I think #2 is the biggest issue. I'm not sure how the metal community would react to a "beatport for metal". Regarding #1, that's definitely an issue but there are still some pretty large subsections of metal on "non-mainstream" labels, esp. folk metal, black metal, etc. The sort of bands you'll see at Wacken Open Air. Metal used to be a much bigger thing, it's died down in recent years, but still has devout fanbase. I'm sure there is a market, but I'm not quite sure how big it is... And Lamb of God are awesome too! \m/ Saw them live in London. :D
