This April, Metal Insider will celebrate its fifth anniversary. And as we continue to evolve, we’ve given ourselves a redesign. We’re very excited to share it with you, as it’s the first major overhaul of the site in its history, and represents the next step of a site that you’ve stayed with for the last half decade.

Overseen and rebuilt by the in-house design and development team of Metal Insider’s parent company The Syndicate, the site has been redesigned from the ground up. It’s now laid out differently, with top stories featured, an easier search function, and links to our most popular columns. Also, as mobile use continues to increase, the site is now fully responsive, meaning that it will adjust to the screen regardless of whether you’re reading it on a desktop, a mobile phone or a tablet. Even our mascot has gotten a new look!. And while cosmetically, the site has been refreshed, our editorial mission is still the same: to bring you the best metal news, interviews, insight and analysis.

We’re very proud of the new site, and would love to hear what you think of it. Weigh in on Facebook or Twitter or leave your feedback in the comments below. As always, thanks for reading Metal Insider.
