My Life In Fandom: Razorfist Presents "Metal Mythos: SAXON"

Razorfist did two things over the last decade to get him the audience he now enjoys. The first are his rants. The second are his reviews/retrospectives. The Metal Mythos series is the most ambitious of the latter, and here's the latest: Saxon.

That runtime should tell you why it took so long for this to get done. He had to find the video clips and audio files, do the historical research, put down the timeline of events, and then write and record the script. These are not trivial things for an hour-plus video like this, and he had other things requiring his attention to manage in the meantime.

This is him, with at most two others helping, doing serious work that would've been on MTV or VH1 back in the day and releasing it on YouTube. We live in an age where we are spoiled for quality content, despite it being in a vast ocean of offal online. Take the time to give this a watch, and spread it around to your metalhead friends. Let them know that this is what you can do these days given the resources now available.
