“How I’ve waited for you to come. I’ve been here all alone… Now that you’ve arrived… Please stay a while… and I promise, I wont keep you long… I’ll keep you forever…”

Hello there. My name is Justin Dettle. Welcome to my hole in the wall… In the corner of the internet’s basement, behind all of the other crap that most people never wanna hear about. I dunno how you found it. If you immediately identified the lyrics above, you’re probably going to like it here.

Here I aim to share knowledge, news and in-depth thoughts & information about a variety of the Extreme Metal music genres. I’ll be posting interviews, tour information, updates about different musician’s recording plans/statuses, releases and reviews, and plenty more. I’m both a long-time fan and an active musician… practicing, playing and obsessing over this music daily. I’m not going to promise a completely unbiased report on all things metal. I will however celebrate the virtuous side of these genres… and give you all an approachable, musically-educated outlook on the purposeful excess that makes our styles what they are.
