IMPORTANT STUFF

ABOUT US
Maximum Metal was started in 2003 by a few guys who just wanted a forum for communicating about hard rock and heavy metal and we have raised our fists for the style ever since. Our mission is to be a comprehensive metal source and entertainment site for fellow fans such as ourselves. We offer news, personal reviews, interviews with indy and major metal stars, columns, picture galleries, and our own exclusive features. Our active staff of writers and photographers are from various areas of the world--US, Europe, Asia, etc., making us a global metal ezine. If you get the urge, please give us your thoughts on Maximum Metal. This site will be constantly updated and modified for the metal community that has given, and still gives, so much to us.

CONTACT & SUBMISSIONS
We can be reached for news, requests and general noise here: news@maximummetal.com

EDITOR'S NOTE We have moved, along with the industry, to downloading digital content for review instead of receiving physical cds. If you have a link or electronic press kit to promote music, please email that to news@maximummetal.com. We want to thank all of the bands that have gotten in touch with us and have sent promos and links over the years; however, there is only so much time to answer correspondence though we try our best. There is simply waaaaay more metal to cover than we have personnel to cover it.

JOINING US
Maximum Metal is always looking to add staff members who know heavy metal and have the motivation to write about it. Our staff is primarily self-motivated and you'll get out of it what you put into it. The current batch of earth dogs can be seen here: [Staff Page]

ACCOLADES

"You guys do killer work over there! I know the big national print mags seem to overshadow the underground, not unlike the music scene. But without a solid underground there is no mainstream in music; that's how it kind of works with publications.

And with all the crap-ass fodder shitzines out there you guys put out some high-quality reviews and coverage..." --Dave, Earsplit Promotions
