As in the past, so is has been since and into the present with Mariu5 still being a well-known fixture in Seattle’s Fetish, BDSM, and Industrial underground niches.
“I might have my roots in playing Industrial, but I enjoy transcending those roots and breaking out of that ‘box’ whenever the situation calls for it.”
