About MetalAsylum.netMetalAsylum.net is an online website which reviews Hard Rock and Heavy Metal music, brings you live concert reports, interviews with artists, special featured articles, end of the year lists, etc. Our publication has been online since 2005 (with older content from 2002-2004 carried over from our previous name), run by Asylum owner Rich Catino, who is also a writer. The Asylum has included a number of contributors over the years who have made the reading all the more interesting and varied. We also are very lucky to have on board Mark Gromen, from Bravewords and Bloody Knuckles magazine (bravewords.com), whose vast education in this music has made for many insightful and educational reviews.At the Asylum, we not only talk about the architects, godfathers, and hit-makers of the past from the 70s and 80s, but pride ourselves in bringing attention to newer younger bands who are actively making new music in the present and who are important to the preservation of this music for the future. Our site has a Facebook page, which is always updated with news and links to reviews and interviews, and a Twitter page. The views, opinions, and behaviors described by guests during any one of the interviews or panels do not necessarily reflect positions held or the condonance of Metal Asylum or the hosts.
