Rowan

General

Screaming my feelings through nu-metal, collecting band tees, eyeliner thick enough to kill a man, and staying up way too late with headphones glued to my skull. I live for concerts, mosh pits, heavy riffs, and that moment when the bass drop feels like therapy. I’m into piercings, tattoos, shredding playlists, horror vibes, late-night convos, dark aesthetics, and people who understand silence. Energy over labels, loyalty over everything. If it’s loud, messy, emotional, or a little unhinged, I’m probably into it.

Music

Nu-metal is my whole personality tbh. Korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park, System of a Down, Mudvayne, Disturbed — the classics that raised me. Modern heavies like Motionless in White, Ice Nine Kills, Bad Omens, Sleep Token, Slaughter to Prevail, & Spiritbox keep me breathing. I live for breakdowns that hit like a truck, riffs that feel like anger therapy, and lyrics that sound like they crawled out of my chest. If it’s dark, emotional, loud, or just straight-up unhinged, it’s probably on my playlist.

Movies

Horror, psychological thrillers, and anything that feels like it crawled out of a metal music video. Slashers, found footage, demon lore, gritty indie films, and stories that mess with your head in the best way. I’m into classics like Saw, The Crow, Resident Evil, Underworld, Scream, The Ring, Sinister, Jeepers Creepers, & Silent Hill. If it’s dark, bloody, chaotic, or emotionally heavy, I’ll probably love it. Bonus points if the soundtrack goes hard.

Television

Anything dark, twisted, or supernatural enough to feel like a metal lyric. I’m into American Horror Story, Supernatural, The Walking Dead, The Vampire Diaries, Stranger Things, Hannibal, Dexter, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, & Teen Wolf. I like shows with monsters, messed-up plot twists, antiheroes, found families, and characters who look like they’ve heard my playlist. If it has chaos, horror, or an aesthetic that screams “nu-metal energy,” I’m in.

Books

Dark romance owns my entire soul. I’m into stories that are twisted, addictive, unhinged, and impossible to put down — the kind that feel like a toxic love song in book form. I devour books like Lights Out, Caught Up, Little Strangers, Satan’s Affair, and anything that mixes obsession, danger, lust, and a little bit of “I’d burn the world for you.” Give me morally gray love interests, forbidden tension, psychological games, and relationships that feel like a slow, sinful breakdown in the best way. If it’s dark, messy, seductive, or makes my heartbeat sync with a metal riff… yeah, I’m into it.

Heroes

Vessel — for turning pain into worship-level art, for proving vulnerability can be powerful and sacred. Chester Bennington — the voice that carried an entire generation through their darkest nights. A legend forever. Chris Motionless — proof that you can be gothic, chaotic, emotional, and still build an empire. Spencer Charnas — the king of horror, theatrics, and turning trauma into storytelling that hits like a knife. Corey Taylor (Slipknot) — a scream, a mask, a movement. The blueprint for raw, unfiltered rage turned into something iconic. These are the voices that raised me, saved me, and shaped the way I breathe music.
