The site, in 2002
A user-built online encyclopedia of heavy metal bands, with discographies, logos, line-ups and reviews.
It is free of adverts and run independently. In January 2022 Stereogum reported that death metal made up its largest share of listings, with about 51,000 bands.
In 2002: Launched in July by a Canadian couple from Montreal using the names HellBlazer and Morrigan. The first band added was Amorphis, on 7 July.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
