Welcome all the guys and girls over at
Metal Blade Records to club.kingsnake. We like all different genres of music here, including of course all flavors of metal, so Metal Blade's support of our web site is much appreciated. We approached a number of record companies and Metal Blade jumped in with both feet. We are glad to have you on board.
We will be working with Metal Blade to bring you lots of neat stuff like reviews of their shows (including Ozzfest) and their artists (like Cannibal Corpse) and podcast interviews with some of their artists. HOPEFULLY we can talk them into letting us give away some neat Metal Blade swag along the way.
For those of you not familiar with Metal Blade Records, their first release contained songs by some then-unknown bands called Metallica and Ratt, and the label has been the home of many of todays bigger metal acts, like Slayer and Gwar. Started by Brian Slagel in 1982 on a shoestring and a dream, Metal Blade has been an important influence in the careers of many bands.
A special shout goes out to Michelle at Metal Blade, who not only has a thing for metal, but is also a ball python owner (natch!) and was able to hook us up with press access, photo badges and more, making our job so much easier. You guys at Metal Blade should give her a raise, she talked us into giving her all our prime ad spots. ;)
