-- EDITOR'S NOTE --
Metalheads:
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that after six years and
approximately 300 weekly updates, I am stepping down from handling the
daily operations of the Metal Update. Please continue to send news and
information to editor@metalupdate.com. Personal email intended for me can
be sent to wbrant@comcast.net. The Metal Update may go dark for a few
weeks while we get our house in order - please stand by. I thank you for supporting my efforts, as I commend you for yours. The Great Metal War is fought in a series of skirmishes, and you are on the frontlines. See you in the trenches!
- Brant
