The Heavy Historian aims to educate people on Heavy Metal music outside of the western world! Its my aim to get more eastern bands into the limelight and get more people understanding their personal histories and listening to their music. They have unique histories, being influences by situations created by war tensions, political unrest and religious bigotry. United we can create a truly metal world!
