Supervillain.

Writer, metal ambassador, poet, metalhead, rock critic, geek, gamer, gourmand, sadomasochist, feminist.

I'm the author of DOOM: Love Poems for Supervillains (Insomniac Press, 2012) and Thumbscrews (Snare Books, 2007).

I live, write, and wreak havoc in Toronto, ON. Once a scholarly, bookish young woman, I now spend my time permanently damaging my liver and my hearing. I write for Toronto Standard, Hellbound.ca, This Is Not A Scene, Angry Metal Guy, About Heavy Metal and Exclaim!. I am also the Managing Editor of Canada Arts Connect Magazine, and the Review Editor for This Magazine. I write poetry about S&M, gastroporn, comic books, video games, and heavy metal. I am also the Wordsmith and Promotions Wizard behind Golden Spruce Entertainment. I live in a beach cave with three psycho jungle cats and a Bearshark.

Metal is catharsis, metal is flooring it to “Love Me Like a Reptile” on an open highway, metal is a flailing mosh pit-punch to the eye (and the killer shiner afterward) and, when in the throng of tens or thousands of headbangers, metal is where I find my brothers and sisters, horns up and ready to scream bloody gore. — Lars Gotrich

Meet four people who headbanged and high-fived at Maryland Deathfest.

Ladies, imagine being a Vice writer. Just walking around everywhere with your entitlement and ennui and midlength penis all gently bouncing in step; wearing a male tank top or a waxed mustache or some shit. Imagine having an ironic, retro-sexist dudebro-voice and getting together with a couple of other white guys and some cocaine and making your not-at-all-different voices all sync up as tautly as your nihilistic senses of humor, then snuggling all up together (no homo!) in a big Bushwick loft of partially employed trust-fund kids while something noninformative is happening on the Internet. What a life. I guess there’s the whole “everyone in the world thinks I’m an asshole” thing to deal with, too, but let’s not split hairs here: Vice writers got it pretty fucking made.

Maryland Deathfest Portrait, No. 8: Meet YOB’s Mike Scheidt from Eugene, Oregon. The band’s thunderously meditative set at MDF was a personal highlight for me, inspiring ecstatic full-body motion something like a decibel baptism. For Mike, he doesn’t think YOB’s musically spiritual overtones are necessarily new, just more inclusive.

“The heart in [metal] is so sincere,” says Scheidt. “Nobody has any illusion of it being any better than this right now.”

Headbanging: It can be done at any time.

Girl vs. Whale: 8 Reasons Why You SHOULDN'T Date a Fucking Writer*

girlvswhale:

You will spend a lot of time alone or in the same room/house with someone who is very consumed with what they are doing and will not want to talk to you. That is until they need to read you a sentence/paragraph/chapter/entire story to see if it makes sense; until they need your help figuring out…
