   Brian Fischer-Giffin's Blurbs
About me:

I am a writer and musicologist from the Blue Mountains. In the mid to late 90s I was a music reviewer for On the Street and Loudmouth magazines. Currently I write for Pyromusic and am the editor and publisher of Loud Australia Magazine.

My Australian Metal Guide website is a wiki-based site located here: Ausmetalguide.com. Others can contribute and keep it current and useful.

I am also the chief editor of Librarius Metallicus.com. I have written liner notes for the Alchemist retrospective Embryonics, the Chatterbox Records compilation album Under the Southern Cross and for a forthcoming Armoured Angel retrospective CD. In 2006, I released the CD The Art of Shredding: A Tribute to Dime on my label DarkStar Records. The CD features 13 Aussie band paying tribute to the Dime.

I have been involved in community broadcasting since 1993, at first with BFM in south-west Sydney where I presented the late-night music program LOUD! until 2004. In 2004, I moved to BLU FM in the mountains. My metal show The Annex airs at 10pm AET every Friday. You can hear it streaming live from blufm.org.au

I am married to Xena and we have a daughter Jazynthe, a son Jaedyn, a dog, a black cat and four chooks! I also have an older daughter Skye.
