What is a Metalgasm?
A Metalgasm is when you lose control, it's when you are listening to music and you can't hang on because the music just sweeps you away. Maybe you are screaming YES YES YES!
Or maybe you are just feeling the groove and can't stop banging your head. Either way you know that it can't get much better than this and you just want to share it with the world.
You know how it feels when you get that 'fuzzy face' feeling? The blood leaves your face and your arms start to tingle, all because of that music. That's a Metalgasm.
Why should I submit my Metalgasms?
The obvious reason is that when you feel that good you just want to shout it out, you want people to know how you feel, you want to express that burst of passion, and this is your outlet!
You can comment about whatever you are feeling during that part of the song, or just comment on the whole song in general if it moves you so.
Another reason to submit your Metalgasms is that it will help build a database of amazing metal songs categorized by the different sub-genres of metal. As the database grows you can start
to discover bands you've never heard of, bands that fit in the genres you enjoy most, and best of all you will know where to start looking for the most metalgasmic songs by those bands.
How will this help me?
How many times has a friend told you about an amazing band they know you'd like, but you can just never get around to listening to them, and when you do you try out all the wrong songs only to
finally discover much later that they are your new favourite band? You say to yourself "fuck, I could have been listening to these guys for months or years! I even just missed their concert because I
didn't know I would like them so much". Metalgasm.com is made to help you get around this problem. You can look up any band and find their most Metalgasmic songs, and also know where to look in that song for the intense parts.
I don't know shit about the sub-genres of metal, I just love to ROCK!
That's ok if you don't know, you can leave the genre field blank, and if the band has been entered into our database before, it will autopopulate the genres for you!
We at Metalgasm.com think that it's important to at least have a general idea of what kinds of metal you like so you can better understand what else is out there that you might also enjoy.
As you use this site and start to find other bands you like, you can start to see what genres they are in and get a better feel for how to define a sound.
Knowing a thing or two about sub-genres of metal isn't a bad idea when you want to talk with other metalheads as well! It helps you understand the style and elements that they enjoy,
as well it helps them better understand what makes you bang your head.
We also love to ROCK!
I'm always Rockin' on the go, Is there a mobile site?
Just as your luck would have it, I've just released a mobile site! I understand that we aren't all rocking out at our computers, so I'm going to be working on many different ways that you can
submit your Metalgasms no matter where you are.
To get to our mobile site, go to any of the following addresses:
What's the deal with that Gravatar thing, how do I get a profile pic?!
At this point I'm trying to avoid hosting any images on the site to save on bandwidth and the shit that comes with hosting lots of files. I've found a lot of new sites are tending
towards Gravatar, as well they partnered with Wordpress, one of the largest blog systems in the world.
To get your avatar, it's really simple, you just sign up at Gravatar and upload or link to an image, and bam you are done, you never have to deal with it again, and going forward whenever
you sign up on a site that uses it, it will just pull the image you setup for your email address! You'll just have to watch out for which email address you sign up with and if it's setup
with Gravatar yet. If you really can't stand this, let me know, put some feedback at GetSatisfaction, the link on the right side of the screen, It'll get to me! \m/
