TMD&#8217;s owner and editor, Randy &#8220;Rocket&#8221; Cody, launched the webzine initially in February of 2005 via Myspace, while writing for leading heavy metal site metalunderground.com. The next year in 2006, Cody partnered with Eddie Karam of Florida based THE EDGE FACTORY, to officially launch the website for<strong> THE METAL DEN<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/center><center>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;Did you know that the Order of The Dragon specifically ties to the royals in England?

The fake article was titled &#8220;Metallica &#8216;set to record album with Lady Gaga for release in 2019&#8217;.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">However, without a doubt, Cody is most well known for his work investigating the deaths of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington. He posted over 400 long format reports between 2017 and 2018, reaching over an estimated one billion online readers in that time due to his work being published at many major mainstream news sites, including the Detroit News in the USA, one of the top 10 most read newspapers in the United States. Cody was interviewed about the late SOUNDGARDEN frontman&#8217;s purported suicide by hanging, and a subsequent Detroit News newspaper article was circulated to the public next which featured Cody. The article was titled &#8216;Chris Cornell Death Probe Leaves Some Unsatisfied&#8217;, and the news story next exploded into a viral sensation when LINKIN PARK vocalist, Chester Bennington, was found hanging on Chris Cornell&#8217;s birthday two months later in 2017. Cody&#8217;s work was immediately deemed a hoax by the Inquisitr news site by way of a piece titled &#8220;For Some Reason, People Believe Chester Bennington And Chris Cornell Were Murdered By A Pedophile Ring.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/center><center>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Report &#8211; THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: Who Was Jack The Ripper? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UWGODhIkqi\">https:\/\/t.co\/UWGODhIkqi<\/a> (Part 2) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheMetalDen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TheMetalDen<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qmSMXSVlm7\">pic.twitter.com\/qmSMXSVlm7<\/a><\/p>&mdash; The Metal Den (@TheMetalDen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheMetalDen\/status\/1026333920818802688?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> \n<\/center>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legendary rock journalist, Randy &#8220;Rocket&#8221; Cody, was a special guest today on FM Rock Radio&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=79809"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79812,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79809\/revisions\/79812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=79809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=79809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=79809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
