Win a Mausoleum Gate t-shirt from Cruz Del Sur Music and Heavy Metal Time Machine!

Cruz Del Sur Music and Heavy Metal Time Machine are teaming up to give one lucky reader this exceptional Mausoleum Gate T-shirt! For those who don't know the name, Finland's Mausoleum Gate are a amazing new band whose N.W.O.B.H.M.-inspired take on 70's hard rock and traditional heavy metal is by far one of the sweetest sounds to hit the heavy metal scene in a very l-o-n-g time! This XL shirt features the same demon head character that appears on the group's self-titled LP (review link posted below along with a recent interview with the band) and all you have to do for a chance to win it is to send your name and address to: heavymetaltimemachine@gmail.com. The contest will remain open until 11/2/14 and on 11/3/14 I will randomly draw the one entry and announce the lucky winner right here at Heavy Metal Time Machine. In the meantime be sure to check out the band here: https://www.facebook.com/MausoleumGate

Name the feature

Thanks to everyone who entered this contest. It was actually a tough decision, but I am going with "Heavy Metal Thunderdome" which was submitted by Beckeye. Congratulations to her. This new column will start up in January.

Name the feature contest

Starting in January of 2011 I am planning on doing a new feature here on my blog and I am having a contest to name it. Largely because I suck at coming up with catchy names and also in part because I like giving out prizes. So the column is either going to be monthly or bi-monthly (I have not yet decided). The feature will be me offering two metal albums that are normally highly rated based on the music. I may offer some facts about each and then ask readers to pick which album they prefer just based on the music. So if you have a snappy name for this feature go over to the right where it talks about contacting me and click on "here" and submit the name you think I should use. Also include an e-mail I can use should I pick your entry. Contest will run up until 11/14/2010 and the next day I'll pick the name I like the best. What do you win? Well, I'll use the name you submitted on my feature for all of 2011 and most importantly I'll send you a package consisting of pretty cool promo metal discs that I have laying around. So put on your thinking caps and enter.

Contest coming soon

I need your help naming a new feature that will start in January so I am going to run a contest starting November 1st to give everyone a chance to contribute their ideas. There will be a prize for the winner of course. So on the 1st I'll post more details and you can starte entering then. So get your brains ready, stop by here between the 1st and the 15th for details and enter.
