All together now...I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Heavy Metalists of America...
Without sounding too retarded, all of us at Maximum Metal have been hard music fans for years. We live and breathe heavy metal. It's in our blood and it's what we love.
Our main reasoning behind Maximum Metal is to be a comprehensive, one-stop metal news source for fellow metal fans such as ourselves. We also wanted to give personal reviews from different viewpoints, conduct interviews with indy and major metal stars and spotlight some of the lesser-known, great bands in the metal scene that we feel deserve to be recognized by the metal and mainstream community.
The first thing we wanted to do was create the ultimate news section where we could give daily updates on all the metal happenings throughout the world compiled from multiple sources. Instead of limiting ourselves to one style of metal, we cover news from labels, bands, musicians, events and every style of metal ranging from traditional to power to black to death to nu-metal. We want Maximum Metal to be the only place you need to go for the best metal news on the Net.
Along with the metal news and interviews, we'll be giving our honest opinions on new releases, demos and the occasional "classic" in our reviews section. Each review is done in a free-write format by multiple reviewers instead of by one person, so regular visitors can follow reviewers that match their own preferred styles.
If you get the urge, give us your thoughts on Maximum Metal, we want to offer something to the metal community that has given, and still gives, so much to us. This site will be constantly updated and modified. It will grow, expand and hopefully meet the maximum needs of all metal fans.

The best and more authentic LA Hard Rock album from France that ever has found the way into my player! A must for all fans of DOKKEN, DANGER DANGER , HURRICANE & Co! ROCK IT! / METAL HAMMER
The new album of BEYOND THE VOID titled "Gloom Is A Trip For Two" is available since yesterday, Feb 22nd, on Endzeit Elegies / Avasonic / Rough Trade, featuring Martin Motnik (EISBRECHER, DARKSEED) on bass guitar.
It's a Gothic Metal voyage through the temptations and abysses of the Night, from "Her Dive Into Midnight" to "A Minute Before Dawn". With the wont quality and a new heaviness and darkness, Beyond The Void are out to show that they now are a major player in the German Dark Rock Scene, out to ruin the world! They have already supported bands like Leaves Eyes, Lacrimas Profundere, Anathema, The Lovecrave, Xandria, To/Die/For, Untoten, Cruxshadows and L'ÂME IMMORTELLE!
