This website contains stuff about the most important NWOBHM bands from
the eighties (ANGELWITCH, BITCHES SIN, JAGUAR, WITCHFYNDE, RAVEN, MYTHRA, SATAN, TYGERS OF PAN TANG, BLITZKRIEG, SACRILEGE, SWEET SAVAGE, SAMSON, ELIXIR, DESOLATION ANGELS, etc.), my fave US Metal bands (HALLOWEEN, JAG PANZER, MILITIA, CULPRIT, CIRITH UNGOL, S.A. SLAYER, RIPPER, WARLORD, etc.) and the European and Japanese metal scene.

Also you will find some interviews, that I did over the years, plus a lot of other interesting metal stuff.

I would like to dedicate this website to my all-time guitar hero Randy Rhoads (R.I.P and THANK YOU you for being such an inspiration!!)
and all the Gods of Metal and Hard Rock (JUDAS PRIEST, MOTORHEAD, OZZY OSBOURNE, SAXON, IRON MAIDEN, DIO, THIN LIZZY and the list goes on and on......)

TRUE METAL WILL NEVER DIE !

Cheers you lot,

Toine "Randy" van Poorten.
