About

Tell us about yourself?: 

Young guy into old school metal! If it's old school metal I probably dig it, from glam to black metal, from world famous to ultra-obscure.

From the Toronto area, the most diverse city in the world and one of the most underappreciated but important cities to the history and formation of heavy metal!

Been collecting records, tapes, CDs, shirts, posters, flags and patches for 8 years.

What's your reason for joining tshirtslayer?: 

Patch buying/trading

Do you goto any festivals or shows?: 

No festivals yet (seems to be a lack of them recently in the Toronto area), but my favourite music events I've attended are UXB Press' signing events, one with Razor, Sacrifice and Slaughter (Can), and one with Anvil and Rapid Tears. In 2021 the company published a book about the Toronto metal scene in the 80s and I totally gained an even deeper appreciation for Toronto metal, after being both a die hard metalhead and lover of Toronto for years (where else can you walk down the street and hear 30 different languages being spoken!)

I've been going to shows for years, some of my favourite concert memories include Guns N' Roses, Ozzy Osbourne, and Anvil.
