Morbid Mario’s metal journey began at age 12 in 1982 with AC/DC as his gateway band. He quickly graduated to heavier acts like Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motörhead, and Saxon. Soon, he was a metal tyrant, buying albums based solely on their cover art and diving into bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Dark Angel. Now, with over 40 years of metal under his belt, Morbid Mario continues to attend shows, travel to festivals, and support bands that meet his uncompromising, elitist standards.
