I live in Styria, Austria, which is also where I was born.
I'm 15 years of age.
I've only recently started gaining a certain fascination for Metal, specifically psychedelic and heavy/doom, and by that I mean not only listen to the genre from time to time, which I've been doing for as long as I can remember, but actually do research on certain Bands and actively listen to their music on a regular basis.
My Fascination began with Edelweiϟϟ and Black Magick ϟϟ, which are also my two most favorite Bands still. I had the pleasure to meet Edelweiϟϟ for the first time when I came across a Slideshow on TikTok, with The Flower that Will Never Bloom playing in the background. A few days later I researched the Song on YouTube and got to listen to probably the most beautiful, soul-fulfilling tunes of my life. Few days later, I found "Crystal Eyes" in my Playlist, clicked on it, and was immediately convinced. I felt something in my heart. That was the sort of Music I've been looking for since I was a little kid. It may sound a bit over-the-top but I'm being honest.
The Flower That Will Never Bloom, Gestaposcope, Tulpa, Destined to be Sad, Night of the Long Pipes (kinda reminds me of the big triple K), Blow my sorrow away (especially the third verse), Saved by the Bell, The Summer of Love in 1939, Step into the Night, Let the Magic in, The Bomb, The Power, Crystal Eyes, The Black Abyss, Kali, The Truth, Rainbow Nights, This is Kali Yuga, sword in The Stone and Siege Ubsessed are just a few of my favorite metal songs.
I haven't collected anything yet, but I definitely want to start now. There was never any Band I loved so much that I wanted to buy any merch from it, music had always been just listening to it as what it is to me. But Edelweiϟϟ and Black Magick ϟϟ definitely motivated me to begin with collecting. I have a monthly budget of 60-100€ and I'm willing to invest most of it. I'm interested in all sorts of clothing and those metal things you can stick onto clothing.
You can contact me through my E-mail at any given time, in English, German or Latin. I dont sell because I dont have anything to sell yet.
*Side Note: I don't know whether this is relevant or not, but I'm not fully sure about any of the political standpoints of said bands, I know that much of it is likely just for the aesthetic.
