Is it me or isn´t the Google custom search missing from the frontpage? I use that feature a lot on PA and I expect to do the same on the new site. Will you add that feature M@X?

Oh and why isn´t there a specific grindcore sub? It´s a rather large sub. I saw a band like Pig Destroyer was labelled death metal. That´s not really a good description of their music. The bio even states that Pig Destroyer is a grindcore act.

Other than that the site looks great

Good stuff, though the site could use a bit of work on organization. Working your way around is a bit messy at the moment.

That is the kind of "constructive" comments I expected from you guys.

Gindcore is a subgenre we will add in the coming days and re-organize things better , as comments comes by.

Thanks for that.

Hi all ,

This is M@X, your dedicated webmaster and admin Embarrassed

I am very excited to share this important news with you.

Based on the success of PA and the fact that I needed to set direction for my professional career, I have decided to play it big with PA and make this music site part of my professional and personal life.

That decision motivated me a couple of months ago, to create more sites like PA and manage them. The plan is to create and manage sites like PA in the following music styles: Prog, Metal, Jazz, Classical and I have in mind to extend my projects to online community about books, TV shows, movies.

So, working with Graphix (PA Admin and close friend), we mixed our ideas and he put in place a new music site very similar in features to Progarchives.com but entirely new technologically. And this new site platform will be the future PA's - that is the plan. So the first site in the new family to go online is www.MetalMusicArchives.com , a PA-like site about METAL music. It's been online since 3 weeks only.

Since PA is covering 3 big sub-genres of METAL, I though that some PA members might be interested in it. We are looking to get active members and collaborators "à la Progarchives.com" to help us managing the community and content. The content (discography) is currently set to update by itself with MusicBrainz.org (thanks to Phil for programming this stuff !!) So basically the admins/collabs at MetalMusicArchives.com would need to work mostly on: new bands, DVDs and bands classifications, forums animation/moderation, reviews/shouts moderation and global quality of the site, working closely with Graphix and me.

So if you are interested in Metal music, check it out, or better, participate and collaborate to help us take the same lead in METAL music as PA did with PROG music: #1.

We also offers multiple ways to stay connected with the site updates:
