the editorial bit

Yes, there's been some serious inactivity for a long time over on Archaic Metallurgy. And there are few reasons for it.

For one, I, the editor, have been very busy on some other parts on the fields of life. Secondly, the database has a bug (letters such as ä, ö, ü and á, with many, many others showing like something unintelligible at the moment); if the bug can be easily fixed, fine, but if not, I am not going to edit every possible bugged text entry in the database.

If the bug will prove to be such that it requires hours and hours of editing, the AM will close. There are other ways to publish the reviews, which have been the major thing over this website. Interviews will be gone, or published in some other way.

The future is AM is totally in shadows at the moment. It will be clear soon, though...

Enjoy summer (if that is happening where you live) and metal music!
