It’s at times like this when I want to remember the words of Joakim Brodén, lead singer of Sabaton, at the Nightwish show I went to last year. He had just tossed his sunglasses up to the balcony, to a little girl who was attending her first metal concert. What he said, to the approving roar of the crowd, was “Heavy metal is for everyone!”

Rock on, Shannon. \m/
