The Metal Spectrum

If ever hear anybody complaining that there's a real lack of heavy metal out there then you could probably assume that they don't have the motivation or the ingenuity to seek things out. There are literally thousands of bands out there with sample songs available on compilations and websites that would love to get 30 seconds to 10 minutes of your time just to listen to what they can do.

We're always coming across new and underground stuff, so for each column, we're gonna list songs and bands that you might want to check out and for any of you with file sharing/download programs (free or pay, we're not getting into the ethics involved), we're going to list some classic stuff to consider also.
