What did I stumble upon here?

This site is devoted to metal music in or around Blacksburg, Va. This is a quick reference for all the metal happenings in (or near)Blacksburg.

Why this site exists

I want to bring metal music to Blacksburg; it's severely lacking (in my opinion). By showing that there is a need for metal in Blacksburg, maybe bands will start touring through here.

This site exists to allow fans of metal music to find who's playing where in or around Blacksburg, Va. I will have a section for shows, a section for bands (with links to websites of course), a section for a personal blog about metal that I will update when I feel necessary, and, of course, an "About Me" section.

This will be a community of metal bands and fans.

Update-5/5/08

Take 1: So, I've had a ridiculously stressful past few days. Hence, why I haven't updated. I also have finals, so I probably won't be updating until at least the end of the week.

Take 2: Because this website (at this time) is for a grade, I won't be able to update for a minimal of 2 days for grading. Sorry.

Take 3: Once I'm done, I will add a show I've found, review a few albums, post some blogs about the metal news (Sebastian Bach and Hatebreed's singer working together—I know you can't wait for that.

Update-4/23/08

Take 1: Happy Birthday Ma!

Take 2: So while surfing for some news and info, MetalSucks linked a linked a preview for Opeth's new song and Kataklysm's new song. I must say they are freaking sweet!

Take 3: Yesterday was Earth Day and whether you agree with Global Warming and other environment or not, Testament is doing something pretty cool. Follow the jump to my Blog to find out why.

Update-4/20/08

Man, it's been a while. It's been a few stressful days, followed by a few great ones (took a trip to The Ohio State). But yeah, new blog about Bigfoot being seen in Florida. I wish I could make this up. Follow the jump for Bigfoot.

Update-4/16/08

Take 1: What the hell is going on with Through the Eyes of the Dead? I've posted another blog regarding Deathcore band Through the Eyes of the Dead and the revolving door of people. Follow the jump to read the blog.

Take 2: On another note, it's April 16; one year after the tragic shootings at Virginia Tech. I will not post anything today. neVer forgeT.

Update-4/15/08

Take 1: So, while searching for something to post for a blog, I found out that Children of Bodom's new album, Blooddrunk, is streaming in its entirety on AOL (random much?). But follow the jump to my Blog section to the link and a little review of the CD.

Take 2: I really wish I didn't read MetalSucks sometimes. I'm trying to find VA bands, not find out about NJ bands. Oh well, good bands are good bands right? Well, after reading a post by MetalSucks talking about NJ's own The Binary Code, I opted to investigate. HOLY PROGRESSIVE GOODNESS BATMAN! Theses guys are pretty sweet. I've also posted the link in the Bands section.

Take 3: It's a monster of a Tuesday. Why? Follow the jump to my blog to find out.

Update-4/14/08

Now I know this is a site dedicated to metal in Blacksburg, but I'm going to post a link to a New Jersey band that's pretty raw—Delian League— in the Bands section.

Update-4/13/08

So I created a few other pages (so it's not just a homepage anymore). Also was surfing around for something cool to link to and came across this "interesting" definition regarding metal. I'll probably end up writing about it sometime soon in my blog.

Also, if you're into metal (which I'm assuming you are since you're here), check out the Metal Militia Music Club at Virginia Tech. NOTE: YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF FACEBOOK TO VIEW THAT CLUB! It's pretty straight though.

First blog posted. While, it's not techincally metal-related, I just couldn't resist. Follow the jump to the blog.

Update-4/11/08

Finally, the logo/header is centered and looks sweet (if I may be so bold).
