Tool on Lateralus

There's an article on CDNow in which Tool talks about going beyond the limits of popular music, in reference to their experience with their new album, Lateralus.

"Hopefully, we've gone into an area beyond the limitations of popular music," says bassist Justin Chancellor. "We want to create and translate our feelings, and it's easy to compromise them when you're still trying to please radio stations and MTV. That's not something we want to focus on, and that has allowed us to push the boundaries and create a slightly more surreal journey that's less traditional rock and roll and more soundscape-oriented."

Site Update

Site Progress Update

MetalUnderground.com is a little late in launching from my projections. However, I've just completed some major behind-the-scenes database rearranging and things should go smoothly from here.

I have a links index I'm working on populating from my own list before I open it up to become a free-for-all metal links database. That should be a really useful tool to the metal community as well as for helping MetalUnderground.com post news and manage reliable news sources.

Next up... Membership and Forums. And finishing the goddamn design and those missing graphics! Spread the word about metalunderground.com, and come back often - new is updated daily!
