MetalHeadRadio:
I know you guys have some great
metal bands where you live, What
are the metal fans like in Aosta Italy?
High
Voltage:
The Heavy Metal scene in the Aosta
Valley is quite good. Alongside Rage
Storm, our band is the most famous
teenage band here, however, the death
metal band Illogicist is the older, best
and most skillful in this region. Since our
region is very small, each band knows her
fans, who, in actual fact, are our friends.
There are about 2000 people that are
involved in the heavy metal local musical
scene. |
