Hi, I am completely new to Reddit. I have been a Greek Orthodox Christian my entire life. Also, for the majority of my life, I have been into music, specifically guitar-centric music such as rock and metal. I work as a full-time nurse, and I am recently married, as of last year, to my beautiful wife. Also, last year, I decided to spend my spare time teaching myself how to write, record, mix, and release an Orthodox Christian metal album entirely by myself. I have been playing guitar since I was little, and I have always dreamed of making my own album, so creating this was a dream come true for me. At first, I did not know the theme of what my album was going to be, but after much time in prayer, I came to the no-brainer conclusion to write an album about my faith. I write this now, saying that I am no expert in songwriting or producing music, but I am so happy that I took the leap of faith to create this despite the time constraints of work and getting ready for our wedding. Also, I do not know of any Orthodox Christian metal songs, so I figured this would be interesting as well. I wasn't trying to become famous. I just wanted to create something meaningful about my faith and learn the process. If anyone enjoys Christian or metal music, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
