Metal as Fuck is a global metal lifestyle zine, and will soon be one of the world's leading communities of metal fans. It is a zine dedicated to lovers of metal in all its incarnations, and the primary destination for quality journalism and photography, exclusives you can't get anywhere else, and that inside view you never knew you wanted until you saw it here.
This zine will soon be home to a phenomenal body of metal content: news, reviews, interviews, photos, gig guides, venue lists, festival accounts. columns, and much much more. We have key contributors in strategic locations around the world, from Australia to Scandinavia and to L.A., all of whom have their fingers on the pulse of everything metal. In the not-to-distant future we'll be adding podcasts, vodcasts and even more brilliant content to keep Metal as Fuck blasting along.
Soon enough, Metal as Fuck will be your only logical place to go for metal.
As well as contributed content, Metal as Fuck is also home to consumer-generated content through forums, photos, chatrooms, rating and personal profiles - with special tools to link to friends, industry bodies, and music fans across the world. And they're all united by one bond: their love for metal.
We support the music industry from the ground up, providing a legitimate space for bands to promote themselves and their music, and build their own networks. But unlike every other zine out there, promoters, publicists, labels and other industry bodies are also given the opportunities to grab their own space, to post news that is circulated through the site immediately, and to get back in touch with the punters - wherever those punters happen to be.
We are all metalheads, like you. Everyone on our team, no matter what they do, is passionate about metal. We are music journalists, photographers; some are band members; others are publicists and label reps. We are people who have been in the metal music industry for years, and people who are just newbies on the scene. Our passion is to keep you informed, entertained, and excited about the music and the scene.
Because unlike other music mags, we know that metal isn't just something you listen to: it's something you LIVE.
Our core team is comprised of Leticia Supple (metal music journo) and Foss (metal photojournalist). We also have contributors and writers in Scandinavia, Europe, and all throughout Australia.
Metal as Fuck is a part of Brascoe Publishing, one of Australia's fastest moving, and most unique up-and-coming independent publishers. By working in the metal music industry, the publishers forged strong ties with some key people who helped them to make this zine what you see today.
Many thanks to our sponsors! You guys help keep the metal alive, and help us to keep growing. \m/

There are three people who have been indispensable in getting MaF off the ground.
The first is our graphic designer, Anthony Zoric - based in Sydney - who is also our merch designer. The way this site looks is thanks to Zoric. If you dig it, hit him up on his profile and tell him so.
The technical elements of the site - the build itself - were done by Melchior Mazzone and Evan Sanders. Thanks guys!
