Note!

As of today, May 3rd 2009, Northern Metal Webzine is closed. Hence, no more updates until complete shutdown of site in early January 2010. There are many reasons for this closure, and I will list couple of them here:

-Since the start in Feb 2007 this zine has solery been run and updated by me KingOvFrost, who also wrote under the GrimWinter pseudonym. Apart from a couple of interviews by Reaper and 1 review by IceWarrior, all other updates have been added by me. In the end it has been extremely difficult keeping up with the extensive workload. Basically way too much work for one guy to handle, especially when I also have a full time day to day job which is not connected to Northern Metal. One another aspect is that I dug up 99% of the news articles on my own. Keeping a site updated on a regular basis when no-one submits any news to you is incredibly time-consuming, and in the end I got sick of the pressure of always having an updated web-zine.

-Initially I knew it would be time-consuming running a webzine on my own, but I expected that Northern Metal would attract many talented writers, due to it effectively combining articles with a band database. I also believed with he introduction of a User Control Panel system, where visitors could sign up and edit/add news bands on their own would help me keeping the band database up to date. Sadly, no-one ever signed up...

-I am not bitter, angry or fed-up. I just feel disappointed/depressed that I didn't succeed in creating a very popular webzine. I will never start up a new webzine on my own again, but I might return one day and write reviews for other magazines. Time will tell. I still have a huge desire to support underground bands.

Northernmetal.info domain expires January 9th, 2010. From that day on this site will be removed. Any of you is encouraged to take over Northernmetal.info from 2010, but the software will stay in my possession as I have invested about 1200 EURO (1500$) out of my own pocket.
Cheers! Thanks for all the fun and never give up on HEAVY METAL!

Update May 14th 2009: I have joined the ranks of Norway's biggest and most popular webzine Heavymetal.no. If you already had sent me albums to reviews, then they will get a review on Norwegian on Heavymetal.no.

-KingOvFrost/GrimWinter/Roger. May 2009.
