Site Status
News has been slowing down a bit lately. With the upcoming death of Listbot as a free service (bought by Mico$oft, what'd you expect?), I imagine it will get even more scarce since many mailing lists are run off of that service. Now more than ever, feel free to directly email metal news and site updates to news@metalunderground.com
Other free alternatives to Listbot worth checking out are: Yahoo
