About the author
Laurence Faure
Laurence fell into hard rock quite a few years ago. But based on the principle that “If it’s too loud, you’re too old” and that she always listens to music on 11, she thinks she’s living proof that metal in high doses is a real fountain of youth. Or maybe she’s deaf, but let her dream… After having “religiously” read the French press of the heyday, Laurence joined Hard Rock Magazine as a journalist and editorial secretary, before briefly becoming editor-in-chief. Disembarked and determined to change environment, LF now works in the specialized press (motor sports), but as it is really only metal that makes her little heart beat, when HARD FORCE asked her to join the team at the end of 2013 , she arrived “fast as a shark”.
