Thanks all for your kind words, 

MMA goal is to be a more "community" oriented metal website, much different than EM. In the end, we might fight for the #1 metal site on the internet Wink

Will MMA cover early hard rock and metal (late 60s / early 70s) bands like Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly, Uriah Heep, Cream etc?

Yes, we have a subgenre, TRADITIONNAL HEAVY METAL that cover the initial movement. Feel free to suggest some bands in the MMA forum.

Welcome to MMA, PA members !!

Congratulations on the site.

Will this website have ratings and best of lists like on ProgArchives? This is my favorite feature of PA and I think that it would be excellent to differentiate this site from other similar metal websites.

I agree totally like this...   in fact...  perhaps I've just looked at the front page of PA's for far too long... but have come to love the layout.   The front page of MMA just looks messy to me...  perhaps that is just because it is different.   As I've posted there...  I'd like to see that site learn from the mistakes of this site... but also keep the best parts... and that front page of PA's with the way it is laid out.. and the way bands and genres are presented should be adopted by MMA.

my two cents of course...  hopefully not pissing on someone's unique design LOL

I'm kind of with this as well. I love the forum layout of both MMA and PA, but I tend to like the front page of PA much better. There's nothing wrong with the layout of MMA, but I miss the search box, and the sleek and linear design of the PA front page.

Still, great job M@X! I really love MMA!Smile

Interesting Jeff.  My initial reaction to the new site home page was very positive.  I really like the simple layout and lack of harsh color.  It is instantly easy on the eyes and inviting, at least to me. 

Not sure I'll join though, but only because i have enough to do on the RPI team and this forum.....one more time commitment could sink me, or at least prevent me from ever seeing the sunshine and blue sky! LOL

But sincerely Max, it looks great, and I wish you huge success!

I think itīs a matter of time before some of the features on the frontpage of PA is implemented on MMA. I know others have mentioned the lack of the search function and M@X said that it would come.

Yup see you there guys. They're listed under Doom Metal, fair enough.
Looking forward to this. Nice bio on the band too,someone's been busy with this site.
Good work M@X Clap

First, I was slightly skeptical, having in mind the Encyclopaedia Metalium or BNR (without counting the French website Spirit of Metal!). But, from what I saw, MMA is more complete than BNR and less ''intransigent" than EM.
Maybe I will register in a close future.

Congrats M@X, while metal isn't my first love my wife went googly over the fact that there's a hair glam metal genre.

Good luck with the new site and the career move.  I think you run a fantastic site here and can see an easy transition to other genres.  Good luck.

I've been meaning to add a congrats or two on the new site.  I don't know metal all that well (save a few of those founders who have found their way to PA), but I'll check it out.  I do love me some bands that make a righteous noise. 
 
Now we can argue whether or not AC/DC is actually metal LOL

Can you tell me where we're headin'?

Awesome site. I really can't wait for the Jazz one. I'll be pretty active there.

I vote that you make an Electronic site sometime in the future. I'd be willing to help out alot on that one.
