Although I've been touting this across the forum for the last few months, I haven't actually announced it here, where it's most important.
So now I am.
Following on from the success (who laughed? I'm not going on till whoever laughed stands up!) of last year's month of Heavy Metal madness, I've decided not only to repeat it this year, but that it will be an annual event in this journal. So as before, October 1 will mark the beginning of
which will continue through to the end of October 31.
Last year, the event was somewhat a case of me flying by the seat of my pants, making it up as I went along and with no real goal in mind. This year I intend to have a much more structured and ordered show. What's that you say? Order and structure are anathema to Heavy Metal? Well yes, but that's all well and good till you try running one of these things! People don't just want to see album review after album review, you know.
So Metal Month II will include a Featured Artiste slot, music from various countries, reviews of new albums released this year, as well as returns for "The Metal that made Me" and of course four more helpings from "The Meat Grinder", as well as your own top ten lists and a whole lot more.
Anyone who wishes to is welcome to participate, whether you would like to guest review an album or band, or just write about how Metal has affected your life, or indeed anything Metal-related you think you could add. Just PM me or post here

So, fourteen days remaining to the second Metal Month. Warn the neighbours and secure the pets, cos it's gonna be
loud!
