I bought the debut KISS record on my 10th birthday in 1974. That was the beginning of the end, so to speak. I began my journalism career in high school, writing music reviews for the school paper. Years later, I would begin writing for a local music magazine in San Francisco, and eventually become its editor. In 2008, I started writing for and eventually bought Metalholic Magazine, and a decade later I have merged it into Metal Nation. Now you're all screwed =) United We Rock!

Rustyn’s Top 10 Hard Rock and Metal Albums of 2020

Rustyn Rose Dec 5, 2020 0
It seems like we reach this point every year and we say, I can’t believe another year has gone by so quickly. That’s clearly rubbish in 2020. This year has gone by with the traumatizing pain and sluggishness of a root canal without…
