On a mission for metal

Metalityheads visiting the Hand of Blood team in Spandau. 

Streamer HandOfBlood, aka Hänno, recently founded the metal label Corrupted Blood. We spoke with his team from the agency Instinct3 about awareness at metal events and discovered numerous points of connection for synergy between Metality and Corrupted Blood – stay tuned!  

The MTL editorial team from Magenta TV also happened to be there, so Jan and Nico from the backline were able to give a short on-camera interview about the awesome things we Metalityheads put on. You can find the interview in episode 3 of the third season of MTL. Here's the link to the latest episode: MTL Season 3 Episode 3: Hypocrisy

When Christmas gets too intense…  

A peaceful Christmas season? Let's be honest – the holidays can sometimes be quite challenging. A multitude of emotions (both positive and negative), differing expectations, social obligations: especially for people with depression, these factors can intensify feelings of being overwhelmed, lonely, or vulnerable. But: no one has to go through this time alone; support is available!

Our Christmas raffle XMAYHEM offers more than socks and ties: there are CDs, vinyl records, T-shirts, patches, books and more from artists who support Metality. Big Horns To all donors!

Family dream W:O:A – Liam’s way to Wacken

Hello, we are:

Olli (43, train driver in public transport), Sarah (42, special needs teacher) and Liam (13, student), our eldest son Tom (21) is already going his own way.

Liam has a genetic defect, partial trisomy 9. This means that part of the ninth chromosome is present in the body's cells in addition to the normal set of chromosomes. In his case, this is the case as a mosaic in around 80% of the cells and manifests itself in mental disability, visual and walking impairments, and a speech disorder.

Afterwards we can party until breakfast with DJ BatBoy from Ballroom Hamburg (known from the “Metal Place” at Wacken Open Air).
