Ian, you can copy and paste your reviews to the new site once you've registered. I did so with a couple of my Blue Oyster Cult reviews, and will definitely continue with the other metal-related reviews I have written so far.

I also look forward to a huge argument when Robbie Williams is suggested for Metal-Related, as he used to play a thrash version of 'Back For Good' as an encore

Should be done quite automatically.

We will keep you posted on the subs, soon. Embarrassed

Thanks for the suggestion Embarrassed

Maybe later, since we'd like to focus on mainstream metal genre now and when the credibility increase + visitors we might go with bordering subgenres.

The name escapes me now, but there's also a case of a hardcore christian pop/gosepl artist that made an album covering hard rock and metal tunes from a few years ago ;-)

Maybe just expand the Traditional Heavy Metal sub and call it Traditional Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. Bands like AC/DC and Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin would fit better in a genre like that IMO.

I've registered and started reviewing. I like quite a bit of metal, so I'll have a good time over there. I'm also really psyched about Classical and Jazz archives.
