The Spirit of Metal webzine is an online collection of bands from Heavy Metal and its subgenres. SoM is similar to the Encyclopaedia Metallum. The difference between the two online collection portals is that Spirit of Metal also included in its encyclopedia bands that have their roots in Hardcore Punk. The site originated in France.
Since the founding of the website in 2003, Spirit of Metal is available in 9 languages (French, German, English, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Polish and Portuguese).
In addition to the tape archive, Spirit of Metal acts as a messaging service. So band messages are added, interviews conducted, concert and album reviews published, which are corrected by the professional staff and published thereafter. Interviews, reviews and news are published in French or English. Spirit of Metal also sells its own T-shirts. Many well-known musicians from world-renowned groups, including Sharon Janny den Adel (Within Temptation), Edu Falaschi (Angra), Janne Wirman (Children of Bodom), Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth), Simone Simons (Epica) and Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity) Members have the opportunity to discuss bands and other topics in the forum, and can send private messages outside the forum.
