Who is Heavy Metal Drill?

Hi!
I’m Anika Bonny (also known as Heavy Metal Drill) and I love beer, heavy metal and games! <3
Retro, indie, AAA… whatever it is, if it catches my attention, I’ll give it a try.

Back in 2018 I created a blog called Nerd Trash, and it stayed alive until the end of 2024. After a full year on hiatus (pretty much all of 2025), I decided to shut that blog down and rebrand it as this one. The main reason? Language. Writing in Portuguese limited me to people who only speak Portuguese, and I wanted to reach more gamers to share my thoughts, recommendations and guides.

I write honest reviews for everything I play (or almost everything). Some games I beat fast, others take me ages, so my posting schedule is all over the place. I’m not trying to turn this into a big gaming portal, I just want to write at my own pace and be real about it.

All screenshots come from my own gameplay. I speak English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and a bit of Japanese. I use games to practice languages, so you’ll see screenshots in different languages.

Hope you enjoy the blog and discover something that fits your taste! 🙂

You can support me!

If you like the content I create and want to help me keep the site running, you can support me on Ko-fi.

It’s a simple way to fuel my gaming marathons, late-night reviews, and the ridiculous amount of beer coffee required to write about retro weirdness, indie surprises, and all those boring, look-alike AAAs.
Every little bit helps and means a lot. Thanks for considering it! 🎮✨
