-- Andrew Smith - Hey hey, that's me.
Creator, webmaster, album reviewer, layout designer, content management, bill payer.

BIO INFO: A fan of metal since the age of 10 or so. First albums to be self-recognized as "favorites" were Judas Priest's 'Screaming for Vengeance' and AC/DC's 'Back in Black'; this was back in the mid-80s, and the metal tastes have obviously expanded since then. I've attended countless concerts, and have had the pleasure of conducting interviews with several major-profile bands/artists. I was in a couple of high school bands, banging out noisy metal while driving the neighbors nuts.
A 1996 graduate of NC State University, I hold a BA degree in English Education, and have since added a Master's Degree in Health/PE and Sports Management. I've worked on a couple of non-fiction books at times, but never seriously, though I've been fortunate enough to have had an article published in North Carolina's largest daily newspaper, the Raleigh News and Observer. In addition to being a teacher, my wife and I own a dog kennel and a storage business.
I'm into all genres of metal, though you can never go wrong with pure power...
