About

Tell us about yourself?:

I first started getting into metal when I was a senior in high school. I was going through friendship breakups with a few individuals, and for a while I was a mood of anger and vengeance. The way I expressed that was through discovering Slipknot's first two albums to help get me through rough times to help me become the man I am today.

Through them, I discovered some of their influences, and other sub genres along the way of my journey as a metalhead. Along with this, I started dedicating most of 2018 to understanding the metal and hardcore sub-cultures, as well as going to shows constantly throughout the year, enough to see a good chunk of the essential bands that had come to my knowledge.

2019 was a bigger year especially with some of the most acclaimed bands releasing new material, as well as seeing many of them especially the almighty Slayer for the first time during leg five, and again for their final show ever.

I've also been a huge fan of the hardcore scene mostly coming from the metalcore sound of the 90s that has been revived and given a new breed of life (Code Orange, Knocked Loose, Vein, Harms Way, Jesus Piece, Sanction, Year Of The Knife, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, etc). These bands have been bringing a new generation of fans into heavy music, and I think these are groups we need right now to bring new blood into the community.

So I've been a bit more open to give other music interests in metal and outside a try even if I might not enjoy it. I'm constantly on the lookout for shows to go to and supporting the local community. Being on this platform has been a great place to hear from people who I wouldn't normally run into who happen to be apart of this community.
