VIBRATIONS OF DOOM MAGAZINE WILL SOON BE NO MORE...
Steven Cannon here...
For 19 years now I have been providing a free service to extreme music lovers
worldwide in the form of 50 issues' worth of music reviews and band interviews,
a 5 years' running weekly radio show, the classic albums archives which houses
almost 1400 rare, classic and out of print 80's metal titles, and so much
more. I totally enjoyed what I have put together for so long, and am very proud
of all that I have accomplished...
Unfortunately, the webhosting renewal fees are due by March 5th... Quite simply
folks, I can't afford to renew the domain... With my only method of
transportation (namely, my car) facing at least a thousand dollars worth of
transmission repair, needless to say the money I need to simply get from place
to place isn't there. I would hate to not make a 20th year of this long running
internet based music magazine, but it comes down to a simple question of
survival...
And to be honest, when my groundbreaking 50th issue was released on Christmas
day in 2010, it was indeed one of the biggest issues I had ever done. More
interviews graced this issue than any other in the magazine's history. And yet,
as proud as I was, for all my accomplishments, not ONE single person offered a
congratulatory email. Only a few facebook messages saying thanks, but not one
single person offered their best wishes. Rarely in the magazine's history do I
ever get any feedback on any of the issues I do. Rarely in the 5 years that the
online radio show has been in existence have I ever gotten any requests for
songs, or even feedback on the show itself. The classic albums section? Well,
that's the one place where I usually see letters from people. But usually it's
to ask where they can get such and such album, or will I make them a copy of
band X, or whatever...
So really, what I'm saying is, does anyone even CARE? I mean, come on! The
world's oldest and longest running internet based music magazine ON THE FUCKING
PLANET... Surely that's gotta count for something!! Bottom line is this people.
The webhosting domain needs $110 U.S. dollars by March 5th. Otherwise the doors
will be shut for good, and they WON'T be reopening... I supported metal in the
early 90's, when grunge became popular and metal died a sad death. I was there
when black metal became popular, and still through it all held the torch for
80's metal HIGH. So how about helping out? I wanna do this for a long time to
come, but times are extremely hard right now. Gas has risen to over 3 and a
half dollars in this country. Food and other necessities have risen in price.
I'm not asking people to help me eat and pay bills, I'm asking to help keep
this wonderful musical resource going. I CANNOT do it without help, and I
shouldn't have to shoulder the burden ALONE. I've been running this entire
website practically by myself for 19 years, with little to no help from ANYONE.
I want to know my efforts are still wanted, hell, even appreciated. Donations
of ANY size are welcome. Paypal them to me at my regular email address:
