Veteran Metal Site Lambgoat Under New Ownership

Well-liked steel and hardcore weblog Lambgoat is now less than new possession, according to a write-up from the site’s founder, Alex Arnold, last night. He clarified that the web-site will go on on under the care of Dave, also regarded as Lurk. You can go through his comprehensive statement beneath, but Arnold seems to be leaving Lambgoat on fantastic phrases.

“When I started out Lambgoat in 1999, I experienced grand plans to… actually, I had no plan in anyway. Lambgoat.com was merely a spot for me to submit about hefty songs and sharpen my net design and style and growth techniques (or lack thereof). Considerably to my shock, in a yr or so it experienced blossomed into a authentic destination for a modest contingent of hardcore and steel audio supporters.

“During the earlier 23 several years I’ve published tens of thousands of news merchandise, news “bits,” album critiques, and site entries I have sent and examine 1000’s of e-mails I’ve opened thousands of pieces of media mail from report labels, bands, and people I have deleted hundreds of obnoxious information feedback I have expended literal months viewing social media feeds, artist web sites, and so forth. for opportunity information goods I could go and on. I’ve lived and breathed this matter for so very long that I just can’t even remember what my existence was like right before Lambgoat.

“I started out this website when I was in my early 20s and I’m now effectively into my 40s. During that time, I’ve held a independent (non-tunes associated) comprehensive-time occupation and raised a bunch of small children. Frankly, I’ve been terribly conflicted about relocating on, but daily life is small and I’m exhausted. That explained, Lambgoat will dwell on. The new house owners, Dave (aka Lurk) and his partners, are much more than capable of carrying on the mission and I glance forward to viewing the place they acquire matters.

“Lambgoat readers have hardly ever lacked the temerity to contact me out when justified, or the graciousness to specific appreciation where by ideal. I sincerely thank just about every and each just one of you. Devoid of you all, this complete factor would not be shit.

“I’ll see you all over. Really feel free of charge to hit me up on Twitter.

Regards,
Alex”

We want to congratulate Alex for founding and managing the site—and its vulgar peanut gallery of a comments section—for the previous 23 years. Excellent luck to Dave in trying to keep the hearth burning.
