Agalloch/Opeth Damnation/Enslaved weekend

Sounds like an odd mix of stuff, but I got CDs of many of these in the week to add to my collection. Got an album by Agalloch called The Mantle, they are a folk metal/black metal group from my hometown of Portland, OR and The Mantle was highly praised in 2002. Also got more stuff from Enslaved which are one of my absolute favorite black metal groups. Black Metal gets a lot of bad rap from people who are outside of what the genre is all about, for many reasons I do understand. But even when it was at its most controversial in the early to mid '90s, it was still no less artistic and musicianship driven. But many of the original trendsetters of the '90s have either disappeared or changed styles altogether, it's groups like Enslaved that have evolved Black Metal into new territory never dreamed possible and many people outside of Extreme Metal's impossible to crack lack of accessibility have taken notice and began to praise. So tune in as these albums are explored this weekend.

Thank You to my Listenership

Just today starting in the late afternoon on November 22nd until close to 2 a.m. Metal Forge Radio had a listener for over 8 hours!!! Thank you whoever you are (my server monitor does not say who it is, just that a connection had been made). I also want to thank all those people who have listened for many minutes and many hours.

Upgrade in Internet

I first started Metal Forge Radio in August, and it was broadcasting on less than 1 MBps DSL, and every chance I got I went to friend's houses and connected to my radio station and as much as I can, see how it plays. So far it did ok. But downloading large files and such really put a strain on it. But recently found out we could get better internet than we had with the same company for about the same price, so we upgraded to 12 MBps. So Metal Forge Radio is much improved for both you the listener and me the proprietor, and I will do everything in my power to improve Metal Forge Radio to ensure the best quality Extreme Metal Streaming Radio experience.
