The magazines title magazine is misleading it is not about fanatics who like to work with metal. It focuses on talent usually musical talent the kind of stories you don't come across in daily newspapers and your usual magazines. Some of the featured bands are not that famous yet, but one day they will be. If you like bands and want to follow their comings and goings, then Metal Maniacs is something you should subscribe to. I keep some issues handy, because when I hear a song on the radio and the performers are unknown to me, I look them up in Metal Maniacs.
