Welcome to Metal Warfare, AKA Metal Ireland 2!

[boozegeune]

Well done on setting this up, glad to have some sort of forum and community space again. Never contributed to MI but I write regularly enough and would be happy to contribute reviews.

I'm so thankful to the guys who span this site up to fill the metalireland void! It's good to have a place like this again

If anyone's willing to pay my rent, I'll quit my job, move from limerick to Dublin and start doing a Random Chats Had by the Metallica Pinball Table in Fibbers on a Friday Night  weekly column for this site.

Time to delete this sticky thread methinks...

Interested to know, how did you come up with the name, I thought you might go with Metal Eire, as it's descriptive? Thanks.

I was mostly just trying to thing of a somewhat passable name. Didn't have too much time to put a lot of thought into it since I wanted to get the site up fairly quickly while there was still a bit of momentum after Metal Ireland shut down with no warning.

I was listening to Show No Mercy and the song "Chemical Warfare" came on.

Chemical Warfare --> Mental Warfare --> Metal Warfare

Metal Eire was an obvious choice which I had considered (along with the fairly shitty "metalireland2") but at the time I felt it would come across as too much of a direct MI copycat. MW was made to serve the same purpose as MI, but I still felt like it should be somewhat distinguishable. "Metal Eire" certainly would have been more immediately obvious that it's an Irish metal site, so I'm hoping that wasn't a poor decision on my part and that most people from MI at least aware of Metal Warfare's existence even if they don't use it.

Edit: Thread unstickied! 6 months definitely seems more than long enough.

I've also registered https://metaleire.com and pointed it at https://www.metalwarfare.com in case I decide to do something in the future!

Oh right yeah. It's good. Thanks Hambeast.
