Media News, Metal Maniacs

news_metalmaniacs_logoWhile we reported that Metal Maniacs was relaunching as an online-only entity in September, they’ve gone online a day early. The site, taken over by the owner of digital metal distributor metalhit.com, doesn’t feature any of the original Maniacs writers, but it is a good read. There are interviews with James Malone from Arsis, Frank Watkins from Obituary and Gorgoroth, and Katon D. Pena from Hirax, as well as a free 24-track download featuring plenty of new music. There’s always room for one more metal blog, especially if it’s keeping the Metal Maniacs name alive.
