Hi, I’m Anna! As a Content Creator at Impericon, I’m in charge of the editorial management of our online magazine. A born music enthusiast, I combine my passion for writing (usually with a playlist in my ears) with the latest topics from the worlds of rock, metal, core, and entertainment. Personal highlights? All over the place — from Sleep Token and Lorna Shore to Sabaton, with a huge love for anime and fantasy à la Tolkien! When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me at concerts and conventions.
