D.V.F. is the founder co- lead singer/guitarist of the Christian Metal/Rock band, SozoRox. I am currently mixing our new CD, Renewed Existence. Ty Tabor of King's X, Jelly Jam fame, will be mastering it. All the songs posted on this profile are tunes I have built up from random riffs and songs I have had sitting on my PC for the past 4 years. Just taking time to finish them for the masses to hear! Please visit facebook.com/sozoroxstl, reverbnation.com/sozorox, sozorox.com to hear and see Sozorox in action.
