...Instead, the old reviews of the now defunct Metalpage.de website has been incorporated into this part of the site, making it a 2000+ titles database of rare Steel! About 600 of those reviews were in turn adopted from the long dead and sadly missed Metal-Treasures site in 2004, which happened to be the first website I contributed reviews for ages ago. So, 'Full Circle', of sorts. The completion-work of this huge, decades old collective project now lives on here and it will continue to grow with the aim of documenting every last piece of Obscure Olde Heavy Metal vinyl worth a mention. This goal will never be reached, but the journey towards this unreachable peak will be an adventure in Metal-exploration I hope you'll all enjoy following..
Some notes on the Metalpage-part of the archive:
- With a handful of exceptions, only the 80's-to-90's reviews have been added here. If you want to explore the entire, unedited Metalpage-legacy, check out The Corroseum's Heavy Metal Wayback Machine.
- Many of these reviews were written in German. I've added an English-translation function to these pages, but the end result can be quite gibberish'y at times. For the moment I figure it's better than nothing and supposedly these translation-algorithms get better and better with time, so hopefully they'll be quite readable by abouts 2032(?)
- There's bound to be old errors & flaws aplenty; small/missing/ugly pics, outdated rarity-ratings, plain factual errors etc.. These are continously weeded out, but if you find something that you think need correcting asap, please contact me.
- Have you been contributing to the Metalpage in the past? If you have any ideas, comments or complaints about how your work has been preserved here, please contact The Corroseum admin. Should you not want your writings featured in this project anymore, I will of course comply and remove them.
(...though of course I hope I can convince you otherwise, like changing your name into an alias or whatnot. This review-archive and your contributions has been an invaluable source of information to Olde Metal collectors through the years and we hope it can remain so for generations to come!)
