Librarian: Maidenman (Datis Alaee)
I originally hail from Iran. When I was 14, I started attending an American high school in Greece and got hooked on Iron Maiden. For a long while i listened to nothing but Maiden, Sabbath, and Judas Priest. This was the time I needed to hear "The Rime of The Ancient Mariner" in order to go to sleep. After starting college in the US, my horizons were expanded and became familiar with everything I' had missed from the 1980s, and there was plenty! That sort of sustained me for a while but I went through a major dry spell during the 1990s with Grunge and Alternative and since I didn't know anything about the quality European metal, I sank deeper and deeper into the 50 cent sale bins to find something resembling metal. By 2001 I took a hint from the Iron Maiden chat room and introduced myself to "Iced Earth". Then i met my fiance and found out about HammerFall and Startovarius and been trying to play catch-up ever since. Now I have a sizable metal collection consisting of all the albums produced by numerous metal bands. I try to catch a Live show every now and then, if time allows. During the last live show (Kamelot), I discovered a Cleveland area band called "Eternal Legacy" (which was added to the library by Goreripper). I've become friends with this band and my passion for metal has been rejuvenated and gotten stronger.
Now, I'm trying to give exposure to many underground metal bands from Iran who so desperately need to be promoted to get their voices heard.
