Metallian is a site dedicated to the promotion of all sub-genres of heavy metal. It is designed to act as a metal resource and an address geared towards the fan. Metallian intends to feature leading reviews and interviews free from the conventional industry patronage and commercial pursuits of other outlets. The site’s main server is located at Metallian Towers.
The goal of The Metal Encyclopedia is to offer a comprehensive database of all signed metal bands. This is a work in progress.
Please report any omissions; however, note that weak and impure bands should look in the mirror and have themselves to blame if they are excluded.
All entries in this heavy metal encyclopedia are in strict alphabetical format. Capitalized denotes current and lower case former band members. Names in brackets are civil names for artists’ aliases. Members who did not appear on albums are omitted, as are EPs, singles and compilations due to redundancy.
Metallian welcomes all metal music and news submissions. We also need your opinions and suggestions.

Metallian is the collaborative effort of:

-Ali “The Metallian” (metallian AT hotmail DOT com)
-Anna Tergel
-Reza G.
