== '''Welcome to the ''Complete'' Metal Band Wiki!''' ==
</center>
Our goal is to have the most comprehensive Metal Band archive, period. There are tons of great bands that go unnoticed in other wiki's due to outrageous stipulations. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles ''Like here!'']

<big>SoOur goal is to have the most comprehensive Metal Band database, period. Other places, many really good bands do not qualify for inclusion, due to one or more of their ''whysuggested guidelines for acceptance'' is YOUR band . Why? Because they are '''''"not yet listed?</big>famous enough"'''''.
