I am very proud to present the new logo of the Lost Souls Domain,
created by the 'Lord of the Logos', Christophe Szpajdel:
You might have seen his work as he created the logos of many great
metal bands including Emperor, Moonspell and Nachtmystium.
He also created several design elements used around the website.
Maybe I'll even create some shirts with the logo, let me know
if you're interested...

As you can see on the band pages, I thought it was about time to
change the layout a bit. I added some features like sharing your
favourite cds on facebook and myspace, and I finally got rid of the
horrible yellow colour.
Like it? Hate it? Drop me an email...

I'm baaaaaack!
Despite the hopeful rumours, I am actually still alive...
I haven't updated the Lost Souls Domain the last three years for
different reasons, but mostly because I'm not a lazy student anymore.
I work as a software developer, and when I'm back home after a long
day of writing code, it's nice to get away from the computer screen
for a while...
So, what happens when you stop updating a website for three years?
Obviously people were visiting it less and less, because the info
on the site got hopelessly outdated and the site itself starts to
look like a dinosaur compared to all the nice web 2.0 sites out there
(or is that outdated too now?)
But one thing I never stopped doing during the last years is listening
to metal... So I thought it might be fun to resurrect this dinosaur
again to recommend you some of the new bands I discovered.

Do you think this is porno, and your fragile mind should be protected
from this utter filth?
Apparently the dumb americans at Photobucket think so, and
enthousiastically started censoring everything that contains a bit of
nudity... Yep, these fuckers would even censor the Venus of Milo
(Mind you, according to the gay american standards there's nothing
wrong with male nudity and extreme violence)
So I'll be forced to move hosting for the 'obscene' images again,
please be patient if you see a censored cd cover, I'm working on it...

A few new things:
- As most of you probably noticed there have been pop-up ads on
my site. I did not put them here, the Losts Souls Domain is still
a noncommercial site and I don't earn any money with it.
The pop-ups are introduced by the counter of all things
I'm currently testing new counters and I ask everyone to boycot
these assholes at webstats4u
- Lately I've been listening to a lot of bands that I didn't know
yet, and quite a few have been added to the site. Thanks to
everybody for submitting the band suggestions and information.
- A toplist to honour the people who voted the most has been added.
As you can see it shouldn't be too hard to get in that list yourself
- Thanks to the great people at photobucket my traffic problems have
been solved, and also I've been able to put the high resolution
cd covers back online! Cheers!

The Lost Souls Domain forum has now been closed from public usage.
Only a 'selected few' have access to it. This is necessary because
it is an unmoderated forum, and some people can't handle that...
Your zenial.nl accounts are still valid for voting and writing review
but you cannot enter the forum with them anymore. If you really want
access to the forum you can try emailing me. It will help to first
write some reviews to prove you actually know something about metal.

Today the 1.000.000th visitor came to the Lost Souls Domain!
Thanks for all the visits people! I hope you can all find what
you're looking for over here. And remember to keep on voting and
writing reviews to help your fellow metalheads find what they need.

Ongoing traffic problems
As you may have noticed I'm still having problems with my data-
traffic. I'm limited to 50 gigs per month, and when I've reached
that limit the connection speed is being cut to 128 kbps (which
is slooooow). I have already removed all sound samples and high
resolution coverscans, but still I go over the 50 gigs every
month so that's why the last week of each month this page is
so slow...

FINALLY BACK ONLINE!!!
After a period of almost two months I'm happy to announce the
Lost Souls Domain is back online again!
Okay so what the hell happened? On the 26th of Juli the worst
thing that could happen to my homepage happened, the harddisk
just broke down. Luckily I keep enough backups of the homepage
but I still had to get a new harddisk (and I'm eternally low
on cash), reinstall linux on it (of which I don't know anything),
and get the site up and running again. All this during a period
in which I've been to the With Full Force, Wacken Open Air and
Summer Breeze festivals and had to study hard for my exams right
after it. So it really was a matter of no time, no money, and
everything going wrong that possibly could go wrong.
Doesn't matter, the site is up again, and I do hope it'll stay
that way for years to come...
I'll find some time to work on much-needed updates now...

Finally had time to do another update. I added country statistics.
Click on the country at the bottom of the band pages or take a look
at the overview here: http://www.zenial.nl/stats/country.htm

Just to annoy me, my ISP has decided to limit my upload traffic
to 50 Gb per month. Last month I had about 150 Gb outgoing traffic
so I have to severely limit it. One of the ways in which I'll try
to achieve this is to remove all the audio samples
******
29 mar 2003
Again over 500 new cd covers (mostly high-quality scans of newer
releases), lots of updated info and finally there's more than one
album in the top10 of 2003
******
15 mar 2003
Did another big update. 500 new covers, seperate stats pages for
each year (click on the year next to a cd title) and also a
little tag for newly added bands on the site.

Just wanted to thank everyone for suggestion some very nice
bands to me. I need some time to listen to all of them, but
slowly the new bands are being added to the list. Just check back
often if you suggested something...

20 sep 2001
The Lost Souls Domain now has it's own domain name:
www.zenial.nl
Please use this instead of the sh55k01 address. At the moment
they both work but only www.zenial.nl is guaranteed to work...
******
15 sep 2001
And finally, with help from Arus, I changed the lay-out of the
bands page. Tell me what you think about it! Oh, and help with
redesigning the rest of my homepage would still be greatly
appreciated
******
5 sep 2001
Finally the scripts work again! My server is running nicely with
Debian linux and Apache webserver. So please vote and write reviews
everyone, you've got some catching up to do. Oh, and don't forget
to fill in your username & password and submit your info when you
vote, else it won't count...

21 aug 2001
Sadly the last two weeks this homepage was not reachable. This is
because my webserver was infected with the Code Red virus. I am
currently in the process of replacing the M$ Win2000 server with
one running on Linux. This will be done in about a week. Until
then I'll host the website from a win98 machine. So if it's still
unavailable or just slow, please be patient... Thing will be better
next week.
