MMYYSSTTOORRIIEESSMy first story is when I gotinto metal. So, I was 14, and Iwanted a different genre ifmusic to listen to. I ended upgetting recommendedSlipknot, and thus, I became ametal head. It has taken me along time to get used to themusic and the bands I listento, but overtime, I discoveredmore bands in the metalgenre, and I've got myfavourite bands too.
MMYYSSTTOORRIIEESSMy second story is about my gigexperiences. MY very first gigwas Delilah Bon, who BIzarreFae and Alt Blk Era opened forher. 13 gigs deep, i've enjoyedevery single one. My first metalgig was Electric Callboy at RockCity in 2022 with my cousin.However,the artistI have seenmostlive is Alt Blk Era, who Ihave seen a total five times sofar. Yet, I had a slightembarrassing gig story fromOrbit Culture, butthats for afuture zine.
