metalmartyr.com should get a nomination

[...] Metal Hammer has graciously nominated us for “Best Reviews Award.” Please go to their web site and leave comments telling everyone how awesome we are, ’cause the panel that decides who [...]

Hell yeah metalsucks got a nomination! Been reading that site for probably about a year now and discovered so many great bands through it.

Metalsucks.net is one of the suckiest metal blogs out there right now. Not only are they funny, smart and lame, they hate disturbed just about as much as I do!
That’s how much they suck, and how much metalsucks! (My sad attempt at being witty.)

Best News Award
http://www.blabbermouth.net – Exhaustive news broken first!

metalsucks by far!

Metalsucks should win!! Their site is the only one I go to for news because I find they’re the most entertaining/reliable. Plus, they’re awesome because I won a contest on the site… so they get my vote!!

Metalsucks.net get my vote.

Metalsucks: irreverant, sarcastic, sardonic, vulgar. AWESOME!

Metal Inquisition got robbed!

No nominations for Thrash Hits

http://www.thrashhits.com

Ouch. We just must be really shit!

Ohhh Metalsucks… One of my daily reads.

“The Devon Townsend Award for Randomness”

Either you mean the Linkin Park stalker or its a typo.

DEVIN Townsend is the mad genious professer of metal randondomness ; )

Metalsucks > all other metal websites.

I’m here to support metalsuck’s nomination! They’ll review the unavoidable but also stuff that’s a bit more obscure. Metal is often sooooooo serious… their reviews are a breath of fresh air (yes, sarcasm can be refreshing, haha), AND useful, well documented, etc.

metalsucks is not just one of the best review sites, it is one of the best metal sites period.
true online metal community where message boards, oddly enough, have y’know…discussion.

Thanks, Tom! I should have been nominated for “Most Typos” award.

METALSUCKS
awesome reviews, frequent posts, loads of videos, good humour and a passionate hate for LIMP BIZKIT, why shouldn’t they win?

Metalsucks is quality, As a brit reading an american site i feel they always give balanced opinions and often champion UK bands.

Metalsucks.net , THE best metal site on this planet. Down to earth reviews by people who listen to metal the way you do.

metalsucks and metalinquisition. that is all.

prp best personal blog? are you fucking serious? its a fucking news site, the best out there no less, and you guys are retarded for not recognizing that.

Dude, no QUESTION! MetalSucks is heavier than an elephant standing on my nuts. And yeah, that’s a quote from a review of theirs!

So fuck everyone else in this contest, give all the awards to the MetalSucks crew! ALL THE AWARDS.

MetalSucks for the win!

Metalsucks.net writes the best reviews ever.

MetalSucks.net is awesome!!

I go there almost daily for everything metal.

Punktastic is great for news. So many exclusives! I hope it wins.

Punktastic definitely! Great recognition for a site that’s been around since 2000 and not a flash in the pan like some of the others!

heavymetal.about.com is an awesome site. chad rules!

PT Is definitely the best site for news & that.

punktastic is blates the best. better than all the rest.

I’ve used Punktastic.com for about 6 years (at least) and I still keep coming back for the latest music news – It’s a great website that runs for the right reasons and they deserve the Best News Award.

Punktastic is great!

Its Punk and its Fantastic and just a little bit Metal. Or it that mental? Still great news site!

Wow, this whole thing is going to be a popularity contest. Can you say high school?

GlamMetal.com, they update often have great interviews, CD Reviews and Concert Reviews.

punktastic all the way!!!

PT all the way <3

MetalUnderground definitely deserve their award. Sins Metal News is the most deserving in their category too, they’re usually good for a laugh which is a bonus.

Glam Metal is awesome. They cover all the cool artists & bands, not JUST Glam. Quality CD & show reviews. Top-notch writing & photos, and Tracey L. is a cutie.

Metal Underground rules! Glad it was nominated!

metalunderground.com for best portal!

I see that my favorite metal site, MetalUnderground.com, made the list of nominations although not for a feature I frequently use. I think their news layout is top notch.

Metalundeground is by far the best. Not only is there great reviews, great news but also a great community of metal heads that makes you feel right at home. And I can add that the website master, Death Bringer, dedicates a lot of time and love for this site. Thanks to metalundergournd

metalunderground.com mutha sucka’s

Metal Underground is the best place for anything and everything metal. They have the most current news, interviews, and reviews and have a great fan interaction with the discussion boards.

Hands down the best, I have been a loyal reader for years!

