DCHeavyMetal.com is THE best place for everything heavy metal in the Washington DC, Baltimore and Northern Virginia area. There is an extensive calendar of upcoming metal concerts in this area, as well as a downloads page where anyone can get free mp3s from local metal acts of any metal sub-genre. The venues page not only has address info and links to many of the area’s concert venues, but I’ve also included booking contact info for bands looking to play there.
I go to metal shows regularly and post concert reviews along with photographs and videos, all written and shot by myself. I try to keep the reviews fairly basic, I don’t like getting overly technical so that only musicians can understand them. I welcome ALL metal sub-genres here, even those I’m not particularly fond of have a home here. This is no place for elitist exclusionary bullshit. This is a site dedicated to getting people more interested in the growing metal scene in this area, and to help make being a part of it easier for everyone, the bands, the fans, the venues and promoters too.
On Twitter you can find me as @MetalChris and you’ll see that I post news and updates about local bands, venues, concerts, etc… almost every day. If you want to stay up to the minute on the goings of the area’s metal scene, following me on Twitter is the best way to do that. You can also “like” this site on Facebook, but that page does not update as often as Twitter. You can go to www.Facebook.com/DCHeavyMetal to do that. If you want to see more of the photographs I’ve shot of bands over the years, check out my Flickr page here. If you’d like to see more of the live video footage I have shot at concerts, check out my YouTube page here.

Send me an email if you have any suggestions or questions, if you’d like your band’s mp3s included on the Downloads page, if you see any incorrect or outdated info or other errors, if you know of a metal show I haven’t listed on the calendar yet, if you want to send me your band’s demo or upcoming concert flyer image, or really for anything relating to this site.
