365 Days of Metal: This is it, This is the Countdown to...

EXTINCTIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Ahem... Sorry. I couldn't help it.

Last Friday I wrote this behemoth post about the fact that I wanted to start a 365 project based specifically off of Metal albums, and with them the bands behind them - obviously. Wanting to get a little bit of an advance, so that I can keep moving along fluidly, I started working on some prototypes over the weekend, until I found a style that fit the bill.

To reiterate what I wrote in my last post, 365 Days of Metal will showcase one album and one band per day, for the next year (or as long as I managed to keep this alive). And each post will feature the following:

1. Album details up front (genre, label, release date, length, favorite tracks, etc.)  + Album cover
2. A description of the album in 20 words or less - in typical Jay style.
3. A small paragraph about the artist or band in question.
4. My personal take on the album - which doesn't always mean it will be favorable.
5. A sample, as I frequently give, usually through a youtube video. 

The gist of this post is just to remind you of the general layout of what to expect, and to let you all know that:

365 Days of Metal begins next Monday - August 22nd, 2011.

Get stoked - all six of you. Oh, and as Europe will attest, Glam Metal definitely counts:
