We are thrilled to announce that the Albumism family is expanding once again with the addition of Chris Powers. Chris brings a fresh and impassioned perspective to our team, and our readers are sure to enjoy his musings across a variety of musical styles and genres. We’re excited to read much more from Chris in the future, and encourage our readers to check out his debut article, a wonderful retrospective tribute to Metallica’s debut album Kill ‘Em All (1983) in conjunction with its 35th anniversary.
More about Chris:
Chris lives for the thrill of exciting and dangerous music. A former east coaster who's now a west coaster, Chris has been avidly following new music since the days he spent camped over his boombox to make countless mixtapes. While punk and metal are the sounds that excite him the most, Chris has an unyielding soft spot for country, R&B, and hip-hop. He became a music writer to spread the love he feels from listening to his favorite songs, and honestly, he's pretty decent at it. Give him an ear to gush about his favorite songs from Japan, and he'll probably become your best friend. Ingenious and ingobernable. Follow Chris on Twitter via @ChrisCrash00
