BELIEVERS IN THE POWER OF HEAVY METAL

So there’s a new metal website gracing the Interwebs this week. It’s called Believers in the Power of Heavy Metal (or BITPOM for short) and is owned and run by The Syndicate, who manage Shadows Fall, Protest the Hero and others. BITPOM — other than the name’s striking resemblance to a certain refreshing fruit drink — is in its early stages kind of a cross between MetalSucks and NoneLouder; intelligent metal commentary and discussion with an integrated social network built on the Ning platform.

What do you think of the new site?

They’ve asked me to do a guest column called “Ask the Blogger,” in which users submit questions to me about anything, and I answer ’em. So if you’ve ever wanted to ask me anything, now’s your chance! Visit BITPOM and comment under my column.
