Metal Storm MP3 sampler
The main idea was to provide much needed promotion for bands, as well as keep our users happy with free music. This feature is for bands, both already accomplished and just starting, that are seeking promotion and feedback. This is for metal fans, always in search for new music. If you don't mind sharing your song with our eager listeners - you can upload it here, it's really easy! The new system allows songs to be rated and commented, providing you with feedback.
Any suggestions on changes or additional features are very welcome. The section will officially open after we have at least five submitted songs.
Thank you, enjoy!

@Chris Amber: agree with you it should have it's own...but it will when it's officially opened (at least that's what I read somewhere)

I'm one of the laziest people in the world and I have no problem clicking Home & then changing "home" in the URL to "mp3" (or use rightclick-CopyShortcut if you can't wait for another page to load). I'm thinking a direct link will appear when the "download song" feature returns - at least I hope it will... (?)

Written by Syk on 24.11.2007 at 13:27 It won't, unfortunately. Shitty local copyright laws make it too expensive for us (we would have to pay 6 EUR per every 100 downloads). We'll have to pay for streaming too, but considerably less. Having permissions from bands/labels doesn't change anything. So we're still sorting things out, and now that we've moved to the new server, MP3 sampler would definitely be more prominent.

Ohhhh fuck, that stuff pisses me right off... (the copyright bs, not your/the site's view of "too expensive" with which I totally agree) Can I ask just generally who are you paying, the labels/bands themselves or a wider record industry group? Would it still be possible to offer, for download, songs that come from albums freely available from the artist's site, such as the Disciples of Zoldon track?

You have to pay even though you have permission from the record label/band? That's just stupid but I guess you think so to.

Written by Syk on 24.11.2007 at 13:41 It's some sort of a local copyright Association (like RIAA, but slightly less annoying). Album being freely available doesn't change the situation. Artists and labels don't need our pennies, they need promotion - and are happy to give us songs for free, but that doesn't change anything either. I also have doubts that all collected money will end up in artists hands, which also seems quite unfair...

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 10.01.2008 at 18:36 Dude, I said ALMOST only progresiive metal...Sure, there are some not-progressive bands but the most of them are. It's so sad for me - black metal fan...That it's hard to create such thing to satisfy all users...

Written by W-Lash on 10.01.2008 at 19:28 I agree with you that it is too one-sided at the moment. But we'll wait and see how it develops.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 10.01.2008 at 19:31 Yeah, obviously there are only some bands there and it's impossible for all genre fans to find something from them... but the engine is made and let's hope that someday we will find lots of black, death (or whatever you need) metal.

I found Bereavements myspace and asked them if I could get the tab for "Eye Of The Storm", the drummer told me that he would ask and get back to me as soon as possible, I found him online next time and was waiting, then he went offline. Then the next time I saw him online I asked if it was working out and he just read but didn't reply....assholes...

Nervel said that sampler is closed due to copyright problems. I really don't understand where is the problem. This sampler should be for not very well known bands to gain popularity but listeners would have the benefit to get music for free. Let's see an example - Cor Scorpii (a band). http://corscorpii.net/releases.html - you see that Attergangar demo all songs can be downloaded for free...If they are there for free, why they can't be added here? It makes advantage for both sides. If it isn't legal to put their mp3 in sampler without permission then probably this problem could be solved by sending an e-mail with description of sampler. Probably nobody will reject such offer (a great free advertisement - their mp3 in such site).

Written by W-Lash on 17.01.2008 at 14:31As Ivan has already explained somewhere, it's the local record industry/audio copyright organization being a bitch, not the band or its label. An equivalent of the RIAA is demanding outrageous fees even when the band has given permission to the site, and even when the band in question is independent & would not be affected in any negative (or even positive) way. In the meantime, keep indirectly linking to up-and-coming bands and boycotting major label business to say "FUCK YOU" to those greedy corporate bastards.

Written by W-Lash on 17.01.2008 at 14:31 If you were to be exact, that band would have to pay fees as well for every song the users download from their site. It's pretty twisted and fucked up, but that's how it looks like. The sampler is not dead yet though, it's just on hold until we've settled some more copyright-related stuff - hopefully we'll be able to make use of the full potential of the sampler, but we cannot promise anything.
