AZGIRATH - THE METAL STATUE (PROJECT)

I am Azgirath (Creator of The Metal Statue & Stoa Metal) and I'm the First Living Metal Statue Worldwide (Metal Scene). This project started from the streets (2021), and Metal was the main inspiration behind this. Azgirath is my Artist name and the name for this figure. Later, I also added a title (The Metal Statue) to clearly define what it represents. Before this, the title did not exist. There was no figure known as The Metal Statue, no defined presence within the metal scene that merged performance, identity, and symbolism in this way. Entering this role meant facing uncertainty, resistance, and personal struggle. Being The Metal Statue is both a burden and a privilege. It places me within the metal scene not only as an artist, but as a symbol, standing for artistic freedom, courage, and expression.

Extreme Metal started in the early 80s from bands like Celtic Frost, Venom, Bathory, Mayhem, and someday I wanted to create something for the Scene as well. It's called Stoa Metal or Stoic Metal Performance Art and it's based on the Art itself. It might be paradox for some because this is not about music or being in a band, it's about Silence. And whether the people like it or not, it doesn't matter. Everyone has his own view when it comes to Art. I created this project because the scene should get the opportunity to see Metal in a different way and to realize it's more than Music, it's much deeper than you think.
