About Rattlehead

Hi, Rattlehead here. I'm from India, and I'm obsessed with metal of all sub-genres but mostly into thrash and death. I also love other genres, like jazz, funk, rock, some punk, a bit of blues, some country, but well, metal is where I feel at home. I'm always on the run discovering new music. Fanboying Megadeth since I was 13. Love to talk about metal, sports and a little bit of everything here and there. I also love dissing your god, I love food, seeing metal gigs, traveling and also a metal merch and record collector. I hope you like what I write and the music I suggest you. Please do share if you like. Cheers and stay heavy \m/

REBEL RAMPAGE Highlights Victims Of Climate Change In New Video, “Scorched Earth”

Not everyday you come across bands that sing about grave topics like climate change, environmental protection etc. GOJIRA did roll the ball when it came to environmental subjects, so much so that they were heralded as “eco-metallers”, just another sub genre in the palette. Like wise, today we have another fresh, new and young band from Los Angeles, by the name of REBEL RAMPAGE, who are singing along the same lines.
