With him and I being the duo that founded Katatonia almost 35 years ago, and owing to the fact that we managed to take our mission this far, it’s inevitable that our band’s legacy will continue to play a huge role for both of us and always live on, albeit in a different light either captured by our past, future or the many chapters in between.

Today is “International Women’s Day” and since I saw numerous posts focusing on some sensational female Metal and Rock singers I decided to do something similar here on the PiercingMetal website. Since our debut as an online magazine, I’ve witnessed some true powerhouses rule the stages of New York City and sometimes beyond. After digitally leafing through folder after folder I was able to fashion what I think is a great representation of some of Heavy Metal’s greatest ladies. The photos are filed alphabetically and no one pictured below should find you scratching your head. As time permits I’ll add in more text but for now please enjoy the photos. They were all taken by me from across a numerous span of years at a wide number of venues in our region. Enjoy.

The Statement:
Exciting news! Five Points Fest is shaking it up! Since 2017, Five Points Fest has been the beating heart of Designer Toys, indie art, weird monsters, and underground culture in the U.S. Brought to life by Clutter Magazine, we’ve always been the antidote to the average con—a space where tastemakers, misfits, and rebels come together to celebrate creativity without limits.
At the core of our Five Points spirit is the desire to innovate… to be the first Art Toy con to have a beer garden, the first to have a tattoo parlor, then the first to have artist-label beer cans and built-in con exclusive toys for the VIPS… we have always tried to think about Five Points Fest as a place where we would want to go, to have it be the party we wish we could attend.
But now, we’re taking it even further—and getting a breath of fresh air!
