MetalSucks, MetalInjection and BITPOM, in conjunction with EMI Music’s Label Services unit (which serves such labels as Century Media, Nuclear Blast, Earache, Candlelight, Season of Mist, Willowtip and Crash Music), are bringing metal to the masses with an extensive “March is Metal Month” campaign with independent retailers across the U.S.

During the “March is Metal Month” campaign, we’ll be running a series of 3 weekly “Show Us Your Metal” contests. To enter, take a picture of yourself at a record store doing something metal; throwing up the horns, making sweet love to a David Lee Roth Crazy From the Heat EP, posing in front of a Beyonce endcap in corpsepaint, buying something that costs $6.66, etc. Be creative! Send all submissions to news AT metalsucks DOT net along with your full name and address by the deadlines listed below.

The prizes and deadlines are as follows:
Week 1, deadline March 12: Signed CDs and posters from In This Moment, courtesy Century Media (we know, we know… that’s what they offered.)
Week 2, deadline March 19: Cynic box set ($75 value) courtesy of Season of Mist
Week 3, deadline March 26: Signed CDs and posters from Necroptic and All Shall Perish, courtesy of Nuclear Blast.

Show us your metal!