There is only one metal site on the net, as far as this lifelong metalhead is concerned…
And that is the mighty Metalunderground \m/

Metalsucks: can’t count the awesome bands they introduced me to anymore, and they still keep ‘em coming! hourly read!

METAL INJECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rob must get this award! With the help of 3d, Sid, and Noa (who I have an insane crush on) this web sight is ultimate metal dedication with a dash of comedy. I been a fan for about 2 years and i strongly believe the award belongs to METAL INJECTION!!!!!!!

metal injection should win every award! it is the only site i visit daily! give me my fix!!!!!

METAL INJECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MetalUnderground.com! Wouldn’t look anywhere else. Fantastic vibe and reader-friendly staff whom I consider friends.

Metalunderground for every category nonetheless!!!

\m/ MU \m/

Metalunderground.com !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/

That’s where it’s at! Nothing but the best in covering a wide variety of metal news and everything Metal you need to know.

The site is extremely well organized, easy to use, easy on the eyes and has great features for members. Whether you’re a member or not, the site is open to all. Staff and members from different parts of the world are part of the community.

For those of you who haven’t, I highly recommend you visit Metalunderground.com

I have been a proud member of metalunderground.com since December of 07. I cant think of a better site to get your news, and chat with awesome like minded metallers. The staff rock, and are not held down by lables! HAIL METALUNDERGROUND.COM! Deathbringer kicks ass!

C’mon SMNnews! AWESOME website! Killer forums, killer news!!

Metalunderground 0wns

Metalsucks is the best for quality news and analysis in the metal scene. The two guys behind it present themselves well to their readers, so there’s this bro-ish atmosphere when i read the articles, metalheads gotta stick together!

Metalinjection is good but for me it’s more like my ‘metal youtube’.

wha??? how could TuneLab Music not be mentioned at all????

http://www.tunelabmusic.com

They don’t cover a lot of metal, but they still cover it. And they cover anything rock better than any of those other sites.

Horrible.

smn. fuck you all

smnnews.com is the way to go!!!!!

METALUNDERGROUND.COM.

SMNnews.com, only because I sunk four years of my life into that fucking site and I get ripped on annually on April 1. <3

METAL INJECTION! .net

Do it!

The Apparatus: grindingtheapparatus.net

but since it’s not even nominated:

Metal Injection

Not only do they melt my brain into a skullbowl full of fleshmush, they blow my socks off right through my fucking brand new shoes! Visiting Metalinjection.net is like stumbling upon free teenage goldenhaired vagina.

metalsucks FTW.

smn was ok, but too many posts about no doubt and other garbage.

Nonelouder is funny as shit.

I hope metalunderground win. News, reviews, April Fools and a great staff with great attitudes.
C’mon MU.

My vote goes to Metalinjection.net.
Hands down the most awesomest site for anything and everything metal. Plus the host Rob is soooooooooo sexy.

SMN!! other sites blow, enough said

I have http://www.smnnews.com set as my home page and are defintily the best Metal news site around.

Metal Injection is by far the superior online outlet for metal news, interviews, video, whatever… keeps me coming back on a daily basis. Shit makes me giggle while I rage.

Seriously, if you really disagree… go die.

Anus.com

yeah.

Gotta give LOVE TO SMNNEWS!! For sure

http://www.SMNnews.com – the place to go!!

metalinjection.net takes the fuckin cake here. No other website covers metal like they do and they are DIY.

metalsucks.net is also my favorite

Obviously you haven’t heard, but the best metal review site BY FAR is http://WWW.METALREVIEW.COM

punktastic is the best site out of all of these!

Punktastic best for news yo!

punktastic for the win? allez les punks.

GO PUNKTASTIC!

Punktastic without a doubt, the only news site I regularly visit

Metalinjection for the win… they do a lot more than just embed videos. They create great podcasts, a new livecast, free giveaways, awesome interviews, great forum community, SNL style skits with great characters! and I can go on.

Just fucking awesome!

about.com/heavymetal is the best site for metal reviews and information on all things metal. i find the reviews by chad bower both insightful and informative. i don’t always agree with him but i do value his opioens. keep up the good work.

Punktastic! Amazing site

The winner of best news site clearly has to be Punktastic. It’s uncompromising, sarcastic, and OLD. Longevity counts for a lot – we like.

\m/Metal Underground\m/

Metal Injection – the only site I need!

I love MetalUnderground AND Metal Injection! I check both sites everyday, MU has the best and the most news while MI has the best videos and in-depth info on mainstream metal bands. I even have a Metal Injection shirt! They’re so fucking metal.
And Noa is a hottie.

