----
This time around we've expanded into osu!taiko in addition to osu!standard. Our aim with these contests is to expose metal music to the community with the opportunity to win prizes as well as creating maps to push to ranked status. We urge everyone to participate, whether you have participated before or not. Good luck everyone!
NOTICE: the osu!standard and osu!taiko contests are SEPARATE contests. Although the song pool is shared, the prize pool is not. Two badges will be handed out (pending), one for each game mode.
