Alexandra Crockett: Metal Cats looks at the relationship between metalheads and their cats.

As a teenager, Alexandra Crockett was a fan of metal music. She said she originally got into Swedish death metal, Norwegian black metal, and East Coast death metal because “it was fast and extreme,” as well as some doom metal and thrash from the Pacific Northwest.  Today, she’s getting a doctorate at a clinical psychology program in the San Francisco Bay Area with an emphasis on social justice and advocating. Sandwiched in between her studies she photographed 115 metalheads with their cats for a book titled Metal Cats, published by Powerhouse with a release date of May 6.
