For many years this “Desert Dweller” aka Andrew has been in the metal scene as a musician and as a concert promoter. In this episode, “Desert Dweller” shares a before and after experience of the Vinom Piast; a show that highlights mostly Native bands local and non-local. Bringing Vinom Piast (metal party) to his own community was a way to bring the sounds of distortion, intricate guitar work, and blast beats to highlight the talent of this genre that oftentimes gets dismissed and is misunderstood by the greater public. He also shares his perspective about “Rez Metal” and how many natives find this style of music to be a representation of themselves. Many people may be resistant to embrace metal music and the culture, but growing up on the rez, there’s always that one metal head auntie, uncle, cousin, or parent that unknowingly introduces this style of music to the next generation of rez kids!
