) I started reading this when it was more of a food blog, but I found I really found the non-food-related content very interesting, even though I'm not a black metal fan.

Blistering (http://www.blistering.com) General metal news.

I also like Enyclopaedia Metallum: http://www.metal-archives.com.

Any links you guys want to share?

Yeah, the Enyclopaedia Metallum is awesome! Lately, the site has been down, but it works well most of the time!

I noticed it was down this evening. Hm. Maintenance perhaps.

I was on Encyclopaedia Metallum earlier today...

Another site I like a lot is Dark Lyrics - which a lot of people might already know about.

http://www.darklyrics.com/

OK, this is my go-to site for finding a lot of female-fronted metal CDs, and the customer service is excellent:

Sonic Cathedral - www.soniccathedral.com

http://www.metalstorm.ee/pub/fun.php

Classic.

@ Almagest: that's a great site! I just read the 101 Rules of Power Metal and it was hilarious! Thanks!

Don't forget the epic sequel, it's even more ... epic. And more on topic with regard to Finnish metal.

@ Almagest: I'm killing myself laughing.

RE. #39: "Dragonforce, therefore, is the most epic band possible." -

Re. "49. If you watch all the extended editions back to back, you can consider yourself epic. And unemployed." -

And: 55. Irrelevant to whether you're gay or not [which you aren't] you fancy Tuomas Holopanien AND Tarja Turunen.

This is making my day, man!

OK, this one is pretty much self-explaining, I suppose:

http://www.neoclassicalmetal.org

A forum devoted to our beloved guitar heroes, shredders and virtuosos. Mainly in the neo-classical field, but not limited to it.

All those sites are great! I already visit some of them on regular basis, and I will go do that with some others.

I came across this site when Metal Archives was down. It's a pretty interesting site and a somehow good replacement if the archives are down. http://www.spirit-of-metal.com.

Another link relevant for the topic, but not exclusively about metal: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com

James & I have set up a heavy metal blog - totally just for fun.

My Webzine ^_^ Got an interview with Kivimetsän Druidi on the way.

For anyone interested, my favourite metal CD reviewer, Jon, has a fantastic review of the new Avantasia album out:
