About

Wicked Land is formally known as Dominion Pantera, started in Nov. of 1996 with Pantera as the only band. In Feb. of 1997, it was changed to Wicked Land with KoRn, Pantera, and Marilyn Manson. Then on July 18, 1997, the Deftones was added to the lineup. Far was incorporated into Wicked Land on Aug. 28, 1998. After being hosted at Geocities and other sub-domains, the Wickedland.com domain became effective on Feb. 16, 1999. On March 10, 1999, Soulfly was added to the site after beating out System of A Down, Fear Factory, etc. in a user poll. The most recent addition was Zao, which went up on August 18, 1999.

The very first URL for this site was "http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Alley/9469/" for about 3 years. After that, "http://www.binary.net/wicked" was the link for about a year. And finally now, Wickedland.com.

My other big project is InStrife.com, which was started on June 19, 2000. InStrife.com covers the hardcore scene whereas Wicked Land covers the metal scene.
