Background and work

Brian Manowitz was born in Tampa , Florida to Jewish parents . He studied biopsychology in Gainesville and after graduating went to Orlando , where he still lives today.

In 2011, Manowitz, a vegan since around 2000, began preparing vegan recipes under the pseudonym Vegan Black Metal Chef in videos that he shared on YouTube. The very first video, the preparation of a vegan Pad Thai , was very successful and was viewed over a million times in the first week. Since then he has regularly produced similar videos and made them available on YouTube. With his videos, the vegan black metal boss also caused a sensation in the international press. The Washington Post and Wired covered him back in 2011 when his first video became a hit on YouTube. The British daily The Guardian presented Manowitz in a 2014 article together with other musicians who cook online and publish videos about it, including Coolio , Kelis and the frontman of the Indian metal band Demonic Resurrection Sahil Makhija with his show Headbanger's Kitchen . Vegan Black Metal Chef is referred to as "smash hit internet TV programs based on a bonkers but brilliant idea".

Manowitz is a musician in his own Industrial - black metal -Soloprojekt Forever Dawn and in the gothic metal active band Fields of Glass. Forever Dawn was started by him in 2004, in 2005 he recorded a demo album under the title Victory . Fields of Glass released the album Origin in 2010 . In 2014 he released the Forever Dawn album The Long Journey Home , which he produced himself and which he makes available for free download on his bandcamp website.

In 2015 Brian Manowitz published a cookbook with vegan recipes under the title The Seitanic SpellBook and started a funding campaign on Kickstarter.com to film the recipes for YouTube. The targeted amount of US $ 36,000 was already well exceeded before the end of the campaign, totaling over US $ 70,000.
