The Art Revolution Podcast welcomes Edgar Castro for episode 21. He started photography in high school and recently has toured the world with the metal band Death Angel capturing the band’s shows through his lens and honing his unique, signature style. Growing up a musician, and even touring the country with a thrash band out of high school, Castro polished his chops as a bassist and vocalist on the road. He then joined Goreskin Coffin, a Ukiah based Black Death Metal, Grind band where he plays bass, after studying music at Mendocino College for a few years. Working as a barista at Black Oak Coffee and a bartender, Edgar decided to show his tile artwork at The Lot on Main gaining confidence in the process and parlaying his artistic eye into the world of photography beginning his journey as a professional photographer. He has since become one of the premier videographers and photographers in the metal scene and continues to spread his wings working as a photographer at The AfterShock Festival prowling the pit and earning a reputation with his unique eye and getting the shot no matter the chaos surrounding him. We were blessed to sit down with this up and coming talent and hear his origin story from his humble beginnings in Ukiah.
