Waking Giants
I am currently in two bands, Sins Of Our Fathers (progressive deathstep) and Shadows Above Us (progressive metalcore), but I always have amazing ideas that don't fit into the two bands. This solo project allows me to express myself musically, show my talent as a single musician and producer, and give everybody some more good music to listen to. I will never make people pay for this music. I just want people to hear it, love it, and enjoy it. I use A LOT of odd time signatures, polyrhythms, complex rhythms, soaring solos, catchy melodies, trance inducing electronics, and many other experimental characteristics.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I just started on August 14th, 2011.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I hope someday for Devoid of Inertia to play some live shows. However, i do play live shows with my other bands, and I love it.
