It was fantastic being a part of the first Ultimate Insider Genre conference organised by UCL Music Futures and Daniel Lukes (Black Metal Rainbows). A huge thank you to the hosts for inviting me and for organising the event.

It was wonderful to be a part of the first Heavy Metal on the Airwaves Symposium and have the opportunity to share my paper ‘Cultivating Subculture in Virtual Spaces: The Importance of Online Radio for Underground Metal’. The day was filled with so many wonderful papers, and spending the evening at the Show No Mersey showcase was a perfect way to end a day of metal!
