Metal Sam

4m 58s

For 21 year old 'Metal Sam' music is freedom. A native of Afghanistan, he and his family were in Kabul during the Taliban takeover. Forced into worry and fear - he threw away his guitar which was seen as supportive to western culture. Now, two years later, his family have found their way to a better life in New Haven, CT, where Metal Sam has re-established his true passion of playing metal guitar.
