FeNyX42
Founder & Editor
Tyson (FeNyX42) is the founder of Metal Mantra and has been deep in the heavy music scene for over three decades — from the Bay Area underground to stages and festivals across the country. He built Metal Mantra because the scene deserves coverage that actually comes from inside it: real news from real working bands, from rising metalcore acts to legendary artists still pushing the genre.
Metal Mantra covers tours, new releases, reviews, and live reporting with the same energy the music demands. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning, the Metal Rundown drops the biggest stories in heavy music so you never miss what happened.
When he’s not publishing, Tyson runs bl3gh, a creative brand producing custom apparel, vinyl stickers, and 3D-printed goods inspired by heavy music culture.
