Hi all ,

This is M@X, your dedicated webmaster and admin Embarrassed

I am very excited to share this important news with you.

Based on the success of PA and the fact that I needed to set direction for my professional career, I have decided to play it big with PA and make this music site part of my professional and personal life.

That decision motivated me a couple of months ago, to create more sites like PA and manage them. The plan is to create and manage sites like PA in the following music styles: Prog, Metal, Jazz, Classical and I have in mind to extend my projects to online community about books, TV shows, movies.

So, working with Graphix (PA Admin and close friend), we mixed our ideas and he put in place a new music site very similar in features to Progarchives.com but entirely new technologically. And this new site platform will be the future PA's - that is the plan. So the first site in the new family to go online is www.MetalMusicArchives.com , a PA-like site about METAL music. It's been online since 3 weeks only.

Since PA is covering 3 big sub-genres of METAL, I though that some PA members might be interested in it. We are looking to get active members and collaborators "à la Progarchives.com" to help us managing the community and content. The content (discography) is currently set to update by itself with MusicBrainz.org (thanks to Phil for programming this stuff !!) So basically the admins/collabs at MetalMusicArchives.com would need to work mostly on: new bands, DVDs and bands classifications, forums animation/moderation, reviews/shouts moderation and global quality of the site, working closely with Graphix and me.

So if you are interested in Metal music, check it out, or better, participate and collaborate to help us take the same lead in METAL music as PA did with PROG music: #1.

We also offers multiple ways to stay connected with the site updates:

  • RSS
  • twitter
  • facebook

Cool news, their is also a "Monthly Gift Giveaway" running Clap

Again the URL is http://www.metalmusicarchives.com

Prog On !

M@X

Wow, this is amazing. Can't wait for Jazz and Classical Archives, too! Maybe a Folklore/Ethnic music Archive would be a good idea, too Star

Congratulations and Good Luck!

Yeah me too.

I like the new site(I've already joined), especially the dark forum skin, easier on the eyes. Embarrassed

Exactly as Alex put it.  I'm not a giant fan of metal, but I'm excited for the Jazz and Classical.  Clap

And if I may add my own suggestion, a Contemporary/Concrete/Actuelle Music one would be great too.

Great thing, all of them. I thought about seeing PA in other forms. Definitely will register. May I copy my Metal reviews from here to MMA ?

Ibidem, M@x... great news... ClapClapClap same question... can it be the same reviews for both sites or we have to make different for each site?

Thanks all for the kind words.

And yes Marty, you can post all your reviews and I invite others to do the same also. The more reviews you guys post (or shouts, ratings, other collaboration) will increase your chance of winning in the MMA monthly giveaway ! Good luck to all.

Enjoy MMA ( metal music archives ) , not the MARTIAL ARTS ;-)

Joke: Let's make Martial Arts Archives then

Consideration: This can also bring attention to site, as it will boost google tools (search ones)

Kind words: OK Max, I'll consider it. For now, I have unfinished work here (adding Czech bands). After I'll finish it, I can join here too. But I know that more people will do it for me while I'm out. After all, there is more Metal Heads than one may think :-) This page will please many people.

Sounds like a cool idea.  I'll be interested in this and the jazz site as well.  I'm always looking for more resources to expand my music tastes and library, and if they are as helpful as PA have been, I'll thoroughly enjoy these new sites.

I've been listening to metal music much since I was 12 or 13, so I'll certainly consider joining that community as well as sticking around here.

Now off to look at the site! Smile
