Kris
“Music has always been an essential part of my life, and I have a deep appreciation for various bands and musical genres that span the spectrum outside of rock/metal, rock and metal music. Movies have also been a significant part of my life, and I have a profound affinity for horror and cult classics. Among my favourite movies are The Wicker Man, The Crow, The Thing, Predator, Highlander, Alien/Aliens, and many more. The passioned music I love is extreme metal and black metal” — for me, “black metal and horror movies are my world”.
Gemma
“I have a great passion for music and enjoy various genres. Among my favourites are The Raven Age, Amon Amarth, and Lordi, as well as movies such as V For Vendetta, The Crow, The Wicker Man, and Ghibli Studios. When not listening to music or watching films, I combine my passion for music and art by sketching while listening to my favourite bands. My interests go beyond music and art. I find witchcraft fascinating and enjoy reading about its history and practices. Viking and Pagan cultures also intrigue me”.
Our Format
Athenaeum Of Sin stands out with its unique review system, “The Seven Sins Of Metal” or “7/Seven Sins.” Unlike traditional scoring, this system provides a comprehensive music analysis, avoiding unfair or misleading judgments. We thank the Australian death metal band Aetherial for inspiring/coining our format.
