Metal-Rules.com is one of the largest and leading heavy metal sites online. To the right are a number of quotes from just some of the people we work with. This should prove beneficial for those newer PR companies, labels, or festival organizers who may see us as just one of the many faceless online zines slapped together overnight. Metal-Rules.com is a pioneer of the online metal magazine world. It went online in 1995 and quickly grew into one of the world's largest and most respected internet publications. "EvilG", a Canadian from St. John's, Newfoundland, owns the site. The writing and administrative staff is comprised of people from Canada, USA, Finland, Sweden, and Australia. Most of our writers have been metal fans for well over 20 years. We take this music, and what we do, seriously. The site is run as a hobby, by dedicated fans of metal. But with a proven track record of 15 years online, you can rest assured we are here to stay. Metal-Rules.com has covered such prestigious metal festivals as: Germany's Wacken Open Air, Finland's Tuska Open Air, Sweden Rock, Headbangers Open Air, Keep it True, ProgPower, and many more. We also cover tours as they hit different cities around the world. We've interviewed all the big name artists in the metal world: Ronnie James Dio (R.I.P.), Iron Maiden, Celtic Frost, Sebastain Bach, Doro Pesch, Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, Slayer, to name but a few. Every month we cover new CD and DVD releases with somewhere between 50-100 new reviews a month from all metal styles from the brutality of death metal to hard rocking glam metal. Every day we update the site with news releases sent to us by both bands and the industry. We also maintain a very popular forum which has hundreds of posts every day. It is used as an invaluable networking tool for fans and even by a number of bands. Metal Rules has run ad campaigns for several indie bands, t-shirt companies, video gaming companies, and most all of the metal labels. Most all major labels and PR companies send us promotional material for coverage. Metal Rules is read by fans, bands, and industry. Overall, we consistently get several million visits every month from several hundred thousand unique readers. Detailed statistics can be made available to potential advertisers upon request.
