Hey everyone! Not sure who is really keeping up with my music, but I am making slow progress, haha. I have been incredibly busy lately, and just have had a packed schedule, barring me from my writing duties. However, I am slowly but surely getting some time back, so here is an update on what is going on!

- I am working with the music for "Incalescence" right now to find a way to have more subtle cadences within the piece. Also, the current copy has some crazy keys going on (multiple guitar tunings that eluded me in the process of writing), so I am going to straighten that out. Once I do that, expect live guitar and bass going on!

- I am working on a new project, which is another video game remix. I do not want to reveal what game it is though until I have releasable material. Though, I will say that this one is going to be an aggressive black metal piece in the vain of Immortal or so, so do not be expecting keyboard work in this one!

- Finally, I have been doing some original compositions. They range from varied styles, though are not metal at all (far from it actually). However, I have a variety of musical interests, and I hope that some people can appreciate the different genres of music and atleast give them a listen once they arrive.

In any case, thank you guys for visiting my site and giving my music a listen! More works will be appearing on here over time, and I hope you all enjoy it!

Thanks again,
Eradicate

Well, this stuff is basically just my own created material. I usually write metal music, though I'm a big fan of a variety of styles. I believe that fans of black metal will find my music most appealing, though I try to have enough various influences to let anyone enjoy it.
Why this name?
I just like the name Eradicate.
Do you play live?
Not anymore, though I used to in previous bands. My most special moment came from a recent piano recital though, where quite a few people were "moved" by the song I played. Also, some little kids have been telling their parents that they want to play just like me someday, and that was incredibly special to me.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It lets artists (like myself) expose their creative works to the masses in a much easier manner then signing onto a major label and then having to get promotion and all of that stuff. If a good medium between music exchange and legality was established, I believe that it would have a very positive effect on the music industry.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Maybe, depending on the label and what other sorts of acts they have.
Band History:
Just basically have been doing this stuff by myself for a while.
Your influences?
My main musical influences come from black metal and classical, and generally the more melodic spectrum of metal. For the sake of comparison though, fans of Opeth, Immortal, Nightwish, etc. should find my music fairly pleasing I think.
Favorite spot?
That I've been to: Williamsburg. That I would want to go to: either Europe or Japan.
Equipment used:
Since I synth enough portion of my music, I'll include that in here. I use a Creative Audigy Platinum card and a Roland XP-30, and I have a fair collection of soundfonts, though only for odd instruments and effects not on hand on the XP-30. I've also got a collection of instruments at hand I can play, including an Ibanez and Washburn bass, Fender and Jackson electric guitars, Takamine acoustic guitar, Roland KR-570 electronic piano, and a Conn 88HY C.L. model trombone (though doubtful ever to it's use in metal, haha).
Anything else...?
I thank you all for stopping by and checking out my work. Thank you, and be sure to come by again!
