METAL MANIACS RELAUNCHES AS WEB-ONLY PUBLICATION
Monday, August 31st, 2009 at 12:00pm by Vince Neilstein
In July we reported that the shuttered Metal Maniacs magazine would soon to be relaunching as a web-only publication, and today we’re pleased to announce that the brand new MetalManiacs.com is now live.
Resurrected by the owner of Metalhit.com, the new Metal Maniacs features regularly updated content and features from the latest in underground metal. The site boasts an exhaustive Mp3 store featuring more than 13,000 songs available for preview and purchase as well as a new forum, monthly contests, a weekly “deadly discovery” showcasing up and coming bands and a monthly free digital music compilation. The debut launch features a 24 song compilation with free downloads from bands like Asphyx, Augury, Black Anvil, Daath, Hands, Impending Doom, Leaves’ Eyes, Merauder, Séance, Skeletonwitch, Suicide Silence, Vader and more!
Head on over to MetalManiacs.com and let us know what you think.

That is one kickass Free Music section, I’ll be paying this site a visit for the downloads if nothing else…MetalSucks will always be number one in my heart though! I fucking love you guys to death. Any life away from this web page is no life for me at all.
Fuck Impending Doom, “Gorship” my ass.
Fuck yes! Welcome back!
Sounds good. I was bummed when the mag went out.
I was just rummaging through it real quick, and damn, it’s got quite a bit to offer, even now that’s it’s just started. It’s got a pretty in depth mp3 store, and I was only expecting 4 or 5 free songs. 24!?! Shit. It’ll be my new 2nd favorite website, after that wonderful little place about the suckage of metal!
Looks good… I’ll be bookmarking that.

Niche mags should probably follow suit. At this point, there probably isn’t much money left in this area, unless your name is Decibel or Kerrang! or the like.
