A collection of more than 1,300 underground metal album, demo, and zine flyers, record store advertisements, concert handbills, photographs, and other materials mailed or distributed between the mid-1990s and early 2000s. These materials were assembled by Scott Waldrop of Wake Forest, North Carolina. Several bear holographic notes addressed to him from musicians and fellow members of the international metal scene. The collection offers evidence of metal's globalization during this period, with flyers from Southeast Asia, Japan, Australia, Eastern Europe, the Near East, Latin America, etc. This period coincides with the rise of death metal and black metal, as well as doom metal and stoner metal. The imagery of these subgenres is well represented. Among the more prominent bands included are Skepticism, Immortal, Azaghal, Electric Wizard, Count Raven, Spear of Longinus, Arghoslent, Diabolic, and Rotting Christ. Also of note is the collateral from independent record stores like Downey, California's Dark Realm Records and metal fashion purveyors such as Oslo, Norway's Wolff's Lair and Itzehoe, Germany's Ancient Arts.
