It’s kind of weird to think that this really started as a kind of “let’s learn how to make a web site” type of thing.

It’s kind of weird to think that this really started as a kind of “let’s learn how to make a web site” type of thing. And the money hasn't stopped rolling in since, right? 
Thanks for keeping it going all this time, I know it is a lot of work and we all appreciate the effort very much

The money, the women, it’s madness.

Hard to believe we have outlived so many other sites.

The money, the women, it’s madness. I can feel your pain... The Hollywood kind of lifestyle - with big limousines, endless invitations for dates with some gorgeous ladies, late night dinners and all that jazz....  |

Sincerest congratulations! That’s big! I discovered the site in 2001 when I was at my mom’s workplace on a summer day, bored at a computer. I had been a fan of metal for a little while, maybe one or two years. Back then I was a fan of anything that was heavy, including metalcore and other stuff that I tend to refrain from now. This site really helped shape my interests in providing me some of the very best coverage of Metal. I’m super grateful for that.
It’s funny how during many phases of my metal fandom I would look at this site and not recognize half of the name names on here. Now I finally can say I have heard and can recognize quite a lot of what’s here. Yet, I still have many holes. I still consistently find out about great bands from reviews on here!

Man, back in 2001 I still used static HTML pages, if I'm not mistaken. Pretty sure I switched to a database backend in 2002 because the static pages were a nightmare in the making. I mostly read printed fanzines (as opposed to webzines) and still run into tons of bands I've never heard of. It's insane. |

Hard to believe we have outlived so many other sites. Yeah, all the ones I visited regularly are gone, except for a few that now cover more crap than actual metal, or their new layout is a pain (not implying that the layout here is great, but at least people don't have to jump through hoops to read stuff). |

Congrats and thank you for keeping this place alive. The Metal Crypt has been such an important place for me to discover new (and old) bands for quite some years now.
