Rhys Tagg is a music enthusiast passionate about rock and Heavy Metal. Based in London, Rhys is constantly on the lookout for the next exhilarating live performance.

In addition to his love for music, Rhys has a deep interest in horror and true crime and enjoys football. Although relatively new to the published writing sphere, Rhys will be contributing reviews and insight into the music scene here at MetalTalk.
