Joshua (JP) Wood
Life-long metal enthusiast and trivia hound, Joshua Wood entered the metal market in 1999 with the creation of Metal Mental Meltdown, the world's first Heavy Metal trivia board game. Very shortly after, he became co-host of Megawatt Mayhem, one of the world's longest running Metal radio shows.
Joshua is also the official Canadian contributor for Musicmight.com (formerly Rockdetector) the world's largest Heavy Metal internet database. Joshua has also written hundreds reviews and interviews for local and international newspapers and webzines such as Metal-Rules.com and has contributed to many books on the subject of Heavy Metal.
A tireless and devoted metal fan, he has dabbled in many metal related concerts promotions and events, including movie screenings, organizing a Heavy Metal blood drive, as well as creating and hosting Calgary's only live Metal night which ran for five years. Joshua has amassed a collection of nearly 10,000 albums partly because over the years he was not discriminating enough to weed out most of the junk. Most of it now clogs up his office or gets played on-air every Saturday on Megawatt Mayhem. However, he is still completely jealous of Martin Popoff's collection and continues to bore his friends (and whoever will listen) with useless metal-related trivia and excited tales of purchases of second-hand cassettes by obscure bands no one has heard of in the first place.
