It's been 5 years since the conception of Global Metal Blog these days. I thank all those of you who keep coming back to indulge in my writings about metal, hard rock, and perhaps not least, their foul antitheses.

Feat., Sleep, Behemoth, Tom Morello, Green Lung, Sigh, The Ocean et al.

When there's a negative amount of shits left to give

The meaning of the album cover is that symbolism shouldn't be applied carelessly

A case of the album title being as innovative as the album

Feat. Gorod, Mastodon, Exumer, Electric Callboy, Russian Circles et al.

Kinda like Metallica's "ReLoad", only written by a self-righteous sex offender

The 10 best nu-metal albums according to someone who was actually there

Other working titles allegedly include "Plop!", "Kapow!", and "Klugga-foom!"

Good news, it seems. The kind people over at FeedSpot.com have been kind enough to, by their own initiative, rank Global Metal Blog #68 on their list of metal music blogs.

Feat. Fleshcrawl, Warning, Tarja, Blood Incantation, August Burns Red, et al.

To reiterate: Not everything is metal

They insist upon themselves, and you wouldn't want it any other way

Getting you caught in a mosh since 1981

Surrendering to the gravity and the unknown

30 years of degeneration in 90 minutes

From out of the bedpan and into the purifying fire

"Like Cooper's career, a bumpy ride, but a pleasure all the same"

Feat. Elder, Devin Townsend, Acid Reign, Darkthrone, Venom, Sevendust, et al.

Not to be confused with the underrated 1973 Styx album "The Serpent is Rising"

A discussion of the eternal problem that metalheads encounter, but never resolve.
