The melodeath metal band Insomnium didn't act in the Covid pandemy, because their guitarrist was working in the creation of vaccines.

it's fucked up the number of amazingly talented metal musicians who have to keep down day jobs... mostly in stem.

shoutout to the tech death guys specifically, who keep being in programming.

Have to? Many metalheads are dorks and want to do these gigs.

I almost had that path, except I had almost abandoned playing the guitar one time due to a multitude of reasons, and haven't fully recovered since. Now I work as a desk clerk so I can chase my gamedev ambitions, could not find a better one due to discrimination against me.

Insomnium is one of my most favorite bands, but certainly its hard for an nordic Metalband in a country where are at least 5-6 good Metalbands in every little village.
