www.metalrage.com

• 's-Hertogenbosch, North Brabant, Netherlands

• Editor in Chief

  • 2001 - Dec 2015

  Metalrage.com was founded by former Roadrunner Records street team members in the Netherlands back in 2001. During its existence I created and maintained the site and stayed in touch with the volunteers of the website, many of which are still friends. When we started expanding rapidly, label relations were delegated to members within the group of volunteers. In the peak years the site reached over 500.000 unique visitors a month but full-time jobs caused the site te become less active over time. While the website is still in the air for archiving purposes, no new content has been posted for several years. Show less
