Which is probably why metal bands with black leads, especially those originating in Africa are almost never spoken of. It's quite ironic because rock n roll was pioneered by black people, Chuck Berry and Little Richard to name a few. Which then eventually lead to the creation of heavy metal. Though the metal scene in Africa is small, it thrives nevertheless. Here are 10 African Metal Bands you should check out.

Flashback to Living My Dream. Third Place in Flashback Challenge.
Just four short (or really long, depending on how I feel in the moment) months ago I was performing on the Marriott Stage at 11:00 pm on the closing night of The NAMM Show 2020 in Anaheim, CA. It was my biggest show to date, and I can still feel the adrenaline from that night when I think back to it. Coming off of the show, I had momentum like I've never had before, and I was more than ready to keep rolling with the live shows, the travel, and the growing of my music career. Then COVID happened.
