Independent Music Blog cool Indie music coverage

The following is a paid review:

I’ve been commissioned to review MetalUnderground.com, a music site that is self explanatory from its name. Even though I’m not a big fan of hard rock / death / black / metal music, I thought I’d take the opportunity because I like exploring music websites of all genres.

Right away when I visited Metal Underground, I was pretty impressed. It seems to have a as much of a “homey” feeling that death metal fan sites can have. The layout is nice and easy to navigate, and the content of its pages is of high quality. There isn’t too much fluff or adspace to distract visitors. Definitely good.

But more needs to be said on the content of Metal Underground. The site has…

• News - It has a highly relevant music news feed. It supports RSS / xml feeds, so you can subscribe to it.
• Band Pages - Little bios and news for whatever metal band you may like.
• Reviews - Very in depth reviews of music. If you’re too lazy to read their well developed paragraphs, there are also two sentences on “highs” “lows,” and then a “bottom line” to summarize.
• Interviews - Over 200 of them. You can have your own band interviewed by them as well, so it could be a good promotional tool.
• Galleries - Bunches of band pictures from live concerts.

Another good aspect of the site is its mission, per say. It always strives to help music fans find new artists that they may like. That’s alot like me, because helping people find new music is the sole purpose behind music bloggers.

So, if you’d like to find a new metal band, or think you may want to give the genre a play on your iPod, snoop around Metal Underground. Peace….or death. (sorry, not funny)
