Heavy metal festival raises funds for MMIW
Music can be fun, but it can also provide a purpose and help spread a message.
That’s exactly what it did during the “United Through Metal” mini-festival that was held May 19 at the Navajo Technical University in Crownpoint. The festival aims to spread awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women by showcasing heavy metal bands.
The bands who participated in the festival were “Wicked Meadows,” “War Motor,” “Testify,” “Hell Throne” and “Mutilated Tyrant.”
It cost $10 to get into the show, and the proceeds were split between MMIW and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women USA.
