Maestro of Mayhem

Art is an explosion, music is metal. Bards who choose to delve into the powerful and destructive forces that is heavy metal and rock music are labelled as Maestros of Mayhem. Whether they followed other well known troupes, created the style themselves, or given a revelation, they all wield musical energies fueled by power and emotion.

While some my seem to be misunderstood, or believed to be mistaken for warlocks, or having made pacts with the great evils. Maestros of Mayhem command magics and power by sheer force of will and their musical talents.
