METAL IS FOREVER!!

About Me

Hi! My name is Cory Stock. I am a 34 year old metal head originally from Melbourne, now living in Adelaide. I run a milk delivery business with my girlfriend, Steph. When I'm not doing that you'll find me listening to metal with a beer in hand!! I have been actively involved in the Australian metal scene in the past, having worked at the Melbourne music store "Metal For Melbourne", later known as "Metal Labyrinth", when it was run by my Brother. It was there I developed a passion for Heavy Metal, and did what I could to promote the many Australian and International bands who were playing it. On this page you will find some album and gig reviews, some top fives and tens, as well as my monthly playlists. This is my way of supporting the artists that provide us with the music we all love, HEAVY METAL!!
