Guitarist from Oklahoma...some of these tracks are up to 10 years old in no specific order but the older songs are generally near the bottom of the list.  I'm pretty bad at naming things so everything is named with the best description I can give.  This is just a catalog of my riffs and ideas I have recorded over the years.  I also dabble in some hip hop beats, I really love underground MC's like Atmosphere and MF Doom, I would say my inspiration comes from that type of hip hop.  Hope you like it!

Originating from the mind of Kai Giritli (guitars, clean vocals) in 2008, Subversion is a 5 piece melodic tech metal band from Kent in the UK.

Utilising hard hitting frontmanship from Jay Shields, Kai’s soaring hook filled clean vocals, guitar riffs that sway from heavy groove to epic melody, and the laser tight percussion of Ben Atkinson; Subversion like to dabble in the arts of odd time signatures spliced with huge thought inducing soundscapes.

Their first full length album release “Lest We Forget” (2010) was critically acclaimed by Metal Hammer, Kerrang, Terrorizer and Rock Sound Magazine.

Singles such as “Treason”, “Butchered”, & “What We Are Entitled” received airtime on XFM, Total Rock and Radio 1 as well as various international stations across the world securing Subversion a slot on 2011’s Euroblast Festival in Germany.

Having played internationally with the likes of Tesseract, Mnemic, Monuments, Xerath, Hacktivist and Chimp Spanner been a part of UK Tech Metal Festival & Euroblast Festival; Subversion have proven they are dedicated to their art and ready to take on the world. This is not the Subversion of yesteryear.

Press Quote: 
"Juddering tech metal blends in with the kind of soaring melodies built for arenas to create a sound that is both wall-shakingly heavy and infectiously melodic. Nailing both ends of the metal spectrum, Subversion do serious damage when they get heavy but manage to still get you reaching for the lighter as they reel it in a bit" - Planet-Loud.com

let the music heal your soul - my soundcloud ranges from chill melodic to tech house to trippy alien noises to filthy dubstep :) a little bit of everything. enjoy
