Metal Music Midwest started back in 2013 Here are my thoughts

 This blog started back in 2013. I was very novice about blogging and it just seemed like another place to promote music. I use to call this blog Artemorbid reviews. I began by posting photos from concerts I attended but then quickly shifted to writing music reviews for heavy metal bands. The blog to me was a Fanzine but in a digital format.

Thru the first couple of years I began to work with other fanzines that were still doing print. AEA zine was one of the first. I would get cd's in exchange for a review.

In time I also started to do interviews for goth scene models.

Live Concert Experience with Cause Of My Affliction in Chicago

Cause Of My Affliction performing live:  at Illuminated Brew Works 6186 N Northwest Hwy, Chicago, IL 60631 I only took four pics for this event. I was just arriving from a long trip and most of my cameras were taken up with space from all the video and photos from my trip. The phone is all I had but I think the results were very good under the circumstances. As the lights dimmed and the crowd's chatter turned to excited murmurs, the anticipation in the room was palpable. The stage, adorned with minimalistic yet striking lighting, was set. The audience, a diverse mix of dedicated fans and curious newcomers, was ready to be captivated by Cause Of My Affliction.

A performance that brought a moment of reflective calm to the otherwise high-energy show. The Encore: A Grand...

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings.
