I’ve just read through your post and some of the posts on the forum you linked to. While I do agree that some of Metal’s views do alienate it somewhat from the mainstream press, I don’t think that’s the only reason why this tends to happen.

One of the posts on the forum that really stood out for me was the following one from Chains:

“Maybe so, but I think the main reason it is ignored by mainstream is because they do not see a difference betwee ac/dc, metallica and slipknot. Remember, whatever’s most popular must be the best from that genre, else it wouldn’t be as popular. This way of thinking means anything underground is discounted out of hand as amateuristic.”

I think this is definitely one of the major reason why underground metal tends to get ignored. Let’s face it, if it’s not in Kerrang your average non-metalhead probably has never heard of it, and is never likely to either.

Anyway, this blog looks like it could end up becoming pretty interesting
