Steven Matthew- Piano, B-3, Synths, Guitar Sounds, Bass, Vocals, Drum Programming, Production Chris Alia- Lead Guitar, Groaning Sounds, some drum Noises ...and a host of various people and musicians, both famous and infamous.

Spock's Beard; Satch; Vai; Peter Gabriel; U2; Iona; Queensryche; Alan Parsons Project; Pink Floyd; the Apostle Paul; Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays; Yes; Peter Gabriel;King Crimson; Gentle Giant; Supertramp; Steely Dan; Dream Theatre; Rush; Creed; Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.........in no particular order... All of the above placed lovingly in a blender with the blessing of the Holy Spirit...a sort of God prog-rock.... I am humbled that God gave me this gift, a heavenly catharsis... So I love to ROCK, among other things....the louder the better. My passions are my Lord, Lisa, my kids, and music- I am a songsmith, vox magnus, keyboardist, bassist, guitarist, and intellectual fool...Music is my passion, and that passion comes from Jesus Christ. Period....I'm Not into religion- that is something mankind makes for itself to satiate their guilty consciences. The music that you hear comes from my heart's desire to create songs that provoke thought and lets your spirit rise. There are so many influences, that I guess you can label it as "God Prog Rock", if there is such a thing. To me, its all good. I welcome your ears and friendship...Keep it Loud, Keep it True!!! PLEASE NOTE!!!!!!!! No accordions have been, or ever will be used in the making of music for VOX MAGNUS......ALSO- ANY sounds or noises resembling a de-railing train load of screaming kittens, nuns, and orphans on fire going off a cliff into a pool of boiling oil is purely coincidental, and not the real thing....those would be guitar noises, as I am still learning...
