About Us

Metalhead Community is an independent media platform focusing on music, arts, and cinema, alongside rock and metal culture, established by Burak Gundogdu on June 8th, 2016 in Odesa, Ukraine. As a music enthusiast and artist, he has steered the platform to become a key tastemaker in the metal music industry internationally, garnering a respected following. It's committed to showcasing local music scenes, cultures, and emerging acts globally.

"On the day June 8th, 2016, it was me looking for answers after committing myself fully to music, and coming to the conclusion that it is only possible when a few individuals with the necessary artistic vision, skill, and dedication come together and handle separate fundamental tasks to sustain a career as a band. If one simply can't be the drummer and the guitarist in one band at the same time, then I had to become the sound engineer or the media person that's always needed." - Burak Gundogdu

In 2024, Gundogdu, alongside longtime friend and collaborator Ilkercan Kandur, launched Killmister, a vintage-inspired custom merchandise store aimed at musicians and rebels, marking a new chapter in their commitment to these vibrant cultures.
