Ultimatemetal.com isn't just a bunch of forums either. They also have information for new bands, albums and tour info. An online shop to purchase merchandise. (mostly unsigned band merchandise or bands on small labels) This is where I go to get all my news. Most of the band members of the bands post on their own forums. (I've talked to kimberly from Sinergy and Janne from Children of Bodom a few times as well as seen members from other bands post)
