Justin Corbett

Justin is a husband, father, a podcaster, a comic creator, and a huge Metal head. Since he was 12, he’s been listening to Metal in some form. Starting with Thrash and Industrial, and growing into a fan of all thing extreme, he has a love of most sub-genres. The only thing he’s very particular about is clean singing… If he doesn’t like the cleans, he won’t listen. For years he’s toyed with the idea of starting this site, and in 2024, he finally pulled the trigger.

Raul Perez

Heavy music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, my older brother was always blasting CC and slayer. I made the typical journey from Nu Metal to Metalcore to big label bands and finally to wonderful world of the indy/underground/diy metal, grind, and hardcore scenes. I love going to shows, discovering new bands, buying too many records and merch items. Raw Black, War, Dissonant and Cavernous Death, Grind, Mince, Powerviolence, Hardcore Punk, Beatdown, Noise, Drone and plenty more are my genre favs when it comes to Harsh Vocals.

Simon Hernandez

Deep rooted in the borrowing of my father’s Cds as a kid. I discovered the ticks to my tocks and a passion for aggression in music. Sprawling influences from the Riders of Lightning to the slaying of dragons…and the dangers of flying too close to the sun during a certain flight. I love how the music got faster and darker, the roots, deeper, the time signatures more obscure, and the lyrics more evil. Favorite bands include Opeth, Black Sabbath, Lamb of God, Brainstorm, Shadows Fall, Decapitated, Killswitch Engage, Slayer, many more. Reside in sunny Southern California, Married, Father of 2. Love making delicious BBQ and Homemade Jerky. Glad to be part of the team! Looking forward to many new tunes to come.

I am a playwright, novelist and academic and have been a metal fan since 1979. I am very interested in how metal has evolved and the misconceptions that have arisen in the metal world through poor journalism and fan assumptions. My vinyl collection is getting ridiculous but I’m an addict, so there! Viva Von!

Makalia

Nestled in a little town, Makalia’s discovery of Avenged Sevenfold catapulted a lifelong love and hunger for metal music of every sound. She has a huge passion for anything Black Metal (Atmospheric to be exact) and has loved discovering new sounds. If it has amazing guitar solos and insane drums, she is all over it. When she’s not listening to music she spends her days hiking, collecting vinyls, and admiring her tarantulas.

Bri McIntosh

Bri was introduced to loud music while in her mother’s belly at a Rush concert, and has been passionate about music and shows ever since. She asked her dad for Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory CD when she was 8, and the rest is history. From nu metal, emo, and metalcore, she eventually discovered black, death, and doom metal and developed an intense love for black metal. She also listens to goth, post-punk, industrial, visual kei, and some Latin music to honor her half-Chilean blood. When not listening to music, at a show, or collecting vinyl, you’ll find her reading, playing RPGs, watching true crime and horror movies while working on her next crochet blanket, or spending time with her husband and 2 cats.

Dolores Haas (Didi)

Nestled in the heart of rural Pennsylvania, Didi grew up hearing two things, “Go birds”, and “Turn that down”! Since a young age she has been passionate about alternative arts, particularly music and fashion. While she listens to a wide range of metal music these days, her heart has always belonged to OSDM (Old School Death Metal) with a particular love for the bands out of the Florida scene.

Her love of OSDM extends beyond the music as she is passionate about the history and development of the scene. She is particularly devoted to cataloging all of this information and can most often be found lugging around a pink bag that is full of zines, printed interviews, and album inserts covered in sticky notes. In terms of newer music, her focus is primarily on promoting local distros and underground bands, and she is particularly passionate about bands out of the DMV area. Apart from music she has been an active member of the Japanese Fashion community for over ten years and enjoys all things nerdy. When not bent over her computer or creating content, she can most often be found playing GameCube games or out hiking in the woods.

Anna Wagner

My name is Anna. I am a stay at home mom during the week and a travel CNA on weekends, living in small town MN. I take pride in my baby, my family and friends,  my cats, my home life, and my music taste. I also love my Corolla with a roof rack and 6-SLOT CD player. 

I grew up in a small town that had a Christian book store where I first listened to metal. Crazy right? The first metal band I first fell in love with was ‘As I Lay Dying’ with their album A Long March: The First Recordings. I love most music but especially metal. I LIVE for live music – Oh look a homophone.

Aside from music and writing, I love being with people I love, swimming, lake superior, airplanes, Nascar and GameCube!
