Polishing Of Metal: Independent Heavy Metal Music History CD/CD-ROM Compilation

...And the saga continues...

The long awaited Polishing Of Metal has now arrived! Now we see “Skel” transformed into a demonic warrior character from hell wielding an ornate battle-axe. The artwork conceived by Derek McDonald, is no less stunning, this time illustrated by Barry Waddell (aka Skully) of Florida Progressive Metal band Seasons Of The Wolf. The picture shows "Skel" now totally clad in chainmail armor emerging from a computer monitor seriously P.O.’d about something! The image merges the future of Heavy Metal with technology together, showing how technology and it shall be one.

Indeed, Polishing of Metal was what the Alliance could have been with more money and time. Polishing of Metal completely merges all of McDonald's past independent release experiences into one nice neat package featuring updates to the past projects as well as several returning bands, including Demacretia and Raggedy Aneurysm. Based on an article written by award winning multimedia author Derek McDonald some 8 year’s ago and subsequently published in the USA and updated, the Polishing of Metal CD-ROM is a project more than 8 year’s in the making that features all types of Heavy Metal, offering something for everyone's tastes.

Massively updating the software and music of Alliance and Recorded History, Polishing of Metal became a double CD set featuring some 5 hours 30 minutes of music, both playable via standard CD deck but also on the computer via Adobe PDF. Over 1 million changes were made since Recorded History including twice as many bands with 1,304 biographies and over 900 album reviews! Now with 19 music videos and well over a hundred licensed color photographs & 5,000 digital PDF & HTML pages listing the history of the genre, the release went far beyond it’s predecessors! The details went right down to the text itself, now in a smoother font with better magnification for easier viewing. Emperor Multimedia launched its animated logo with this release as well! The disc features almost every genre of heavy metal and bands from around the world. Featured on the disc is the CD’s Author Derek McDonald in the Penetrator music video!

The project was 100% designed and financed by Derek McDonald himself and no artists paid to be on it and there is no corporate sponsorship!

Coinciding with its launch was a new company website featuring an extensive database on-line of all the bands in the release and beyond, capable of broadcasting radio, video and audio!

STARTING HELP INFO:

If your text appears jumbled for the band credits or track listings sections, you only need to change the FONT on your text viewer software until it appears in order. We recommend COURIER, COURIER NEW, LUCIDA CONSOLE or TERMINAL. For MS-Windows NOTEPAD program this is accomplished via the menu items: FORMAT>FONT.
If you do not see the start-up video this is because your processor was too busy and it was skipped by the CD-ROM. Restart the CD-ROM with fewer processes running.
