Extreme Metal Gateway Songs
In late 2015, Old Skul wrote an interesting piece about metal gateway songs.

Of course I thought about my own gateways into the metal scene and even considered writing […]

Why Being In A Band SUCKS!
Stevie-T has struck once again. This time around, he has accurately recreated the precise reasons why being in a band sucks.
