User:Fiend Arts

Fiend Arts is a project name attributed to the individual charged with responsibility to increase visibility of an African-based community of heavy metal music enthusiasts. This community includes musicians across the continent, a general support base, and specialized professional service providers. In some countries such as South Africa, Kenya and Egypt, these communities are known to consist of several thousand people, with the continental community being represented by several tens of thousands.

The need for documenting of activities pertaining to heavy metal music subculture in the territories of Africa is deemed as arisen from the growing number of academic inquiry received via the website of an organization recognized by the name of Metal4Africa. Such inquiries come particularly from students of Anthropology and sociology, and the majority of inquiries originating from the USA

Whilst most of the work done, whether as Wikipedian or other, is voluntary; Fiend Arts can be regarded at times as a paid editor on behalf of Metal4Africa.
