My story began about 4 years ago in my local FYE CD store as I was perusing the metal section for something to complement my growing collection of power metal releases. I, a lone Viking warrior poised to impale the planet Earth with the fire’s of Mount Doom, could not believe what I had gained in weight and I was gutted. I said that, from this moment on, I would lose the weight I had put on – plus more. Not only are a lot of heavy metal fans traditionally closed minded, they’re also remarkably self-conscious about how their belly button will look in a bikini or how it will look pierced or decorated with some form of body jewelry. Most of them are just plain weird, but that’s why you get the cash up front.
