Welcome to www.doom-metal.com, *the* place on the net for information
and discussion about doom metal in all its forms. We bring you the
latest news from the doom world, reviews of new albums, obscure demos,
and classics, interviews, and a very active forum community.
The website has been in existence in different forms since the beginning
of the decade, and has seen many staff members and designs come and go.
Doom-metal.com first came into being as a merger of The Doom-metal
Netguide (previously maintained by Kurt de Meulemeester) and the
#Doom-metal homepage (previously maintained by Aldo Quispel). Aldo
Quispel and John Riendeau, helped by Curt and Kurt, set up the website
in its first incarnation. Aldo continued to be the main driving force
behind the website until early 2007.
After several longer periods of inactivity and internal reorganisation,
it was decided that doom-metal.com needed a major overhaul. Aldo
resigned as the manager and webmaster, and currently the site is
maintained under the leadership of Arnstein Pettersen, Oscar Strik, Oli
Tipper, and Georgia Weidenhof, all of whom have had at least several
years of experience as a staff member here. They continue to be
supported by an enthusiastic staff.
Along with the change in leadership, it was also time for a new design,
and you are looking at the results right now. Designed by Oli,
the latest incarnation of the website sports a full integration of the
features our visitors have become accustomed to: the bandlist, reviews,
news, tourdates, interviews, etc. In addition, the current staff strives
to bring back popular features from the past, such as the doom-metal.com
radio station.
We hope you will enjoy the new version of the website, and we welcome
you into the community.
