To our ever-growing WikiBrothers,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
When we decided to create Wikimetal, 7 years ago, we knew that "Being Metal" is an expression that means much more than simply liking a style of music.
After all, Heavy Metal is not just a style of music.
Heavy Metal is not just a celebration of everything that society fears.
Heavy Metal is not just a type of sound that has endured and renewed itself for almost 50 years.
Heavy Metal is not just a force that gives hope and keeps thousands of young people alive around the world.
Heavy Metal is not just an attitude against pre-established ideas.
Heavy Metal is not just a way to feel strong and connect with other people.
Heavy Metal is not just a way to confront what people fear and want to ignore.
Heavy Metal is not just a way to release the accumulated tension in our lives.
Heavy Metal is not just a movement that we have had to defend forever, against people who don't know, don't understand, and criticize it. Heavy Metal is not just
a sound that provokes that enveloping sensation of energy and power that gives us goosebumps from head to toe.
HEAVY METAL IS ALL THAT!!!!
We knew this. We always have.
What we didn't know is the overwhelming strength that Headbangers and Metal still have in Brazil, Latin America, and the world, which we discovered when we founded Wikimetal in 2011 and which has made us grow so much over these 7 years, even more so in 2017.
Thank you, Headbangers!
Now, bring on 2018, a year full of new things and much more Rock and Metal!!!
