I believe music is not only a sound, but a feeling. The first time I heard a guitar riff as a kid, I knew it wasn't just a sound I immediately loved but a compass that would guide my passions in life. Fast forward to now, twenty-some years later, and that small hunch I had was exactly right. I've spent the last five years getting to know my favorite musicians, but also witnessing incredible live displays of musical prowess and power, the kind only heavy music can bring about. I musyc because it expresses exactly what I'm feeling at any given time and guides me through the darkest times. It's always there for me.

Matthew Powers is a 23 year old music journalist from the small town of Ferdinand, Indiana. He is best known as one of the original writers and album reviewers for California-based live performance page CaliberTV and recently, for gaining steam through his work with MetalWani worldwide and Florida's The New Fury. Through his love for metal, he has networked with several webpages, thousands of music lovers from all over the world, interviewed members of Soilwork, Lacuna Coil, Miss May I, As I Lay Dying, All Shall Perish and Trivium as well as spilled his thoughts on hundreds of albums of varying genres. Powers also works with up-and-coming bands, frequently helping them to get their music known. His other passions include animals, video games, traveling, theme parks and being a Disney fanatic.
