Headbangers had a social network before the Internet even existed.

Nearly two decades ago, thousands of metalheads joined together to defeat Tipper Gore and the PMRC. In the process they formed a fortress that still stands to this day... "better than it was before. Better, stronger, faster."

The World Metal Alliance is a non-commercial organization of heavy metal fans and heavy metal musicians founded in 1992. It has never charged for membership, never accepted paid advertising, nor has it ever filled anyone's inbox with annoying spam emails. The WMA's mission is the same today, as the day it was founded: "To protect, promote and preserve heavy metal music by informing and uniting the heavy metal subculture." During its first four years the World Metal Alliance operated using only printed media, conventional mail and word-of-mouth. Yet the WMA's message of strength through unity quickly spread, successfully gaining members from all 50 States and throughout the world. Eventually the organization would continue these efforts online in 2000, with even greater success. And although the methods of communication have changed, our mission has not. And we think you'll find our primary goal for unification is what makes our heavy metal forum not only informative, but extremely more positive than every other heavy metal forum on the Internet.
