Australian Metal Guide
http://www.ausmetalguide.comA reference site that focuses on Australian metal and heavy rock acts exclusively.
BNR Metal Pages
http://www.bnrmetal.comThe BNR Metal Pages is the online home of Brian Russ, a long-time metal fan who has taken it upon himself to catalog everything he has heard. This site was the inspiration for Librarius Metallicus. It's a great resource.
Metal Archives
http://www.metal-archives.comShortly after Librarius Metallicus went live, another similar site sprang up. Their approach is a bit different, in that they let anyone contribute, but leave a few moderators to review and approve submissions. I considered that approach when building Librarius Metallicus, but I decided it would be easier to maintain if I left control of who could add material to people I trusted to not need supervision. Different approaches, different results. Regardless, it's another great resource for metal fans.
