Promoting REAL Metal Online Since '95!

About Me


Who is Metal Rules?
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. The writing and administrative staff is comprised of people from Finland, Sweden, the United States, Australia, and Canada. 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 13 years online, you can rest assured we are here to stay.
What Do We Do?
We have covered such prestigious metal festivals as: Germany’s Wacken Open Air, Finland’s Tuska Open Air, Sweden Rock, and many more. We also cover tours as they hit different cities around the world. We’ve also interviewed all the big name artists in the metal world: Ronnie James Dio, 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.com has released a couple of CD’s, namely, METAL-RULES.com VOLUME I and the debut from Viperine THE PREDATOR AWAKENS.
As for what kind of metal you’ll see covered at Metal-Rules.com, we like all forms of REAL metal. As long the band remains true to what metal is about then it is a potential candidate for inclusion in Metal Rules. We have power metal, thrash metal, death metal, traditional metal, progressive metal, black metal, glam metal, etc.
If there are any other questions you’d like to see answered here let us know and we’ll do our best to answer it here.
