About Metal Relixx Expo
The Story Behind the Expo
Metal Relixx Expo was born from the minds of Harald Oimoen and Tambre Bryant—better known together as Millie & Billie Productions—two lifelong metalheads dedicated to preserving and celebrating heavy metal history and culture.
What started as an idea between friends quickly evolved into a full-throttle annual Metal Memorabilia Expo—a gathering place for fans, collectors, and legends alike. The event features everything a true metal fan could ask for: an epic swap meet packed with rare vinyl, shirts, posters, instruments, and artifacts; live entertainment throughout the day; panels and discussions with musicians and industry icons; meet & greets with metal legends; an online auction of exclusive collectibles; and even a Metal Kids’ Zone to inspire the next generation of headbangers.
Metal Relixx Expo isn’t just an event—it’s a celebration of the spirit, history, and community of heavy metal. Whether you come to buy, sell, learn, or just bang your head, you’re part of the Relixx.
