XNilo Records Press Release:

Quote :: XNilo Records acquires Firestream Music Vault and Untombed Network/Webzine
(XNR Press Release - Jan 4, 2012)

Today, we at XNilo Records are excited to announce its acquisition of both the: Firestream Music Vault: the largest database of Christian Rock and Metal Albums on the internet, and the Untombed Network/Webzine: an online resource for Christian Hard Rock and Metal News, Interviews, Reviews and Online Radio.

"We’re excited to finalize this deal as it has been months in the making." said XNR co-founder David Michael, "Our goal has been and remains the same: To build a partnership with businesses and ministries within the Christian music industry that are willing to work together. We, at XNR, feel that these recent acquisitions are beneficial to reaching those goals and we’re very excited to bring these two great resources back to the public."

Firestream Music Vault Returns January 2012!
The one question the public has inquired about most has been concerning the return of the Firestream Music Vault. When asked, David M. had this to say,
"Firestream is very important to a lot of people and we wanted nothing more than to see the website operating again. Therefore, I am very excited to say that with the help of Dale from Metal Pulse Radio, we were able to speak with the FS Vault creator, aka Solid, and he agreed to come onboard and help us get the site backup into full operations. With that said, because of Solid's help, we are also thrilled to announce that we are officially re-opening the Firestream Vault to the public this January! Now, it's also very important that the public knows that there are still bugs being worked out and unfortunately when it collapsed all the pictures were lost as well as some data. Therefore, the full restoration of the FSVault will need the help of all the dedicated Vault managers. Nevertheless, I am confident that this amazing team will have it looking better than ever in no time. We are excited and cannot thank Solid enough! We also have something special planned for the Vault that we'll be announcing very shortly, but for now, January 2012 the Firestream Music Vault returns!"

Untombed Network/Webzine
The new Untombed Network is in full operation with a renewed vision and an amazing staff that is ready to bring you the absolute best in Christian Hard Rock and Metal: News, Interviews, Reviews and Radio. In addition, XNR has already begun making changes within its radio station division.
~Firstly, XNR wants to welcome our very good friend, Jeff de los Santos, as Untombed Radio's new station manger. Jeff not only dj's his own show titled 'Through The Dark' but he is also eclectic and very knowledgeable of all things Christian metal/rock. With Jeff at the helm, you can be assured that the radio station is in great hands!
~Secondly, XNR announces our new partnership with Sanctus Gladius Radio! Together, both stations will bring people an amazing variety of Christian metal and rock. Untombedradio will focus more along the lines of hard-rock and melodic metal and Sanctus Gladius will focus on the more extreme metal genres. However, your favorite, 'Live', DJ shows will still play the music styles of their own choosing. Both our station schedules are working together to bring the public a variety and fun interactive time!

We at XNR are very excited to see what’s in store in 2012 for Our partners, Our extended family, and XNR's new ventures!

Yep, I've used the vault many many (many) times in the past. Really looking forward to it coming back on line.

Great stuff.

I tried Firestream but just never seemed to fit in over there. So, the Vault was never that big of a deal to me. I never used it, and probably won't as long as I have here and CMR.

Back in the day, it used to be all under one roof but when the forum was shut down the Vault went to one owner and the forum 'name' went to another. So, as odd as this will sound, the return of the FS-Vault is not affiliated with the FS-Forum. Nevertheless, you're right, here and CMR are indeed great sites to use as well. Very Happy

I think I posted about 5 times on Firestream. Hated it. Smile

I know a lot of people were into the Vault, though. I'm sure it will generate a lot of traffic.

O HAI Dale. Twisted Evil

Wasn't aware that you were on here.

I hadn't used the vault in a while, in fact. I think I'll change that soon.

I have checked out Firestream, but have not posted much there.

I felt the same about the Firestream discussion board as I did about mega-churches. Too big, too many people. Never could get in on many of the discussions, and anything I posted was never responded to.

I did access the Vault at least once a week though. It was a nice one-stop-place for band info.

As far as discussion boards go, I'm thankful I found CHM. Just like I'm thankful I found our current church, which is smaller and more intimate.

Ditto, I also liked to check out the listener comments.

The Firestream Music Vault returns January 16, 2012

The wait is over, January 16, 2012 the Music Vault returns to the public! Please remember, there’s still a lot of work to be done. Tons of album/artist-pictures will need added again and some of the missing data will also need updated. Nevertheless, the site is functional and still rich with content, making it a great resource that can be used while work is begin done. Therefore, we do not want to keep the site from the public any longer because we feel that they have waited long enough for its return.

On our behalf and on behalf of all those who have wanted the return of the vault, we cannot thank the original Vault creator (aka Solid) enough for his help and hard work! Now, it’s time for the team of Vault Managers to roll up our sleeves and bring the Vault the rest of the way home.

With that said… January 16, 2012, Let the countdown begin!
