Heavy Metal Food celebrated its first anniversary yesterday. One year of interviews, columns, recipes, militant videos and daily posts on Facebook. Thank you for your fidelity. You’ve given the lie to those who didn’t believe in it and, through your comments, you’ve undermined the many prejudices we remain the victims of.
During my interviews, I’m always surprised by what my guests tell me. Their lucid approach to their lifestyle and the honesty of their confidences are a great source of satisfaction to me. Because it’s not always easy for me to convince the youngest among you that eating healthy is highly important, and that being addicted to junk food, drugs and alcohol is a dangerous thing. The fact that all these musicians we admire confirm what Heavy Metal Food is trying to teach is a precious support. “Don’t fall for extremes. Don’t stint yourselves, but with moderation”, as Seth (vocals) from Septic Flesh says in the following interview. “Don’t fall into a kind the inevitable routine and temptations” life on tour is strewn with, as drummer Fotis insists.
I realize that food is a formidable way to get closer, to convey life and love. So I would like to wish you all an happy new year with your family, gathered around a good meal you will have cooked with passion.
Peace.
Stay Hungry. Stay Metal.
