The Corroseum's main goal and calling is to present unique and interesting trivia about The Forgotten Metal Of Olde and present it in a fairly coherent and user-friendly manner, free from cookie pop-ups, SEO word-salad, adds and other blinky 3rd-party garbage. This ambition has taken many different forms through the years and resulted in a vast array of projects and subsections, including:
Since the adoption of the old
metalpage.de review-archive, this is now by far the largest part of The Corroseum website: 2000+ reviews of olde & obscüre Metal records, all neatly sorted and searchable!

One of our most ambitious projects is the Metal "Compilopedia", where we aim to document every Various Artists-release from the late 70's to the early 90's featuring at least one
exclusive true Metal recording.
Here we present complete quality scans of 80's Heavy Metal fanzines, fully readable online and searchable(!). We're ALWAYS looking for contributors, so please get in
contact if you have artifacts of this sort in your collection + the will to help preserve our sacred history!
