This was the first song that I wrote for this project. The vocals were performed by my good friend N8 from a local band by the name of LowCrawl.

Heavy Metal

I have been a drummer in the local metal scene for the past 10 years. I began my freshman year in high school wnd never looked back. By my senior year I was playing shows every weekend and touring from Fresno to Bakersfield. Throughout the years I have shared the stage with many national bands and even more locals. Flash forward to 2012. I hadn't been in a band for 2 years. I almost decided to quit music. Then I see an electric drumset at guitar center and it changed everything. During that years I would be asked to be in a viking metal band and eventually build my own home studio. At the end of October 2012 everything in the studio is set up and ready to start working. I began ideas that would eventually become my first solo album. From October 2012 to June 2013 I wrote, recorded mixed and mastered my album, "Against All Odds". The entire process was a lot of trial and error but I learned a lot about music, recording and myself in those months. While I have no ambitions of playing this material live I do have a drive to move forward. During the writing of "Against All Odds" I had an idea to make an album dealing with mythology. I had been in a viking metal band the previous year and that started something that was never finished. My next effort will be an album based entirely on greek mythology. They ideas an writing have already begun on this project. I have yet to have a title or a release date. This website will constantly updated with the progress.
Band/artist history
See introduction to Me.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I do not play live. Being a metal project i do not see it a good to lack the fundamental instruments in a live show. It could happen in the future but for now the is strictly a studio project.
Your musical influences
older metal and hard rock but there are other elements thrown in to make things fun.
