Demi.
Extreme metal, vampires & Hello Kitty
Meet Demi — the Ireland-based model who sews her own band patches, only wears black, and keeps a giant Hello Kitty plush at home. We sent over our questions and she sent back exactly the kind of answers we hoped for.
Music has always been a huge part of my life. My favourite genre is metal — mainly extreme, black and thrash. Warbringer are one of my favourite bands, as well as Hellripper and Spectral Wound.
Hellripper released a new album recently called Coronach, so I've been listening to that lots. I even went to the album release show.

I love horror. I have liked spooky things since I was a child and used to read Goosebumps. My mum loves horror too and let me start watching them with her since I was 12. One of the first horror films I watched was A Nightmare on Elm Street and it is still a favourite of mine.
Vampires are something I have loved since being a child. There's just something about them that I am drawn to.
I don't play games very often anymore, but when I was younger my brother and I used to play them all the time. One of the games we played loads was Guitar Hero.
I chose the Vampire Kiss T-shirt design since I love vampires, and the Stave Church design because the famous church burnings were an iconic moment in black metal history.
As I already mentioned, I love listening to music and watching horror films. I like going to gigs too. Besides that, I like doing anything crafty, such as sewing or painting my own band patches. I'm also qualified as a beautician and nail technician, and I like to do my own gel nails.

I love cute things like Hello Kitty and I have lots of plushies. I even have a giant Hello Kitty plush that my parents surprised me with one Christmas. I only wear black clothes, but my favourite colour is actually pink — but that probably isn't unexpected because of my hair.
I played the possessed girl in the music video for Possessed by Mourning of the Heretic. I had so much fun at the shoot and would love for people to check out the video on YouTube.
