ACTUAL NEWS
Dear Metal fans, sorry for all the delays with expanding this page! I am only one person, and in the last years there came problem after problems, so work on this page stopped since 2006. I moved in 2007 and I had to work in 2 jobs to survive, which let me no time for this project. Now in 2009 I split up with my wife and had to move again. Moving with all my business stock and collection is always a immense work and cost a lot. Now I have to re start all again, continue with my 2 jobs, ....and I have no idea if I can EVER continue with this page! In the meantime myspace and metal-archive became soo big and have so much information, I am not sure if it makes sense anyway to continue this!? For now see it as an history section of the Metal scene in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico from 1980 - 2006!! May be I can continue one day, especially when I find a woman who has the same interess and can join me with my distribution ....and working on this page! A Latin Metalera who want to move to Germany and speaks also English would be perfect,....but in life nothing runs always perfect! That is why this page sleeps now and is like a small encyclopedia of a certain history time in Latin American Metal, and a support page for my Metal distribution and label.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was the first web site that wrote about True Metal from the Latin American continent, which was almost unknown outside of this area. Even in the different Latin countries they do not know much about the scene in the neighbour countries! I managed only to cover the 3 biggest countries, and a short overview about Chile and Uruguay, till I had to stop the work in 2006.
I started to write about Metal in Argentina, Mexico and Brazil after myfirst trips into this countries in the middle of the 90s in the fantastic German fanzine "Thats Metal", and as soon as the internet was available I started with this page in 1999. This was the first and only page for many years to write about Metal in this continent. I will try in the next future to cover some of the most important new bands and actualize the discographies of the bands which are already included here. But more will not be possible in the next time.
If you want more actual informations about here included bands, and the rest of the continent, have a look at: http://www.metal-archives.com
This page here covers only Hard Rock, Pure Metal, Thrash and Death Thrash. Friends of Black, Death, Grind, Hardcore and other stuff will have to create their own page
Big thanks to my webmaster Matthias for constructing the frames for this page, and thanks to all the other people who helped me with some material. Thanks also to the translators, like the wonderful Eugenia (where are you now girl?), Erico la bestia, Elaine and others!
If anybody wants to reprint and use part of this page, please ask for permission!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the beginning of this page, there was a request for material from Latin America! So I started my own little distribution! If you are interested, please look in my shop section, which has now sure the widest selection of new Latin American releases in the world! I did not start this page to support my business, but it grew slowly into it! First came the page to remember and support the forgotten bands, and then came the request and the first small start to sell material from there! And now you have a wide selection from all parts of Latin America offered! But now also some jelous guys come and talk bullshit about it (see my guestbook, and my answer in the shop section).

The Spanish translations are now almost complete, as the wondeful Eugenia from Argentina helped me very much! There helped also some fans with Portuguese translations of the Brazil page (which I first never planned), and especially the incredible Elaine helped me a lot!!
