I found this article pretty interesting. Morrigan has been a mysterious controversial character for a long time....

That is interesting and explains the self proclaimed elitist view points of the MOD's over there.

LOL that's not an article, that's a hit piece. It may be true but it's basically a guy ranting.

No idea about who Morrigan or whoever is, but that piece was stupid.

But Metal Archives is also stupid for not including glam & nu-metal, because "they" (I'm assuming this Morrigan person?) don't like it.

Morrigan is the owner of the site. I wouldn't be surprised if the author of this hit piece is some "Kvlt kiddie" who doxxed Morrigan because something didn't go his way.

I've read that article 3 times now and I still can't make heads or tails of it or why I should care. But I can say that for most of what gets posted as news these days. Carry on, I guess.

This.

It's a great site but smacks too much of the whole " tr00 " crowd. There are so many subgenres missing and it's obviously intentional.

Dude, I swear I had the exact same reaction. "What's a Morrigan? Who gives a shit?" Laughing very hard

The only thing I use Metal Archives for is looking up discography info, I've never been on the forum. Therefore I got no skin in this game (shrugs).

It must be an age thing. I read it and besides being annoyed by the horrible grammar, just couldn't find myself very interested in what was being said.

If it was, it started early. The blog post he linked to is from December.

Isn't a "Morrigan" when you get to do your shot over in golf?

Their April Fool gag this year was to announce that they were splitting into two sites, "Good Metal Archives" and "Bad Metal Archives."

...predictably, Facebook metal groups were full of angry posts about it from numb nuts who didn't get the joke. Laughing very hard

I have never been to the site, nor did I read the article, but is it "his" music collection? or simply a review site?

It's meant to be an "encyclopedia" site/database for metal. It's collaborative (user-driven) like Wikipedia. Members can add bands/releases, edit band member/discography info, post album reviews, etc.

I've never been on their forums, but I tried posting a couple of album reviews there a few years back, and they rejected 'em all, so I said (ala Cartman from South Park) "Fine, screw you guys. I'm goin' home." I've only used the site for looking up discography info since then.

Dude their reviews are seriously the worst. paragraphs and paragraphs of eye-rolling hyperbole and elitist snobbery. I don't think I've ever completely read a review there all the way through. Your stuff would've made the site a much happier place to visit haha.

Oh yea, their reviews are brutal to get through. It's pretty decent for band discography info, but other than that, I avoid them.

Dont they have a policy where they ban track-by-track album reviews, even though that's the main format other review sites use?
