I am Erin Metal from Southern Colorado.  I am a writer, musician, and artist.  I’ve been working solo on Metal Valkyrie reviews since 2012.  I also stream on Twitch from time to time.  I have Ataxic Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, a neurological disorder from a birth defect. I have been reviewing bands since 2010 working with SignMeTo Roadrunner Records, Napalm Records, Spinefarm, and many more.  I play bass, guitar, drums, piano, and program music as well.  I like to bike, hike, lift weights, bird watch, paint, do photography, collect Gi Joes, Play video games, Sing, and write short stories.  Metal is my life, I’m just trying to share it with others and meet like minded individuals.  Concerts are my number one favorite thing to do, and I plan to go to more after I move.
