Online music destination AOL Music has rolled out a heavy metal and hard rock site called NoiseCreep.

The new site aims to provide Metal and Hard Rock Fans with news, music, video and original editorial content in a blog format.

AOL says the site will also serve as a launching pad for new artists and groups to develop a fanbase.

NoiseCreep is the fourth genre-specific site launch from AOL Music that also includes Spinner (for tastemaker rock fans), TheBoot (for country fans) and TheBoomBox (for hip hop fans).
