First of all, Happy Newyear, wishing you all a healthy, blessed and prosperous 2015!
Thanks for your support over the past year, we really appreciate that. The past year has brought us loads of decent new releases, new bands and nice concerts/festivals. We expect that 2016 will be even better! The next year will be a very special one, the 10th anniversary of ‘The Metal Resource’. A new website will be launched very soon (it takes a little bit longer then expected). And very soon we will also come with other special news, so stay tuned for more information ?
