It's no surprise. This site probably isn't drawing too many power metal fans.
This site used be draw power metal fans back in the day when Chris and Danny reviewed regularly ect. Then some people complained that there wasn't enough Black/Death metal reviews and the tides began to turn.
Today it's the complete opposite it seems. 70 % of the reviews are either Black or Doom metal. I may only have 8 posts but i've been around for a while (2002). This used to be one of my favorite reviews site but the Black Metalization that ensued drove me away since i'm not a fan of the genre. Nothing wrong with reviewing Black metal but people like me who are looking mostly for power - progressive - heavy ect reviews began to look elsewhere since the numbers of reviews for these genre began to drop.
And i'm not whining. Just wanted to give my 2 cents on your comment.
The site was originally black metal oriented in the 2004-05 Era (I wasn't here in 2002). Then things changed when Misha switched to the pink team, V disappeared, Ken took the reins, and the reviewers you mentioned were pumping out the material. Agreed that there isn't much power/prog now, but I'm not sure about 70% of the site being black/doom right now. These things have a tendency to change though, and I imagine your genre will have its day again.
