That’s Heavy
by Benjamin Taylor Ball
Wake up, metalheads. You're sleepin' on great music! It's time to get back to the grind, jump in the pit, slam into gear, and face your doom. We know you can’t get enough bone-crunching, head-banging, soul-crushing music... and we got it! We’re conjuring up some of the most criminally underrated artists that have brutally small fanbases. I conduct interviews with awesome artists across all genres of metal to help them find the audience that they deserve! Raise those horns. It’s gonna be a blast. Follow on Instagram and Youtube for more. (Art by Daniel Hambright/Elynia Productions)
