The heaviest fucking club a group of collegiate metal nerds could muster.
Welcome to the Heavy Metal Knights! This is a registered club with the Student Government Association at the University of Central Florida. This club also goes by the name Heavy Metal Knights @ UCF.
Mission statement: "To increase awareness, legitimacy and acceptance of heavy metal musical styles and culture, to promote a sense of community among listeners, and to expose each other to new styles of music through the creation of an open forum."
Metal in America today is in an interesting state. While it has endured through a period when it was often dismissed, there are many forms of metal that are growing and bringing new music to a classic genre. With relatively nonexistent media coverage (or almost exclusively negative media coverage) metalheads may have a tough time finding new music to enjoy. With these circumstances, it may also be very difficult to find other people to share the experience with. The Heavy Metal Knights @ UCF was created to help create a community to support a growing interest in metal music of all sub-genres.
Goals of Metal@UCF:
1. Sharing of musical tastes - Every member should bring their favorite music (in CD or MP3 form) to each meeting to share with everyone else. Tell everyone why you like it and what about it that appeals to you.
2. Concert groups - We keep a running list of concerts gathered from all reaches of the metal community. We try to make sure everyone who wants to attend a show has someone to go with and also carpool quite often.
3. Positive Representation - The world has its view of metal and metalheads. Our club is often a reminder that there is a friendly and fun side to metal.
4. Grow as a community - All metalheads are welcome. Even if you dont listen to metal and just want to hang out and learn, show up at some meetings. They are free and fun.
