Rhiannon Ellis

WRITER
Rhiannon Ellis is a Canterbury-based writer born in the Black Country, the heartland of Heavy Metal. With a background in philosophy and a lifelong obsession with all things loud, she blends her passion and curiosity, digging deep into the stories, riffs, and chaos that make Metal what it is.

A proud music nerd, Rhiannon will give anything a spin - the stranger, the better - but Doom is her true sonic home. From the moment Electric Wizard's Funeralopolis hit her ears as a teenager, she was hooked.

When she is not hammering out words, she is behind a merch stand, chasing gigs in new cities, or at home, bass in hand - buried in a Terry Pratchett novel, chain-weaving jewellery - or absorbed in yet another Star Trek marathon.
