On this episode of Art Bazaar we chat with Paul Caravasi, owner of Soulgrinder Zine, a magazine founded in 2013 that's dedicated to the underground heavy metal scene.
Paul's been hosting a series of music shows at the Alternative Gallery since 2018 called Metal Assault, which are typically held bi-monthly.
Recently, Soulgrinder also launched a record label which releases independent metal bands.
