"Metal is a genre largely misunderstood (and even feared) by many; the dark, often heavily-tattooed and pierced looks and anguished roars that define the scene can be a lot to handle. But in a place like Reykjavík, it’s a necessary outlet for creatives whose lives exist at the mercy of an environment far beyond their control."

The members of metal band Une Misère: Þorsteinn Gunnar Friðriksson, Fannar Már Oddsson, Gunnar Ingi Jonesson, Benjamín Bent Árnason, and Jón Már Ásbjörnsson.
