Former Editor/Creator Tom Trakas has launched a new on-line home for future writings, various Metal and personal musings, interviews and photos [both current and classic], archives, stories, trivia and senseless shit. 'None But My Own: A Fanatics Journey in Words and Pictures' debuts October 2008. None But My Own can be found here: http://deathstar330.blogspot.com/   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
