Rock Report
As far as I'm concerned RR.be is the premier site for reviews of
melodic metal and hard rock.
Metal Observer
Wow! You can probably find the review you were looking for here.
Not a web artist's delight but a headbanger's heaven
Living For Metal
This essentially American site tends to err on the side of
death/black metal and some more obscure artists, yet still
offers many cogent review of heavy and progressive metal. An
important feature is their news and interviews sections. This is
a complete and very well-maintained site.
Metal
Temple
Originating from Greece and celebrating six years on the Web,
Metal Temple offers a broad selection of reviews of metal,
mostly from Europe and the surrounding area.
Metal Reviews
A good site with current and classic review. Simple and easy to
navigate, it's worth exploring. I'm not sure of it's country of
origin.
Heavy Metal Universe
Lends itself to reviews beyond the mainstream of euro-metal
including a lot of smaller labels.
MelodicRock.com
Not fancy or technologically savvy, but a damn good site for the
best in melodic hard rock and metal.
RevelationZ Magazine
A complete metal website with current reviews, many interviews,
band information, and an active forum. Well-designed and easy to
navigate.
Metal Storm
They cover the gamut of the metal genre. Clean, easily
navigated site.

The
End Records (USA)
Free shipping! Can't beat that with a stick! But focus seems to
be on the darker side of metal: death, black, hardcore, et al.
Yet, I've found many of the artists I was seeking.
Impulse Music (USA)
Excellent selection, but no free shipping! Also, at times, I have
received damaged items, i.e., jewel cases cracked or shattered.
Nightmare Records (USA)
Independent label with a web store: good selection, but no free
shipping. True metalheads with excellent customer service.
The
Metal Merchant (Germany/Europe)
Even though the exchange rates and shipping costs are not favorable, this is my first choice to get the latest jump on music. I'm extremely impressed by the volume of product available from The
Metal Merchant: music, t-shirts, and more.
Amazon
The usual stuff: search for artist and title then check other
new and used items for better prices. Tip: never pay full price at
Amazon.
The Record Connection
The
best record store in my town; actually it's the only
record store in my town. The best record store in Central
Pennsylvania! They do not have a great online store, so call and ask for Andy or Nathaniel (the Heavy Metal Kid): they will find what you need!
Extremities Entertainment
The second best record store in Central Pennsylvania! This link
will take you to their EBay store. Very big into metal of all kinds: ask for John, the owner.
