We also have the privilege of working with fantastic promo people all over the place-PR companies and labels alike-who make this all possible.
Again, our writers make the sheer volume of content we produce possible and they deserve respect for working hard, learning on the job, and for constantly trying to improve their own work and the website. Then, of course, there’s a stable of writers-long-time and new-who continue to show up and deliver high-quality reviews, interviews, and to come up with great ideas.
These people volunteer significant chunks of their lives to make this website happen and they do it remarkably well. This well-honed machine takes seriously the daily calling of making the best metal website-blog or magazine-on the Internets. In this process, it is particularly important that we recognize the gargantuan job that Steel Druhm, Madam X, Sentynel, and the good doctors Wvrm and A.N. We take pride in the quality of our writing, the consistency of our scoring, and our Angry Metal Standards™.
From the moment we get an album in our inbox to the day it gets published, there are a half dozen people involved. Every review that gets published-and we produced 982 posts (779,386 words) in 2019 of which the vast majority were reviews-takes dozens of hours. As we move into our ten(ish)th year, I’m pleased to say that I am not alone in this and thank Dio for that. Yet, we’ve also continued to expand with things like weekly playlists and primers, an excellent new interview series on mental health, and the ideas just keep coming. We continue to be extremely productive, having brought on a bunch of new writers, 2 and we continue to be the very best place for long form reviews on the Internet. We now average 1 million+ page views a month. Or, as the kids say in 2019: IT ME! 1 But fortunately for me, despite my desperate, fundamental failures as a functional, competent adult human being, has reached new heights of prominence and readership in 2019. In the introduction to the most recently released book, his self-portrait is wearing sweatpants, has unkempt hair and looks about ready to fall over. As the comic became a true phenomenon a decade ago and its author Rich Burlew became increasingly in demand, he began drawing himself looking more disheveled with every self-portrait. I’m a big fan of the D&D-themed webcomic Order of the Stick.
