The Calm before

Behind the mask Full Version

Revealed

The Rising

There's not enough time or space to print a real in depth view into who I am and still keep you interested. So briefly... I have spent most of my life jumping in and out of low light garage bands and small metal groups. After high school, I got myself into what would become an 11 year, life changing group of same minded, misfit, band refugee's of other fallen groups of the "New metal" era. We immediately clicked and began a really fun and aggressive new type of sound, coming out of the lame days of what metal had become, within the states. 

I always played as the rhythm guitar, in my previous groups. But for this project.. I jumped on for vocals. Self taught from that point on piano/keyboards and also a burning desire to write in the studio ALL THE TIME. But as most know... the struggling bank accounts of wanna be rockstars, or even just plain old musicians... Is pretty fleeting. Not to mention... studio time or purchasing your own studio gear, gets expensive fast. Unfortunately my most favorite achievement in the world, was coming to a halt, right before the peak. Flaming and feuding ego's, massive alcohol and drug abuse, playing rockstar's before our time. The goal seemed to drift and just form into a grotesque dream. So as with everything that is toxic... it comes to and end.

Fast forward 10 years... I had come out of living in a really horrible health occurence and I am currently fighting on a transplant list for my stage four kidney disease. I have become quite stable for the last 5 years and started to really feel inspired and the burn to play music again and badly. The radio was quite loud in my head, so to speak. I suddenly had a lot to write and say now. Plus I really wanted to start producing, since currently I have come into a lot of down time. So... slowly I started buying everything I would need to just be my own band. No titles, no drama... more so just a release and outlet therapy for the trapped mind. 

So now I'm working to build back some of the old school music that carried me through some tough times and saved many parts of my life. I will be writing and producing it all and also invite my other musical friends to often join in this project. MUSIC IS LIFE, MUSIC IS LOVE. SPREAD IT! 
It reaches everyone differently and that's wherein, the beauty lies. 

So bear with me, it's coming faster by the days! But I got to live real life too. So keep checking back for completed new tracks... but for now, I hope you enjoy these very different types and styles of tracks🤘. Please drop a like and/or a comment. I love to hear your thoughts!
Much Love in Metal🖤💀 And life!
