For this week's look at arts and culture, we take you to Laurel County's Mountain View Farm.

The venue got very loud earlier this month as it hosted the fourth Holler of Doom Festival, a rare gathering for Appalachians metal fans and bands to come together and bang their heads.

More into tonight's Tapestry segments.

Oh ten Oh no.

Lots of music that is very popular is fostered and cared for here, bluegrass, especially mountain music.

But something that is not really fostered or looked after.

A welcome to any degree is heavy metal and heavy, heavy metal and heavy music in general.

This is the fourth holler of Doom and it's just a fantastic representation of art from the area and musicians from around of like mountain nature.

Kentucky has a deep, rich metal scene like it.

It stretches from Louisville to Whitesburg.

We got the band from Whitesburg, We got bands from Louisville brought in from France, from Columbus, Ohio, Akron, Ohio, Johnson City, Tennessee and stuff.

So like the region is rich with it to the.

Southeast and eastern Kentucky, all of Kentucky, really.

But our area here in southeast Kentucky is so rich with amazing artists that have no platform and no way to get their stuff out there.

It's really you know, it's really a crime because only things that do get out are what we're traditionally known for is, you know, country music and, you know, bluegrass music, which is all well and good.

We love those things.

But there's other voices in these mountains that need to be heard and heavy voices is that's the emotion.

That's the side of the human persona that is heavy.

That is the real deal.

People usually associate heavy metal with a bad thing because we're always trying to, you know, express ourselves in a heavy manner because we can't go out in the real world of scream and holler each other and no way to be a great band.

Have so many people that have an outlet that has the stuff inside of them.

And so with Holler of Doom and everything, it gives people a nice, healthy outlet to where they feel free to express their art and express themselves in a manner that you can't do in normal society.

It's one of the few genres of music where there's still like a bit of an allegiance thing that if you love it, you got a family somewhere.

We got people coming from all of the country to come here to see this.

And like last year that we had five or six days represent as far as attendees.

Any time you get to do something this cool, that means a lot to a lot of people because all my bands that I brought on that have come on to do this have gotten really behind the system.

It's a beautiful thing to watch everybody get together and truly make this a special thing as possible.

Like I said, I've had some magical moments in my life and it's good to do it in the name of, you know, metal just being loud.

It's a beautiful thing.

Metal heads are welcome to return to Mountain View Farm in October for the Mountains of Metal Festival.
