| Saturday, August 3, 2019 - Archive Version is online | Since closing down the site and taking some time off, only to start a new RevelationZ site a year later, I have been going back and forth between making this old incarnation of the site available online in some way or form.
I finally found a way to get it back online very cheap and spent some time adjusting the code, so the site works in an archive state. The member section is disabled, so it is not possible to add comments.
Mainly, I felt it was a shame to have all this great content, which we put our hearts and souls into for almost a decade, hidden away on a hard drive in my computer, unseen and unread.
Enjoy this piece of Heavy Metal & Hard Rock history, which was the RevelationZ Magazine website.

| Thursday, August 18, 2011 - RevelationZ Site News - RevelationZ Closing Down | It is with mixed feelings that I announce the closure of the RevelationZ website.
This has not been an easy decision to make. I have spent most of my spare time in the past 10 years developing and running the site and it has been a fantastic ride. Financial issues, motivation factors and changes in my priorities, all contribute to the fact, that I am no longer able to keep the site running, at the high level that I want.
I want to thank my staff for their contributions through the years. I believe each of us added our own ingredient into making RevelationZ something very special. I also wish all our readers the best in their future musical discoveries.

| Wednesday, March 9, 2011 - RevelationZ Site News - Layout Update and Facebook Integration (Step 2) | The following changes have been made to the site today:
· The layout of the comments section has been redesigned and layout of reviews has been modified as well. The MP3 previews of albums are now at the bottom of the reviews under the comment section.
· Step 2 of our Facebook integration has been implemented. The Facebook Comments section! It is now possible to add comments to the site with your Facebook profile. The idea is to make it easier to post comments. You can choose if you want to sign up as a RevelationZ member or just use your existing Facebook profile. You still need to be a RevelationZ member to rate albums.
· The Facebook Like button has been placed right beneath each article instead of below the left menu.
· The Article RSS feed has been updated to include Categories and both RSS feeds now include Authors and Publication dates.
Notice that the Facebook integration is in the testing phase at the moment and we are still considering how best to use it. Your feedback is welcome!

| Monday, January 17, 2011 - Tommy Leaves RevelationZ | Tommy has sadly decided to leave the RevelationZ staff. Read his statement below.
Hi all,
These words haven't been easy to pen down!
I have been a part of RevelationZ for eight years but for some time I have struggled to find the right kind of motivation. If you look at the statistics I haven't really been that productive in a while and I believe in doing things with the right kind of spirit and if that's not there, well then I shouldn't be doing it.
So I'm stepping down, taking in a fresh breath and see what life will bring. The love for Heavy Metal and Hard Rock music is still the same though, that's one of the things that will never change.
I have had a blast being part of this, keep the flame burning and thanks for reading along!
Metallic regards
Tommy

| Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - RevelationZ Shopping links update and MP3 preview on reviews | RevelationZ Site Update:
CD-Wow has been added to our list of affiliates again and you can find a shopping link on each review under the "Z supported shopping" headline. Links to Amazon's MP3 download shop have also been added to all reviews. The MP3 download links are currently only avalable to American and UK residents due to Amazon policies. I am hoping to add more countries to the list soon.
In addition it is now possible to listen to a 1 minute preview of all songs of an album on most of our reviews. Beneath the ratings of each review you will find a box showing if the album is available for download along with a 1-minute preview from each song. If the album is not available for download then a completely random album may show. There seems to be no workaround for this highly inadequate but slightly amusing defect... Enjoy. This MP3 feature is being tested at the moment and it's being considered if it is going to be a permanent part of the site so try it out and give me your feedback below or through email.
The example below shows what the MP3 box looks like on the "Enforcer - Into the Night" review:

| Thursday, September 17, 2009 - RevelationZ Magazine - Website problems | The website has experienced some problems lately and you may have received an error if you visited the site over the past few days. I have been working closely with our hosting company to track down the error and it turns out that their newly installed Antivirus doesn't have the best taste in music and consequently deletes an integral part of the website several times a day. After much confusion and gnashing of teeth it was decided to lock the Antivirus in a shed along with a symphony of mixed metal for 24 hours. Now it seems to leave the website alone. ...And there was much rejoicing.

| Wednesday, July 22, 2009 - RevelationZ - New Site Feature | A new layout feature has been added to the site.
If you see a text marked like this in a review: Manowar - then it means that you can click the text to find out more about the band or person mentioned. The link will take you to a band overview/info page where all articles on that band or person will be available. As of now, all bands we have written about on the site are marked this way in reviews in order to make it easier to find related information.
This feature may have an impact on the speed of the site and it's still in an early stage of development. If you notice the speed of the site has become worse you're welcome to let me know and I just might unleash my inner nerd and try to supertune my programming algorithms even further.

| Friday, February 6, 2009 - RevelationZ - Image quality on live reports | As you may have noticed it has been necessary to lower the quality of pictures on many of our live reports. This is due to our web hosting company demanding a larger monthly fee because the site is growing in space requirements, largely due to the many high resolution pictures. Since the site has had a yearly deficit of around $1000 since it started in 2002 I have had to lower the image quality to stay below the space limit.

Happy new year to all readers!
