Born from the fire of metal and fueled by the raw energy of punk, I live and breathe the music that defines us. With years of immersion in the scene, I've seen it all - from the underground gigs that shake the walls to the festival anthems that unite us all. As a relentless supporter of the scene, I’m here to give voice to the stories that matter. My words and interviews dig deep into the heart of the music, unearthing the grit, the glory, and the spirit that keeps metal and punk alive. Whether I'm dissecting the latest riffs or diving into the business behind the bands, my writing is as bold, direct, and relentless as the music itself. If you’re as passionate about this world as I am, my work is for you.
