MetalStorm.ee: A Social Website that's Heavy.

Metalstorm.ee is social website aimed at users who listen to music outside the realm of the mainstream. Originally founded with the goal of simply listing details about various heavy metal artists, the website recently jumped into social web territory and expanded its features. The website now boasts all of the usual social networking features, such as messaging and profiles, but also includes some features especially useful to the site's content. Users of Metalstorm.ee can rate bands and albums which results in certain albums being displayed in lists such as the Top Ten of 2007 list or the Top Metalstorm Album of all time list. The website also maintains a repository of news information about each band.


For those of you interested in Metal of any kind, or anyone interested in a social website aimed at a small niche of 10,000 users, it is well worth a visit. Now it is time for me to visit the forums and find out why Judas Priest's "Painkiller" is not higher than 47 on the all time greatest list...
