Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The annual Deathfest took place in Maryland earlier this year, where the circle pit was dominated by a toddler in a cut-off shirt.

The metalhead in the making ran around bumping into adults during Atrophy’s set, before later coming back for more during Impaled Nazarene’s performance.

Metal Injection shot the videos of the kid (who apparently was wearing ear plugs, don’t worry) and it has since seen over 300,000 views on Facebook.

Atrophy were delighted with their new fan, writing: “Please spread this post to all of your friends. Who's child is this? We would like to give this young thrasher his very own atrophy tee shirt and some autographed pictures! If anybody could get us in contact with his parents.”

In addition to toddlers, it was recently revealed that death metal attacts sharks.
