Welcome to Crusty Metallion!

I’m thrilled to launch this blog dedicated to heavy metal music. Built entirely in Rust using the Axum web framework and deployed on Shuttle.dev, this site represents my passion for both metal music and safe, reliable, and performant programming.

What to Expect

Here you’ll find:

• Album Reviews: Deep dives into classic and new metal releases
• Concert Reports: Live show experiences and setlist breakdowns
• Genre Explorations: I frequently ask what the kids are listening to these days, I’ll report out here.
• Music Theory: Understanding what makes metal… metal

Why Rust?

Just like a well-crafted metal riff, Rust code is:

1. Powerful - Zero-cost abstractions and fearless concurrency
2. Precise - The type system catches errors at compile time
3. Heavy - It compiles to native code with no garbage collector

Stay tuned for more content. The volume is about to go up to 11!
