'Home Of Metal' Celebrating Midlands' Heavy Metal Heritage - Sep. 9, 2008

BirminghamPost.net reports: For too long Birmingham and the West Midlands have failed to celebrate what is rightfully theirs, to claim the city and the region as home of "heavy metal."

"Home of Metal" is a brand new project aimed at creating the first digital archive of metal music, memorabilia and fans stories, to tell the story of this unique moment of Midlands' musical heritage.

Launching at Wolverhampton Art Gallery on Saturday October 25, 10am - 4.30pm, the project coincides with the 40th anniversary of when the term "heavy metal" was coined by music journalist Lester Bangs when describing BLACK SABBATH.

"Home of Metal" warms up with an opportunity for fans of JUDAS PRIEST, NAPALM DEATH, BLACK SABBATH and LED ZEPPELIN to be photographed wearing their prized band t-shirts.

The event, which will take place at The Giffard Arms, Wolverhampton on Friday September 19, 9pm – 11pm will be a great chance for metal fans from far and wide to get together and share this exciting occasion.
