Founder and editor-in-chief. Thrash is home. Interviews, festivals, live reports, and the final say on what goes in the database.

Founder Thrash Metal Interviews Festivals Live reports

Saint Sylveszter founded KaosMetal and runs it. He does the interviews, covers the festivals and files the live reports, and he signs off on every band, album and rating that enters the database. He has been collecting metal records since before he could legally get into the shows he now reviews, and thrash is where it started and where it stays.

His friends call him Stallone.