My thanks to Metal Hammer for graciously nominating my site The Metal Minute (aka http://rayvanhornjr.blogspot.com). Countless hours of lost sleep in the name of independent metal journalism has reached more people on a worldwide level than I originally anticipated. Hails to all of you metal fans for keeping this scene alive. I’d have nothing to talk about without you.

RIP Metal Maniacs and all of my fellow staffers at the magazine, ditto for Adrian Bromley and Unrestrained. May my successor as the host of “Death From Below” at AMP rock that joint properly.

Online praise to those Metal Sucks guys and my crew at About.com Heavy Metal and the home wreckage crew of None Louder. Of course everyone nominated here deserves a hand for keeping metal journalism flowing. None of it is as easy as some may think.

God save Metal Hammer, longtime one of the bibles of the scene. \m/

Metal Underground \m/\m/

SMNNEWS.COM \M/

METALSUCKS.NET
METALINJECTION.Net

The Two best on that board

so fuck the rest of them…

And fuck Punktastic…punk died in ‘82

Thanks Metal Hammer for nominating All Metal Resource for best reviews site! This is quite the honor, and for us to go up against two quality sites is just as much of an honor. Win or lose, it’s still very much appreciated.

GLAM METAL!!
Check out the Zakk Wylde & Slash interviews

Punktastic, clearly the best for news!

Here’s my picks.

Best News Award: snmnews.com

Best Reviews Award: metalsucks.net

Best Multimedia Metal Portal: metalunderground.com

Defender Of The (Online) Faith Award: metalrage.com

The Devin Townsend Award for Randomness: metal-rules.com

Best Personal Blog: rayvanhornjr.blogspot.com

Anything but snmnnews.They claim their “pure metal news”, but they’re anything but pure. Avoid.

Metalsucks.net is one of the best metal sites around, generally speaking, not just for reviews!

Metal Underground is one of the top webzines out there, bar none. ESPECIALLY for multimedia! They should be in this category, as well as Best News.

my vote is for metalunderground!

DEFINATLY metal injection! they’re my source for metal news, always. i’ve gotten so many tips, and laughed so hard at their great and funny interviews with bands like the red chord. they’re awesome. they truly deserve this award!

two words: DO IT

Much love to all the sites that made the list, but gotta go with SMNNEWS.com. Its the place I roll for the best info and reviews.

Metalunderground is the best site for metal news because the writers aren’t biased and the commenters aren’t retards like on blabbermouth!

And Metal Sucks is hilarious. ’nuff said.

Metal Hammer, you’re off a little bit.

It should be:

BEST ONE-MAN SHOP, WHERE HE COPIES/PASTES NEWS THAT’S EMAILED TO HIM INTO A FUCKING BLOG
————————————————————–
1. Blabbermouth.net
2. SMNNews
3. Etc.
4. Etc.

Best review site MetalSucks? Are any of the guys from God Forbid on the voting committee here?

No mention of Metal Review, Teeth Of The Divine or Chronicles of Chaos?

If that isn’t a major shot at the validity of this award/contest, I don’t know what is.

I’m totally voting for Metal Injection. They have-a the spicy-a meat-a-balls!

metal underground is THE best metal news station. i go to it first thing everyday to see the new info. they have a great comment system and you get to know the online personalities in the message boards. their reviews are for the most part dead on and it is frequently updated. they have the latest touring info and they set it up in a nice fashion. go there if you havnt before, http://www.metalunderground.com

What do you think of NoneLouder, that newer blog site?

Metal Underground guys! Discussion boards are open and frank, with considered views. Really funny to see one eyed ‘fans’ shot down in flames when they try to defend the indefensible.
If they don’t get, you ain’t read it!

Nonelouder.com is my homepage.

Metal Underground for the most educated discussions the genre has ever seen.

heavymetal.about.com is fantastic. My vote, all the way.

METALUNDERGROUND.COM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! METALUNDERGROUND.COM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

punktastic ftw!

Punktastic for sure.

Punktastic, definitely. Their news covers a good variety of genres and the forum users help to keep small UK bands in peoples radar. Woop!

Punktastic, obvious winner.

Support the Glam!

Glammetal.com!
Glammetal.com!
Glammetal.com!

punktastic should win. its got me into loads of hxc bands and reintroduced me to pop-punk.

FTW!!!!

Pleasant to see Devin Townsend appreciated enough to have an award for randomness named after him.
