We recently passed the 1,000 post benchmark. This gave us pause to reflect on the history of this site, what we do, the experience it has been for all of us. More than anything we wanted to reach out to all of you, the readers, and say thank you for stopping by to peruse our ramblings about the music we love. We appreciate all of your comments. Fearofbirdshit, send us an email, we'd love to have you on the crustcast. You can set us straight.
Around this same time Geoff Summers, or crustcake gerf, as he goes in these parts of the internet, told us that he wanted to officially step down from the site. Although he has not been able to contribute to the site in a serious manner in quite some, he and beatmasterspeach started the site and was quite the mentor for me when I first came on in 2008. Geoff had the following to say:
Since founding the site in 2007, Crustcake has taken on a life of its own and grown to levels I never initially imagined. The site has a tremendously talented staff and I couldn't be happier with what the efforts they've contributed. I am simply too busy these days teaching and playing music to write about music and so have decided to step down. Sean, Van, Will, and Andy are the real scholars of the music we all know and love anyway, so it's high time they officially take the reigns. Crustcake is in good hands, and though I will no longer be contributing to the site I will forever remain a fan.We appreciate everything Geoff has done for us and the site. Mainly we are happy to have made such a good friend. While this news has its touch of sadness, there is good news here too. We have been spotty in our coverage of Geoff's band Batillus due to an awkward conflict of interests. No more. Rather than Batillus being "my friend's band" I honestly think of them as one of the leading underground metal acts in this country, and we will be covering them as such.
So thank you again for being here, and please reach out to us with any feedback, wants or desires (of the metal journalism variety).
