Brian went out to Houston for Hell's Heroes V. It was a badass time seeing Visigoth, Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, Possessed, Night Demon, and many more. Big thanks to Christian and the White Oak Music Hall for the event. If you would like to see my photos from the fest, visit the link below.

Our short tribute to an amazing person. Justin Bartlett was not only an artist who made art for many metal bands like Hooded Menace, Trap Them, and John Carpenter's The Thing. His art has been seen worldwide in the metal world. I was fortunate enough to know Justin personally. We often ran into each other at metal shows, and eventually, we hung out at our local watering hole, and he was often attending the yearly Metal Swap Meet.

If you can, support his funeral expenses.
