My name is JD McGibney, and I conquer my battlefield on the wings of dragons.  Sometimes while shredding on guitar, but always through a keen determination to follow my heart... and never actually on a dragon (sadly).

After almost two decades of practicing music and exercising my creativity in any way possible, I have learned that there is no other place I would rather be than on stage or in a studio; to me, music is the key to the universe.

I have traveled the world with some wonderful people, and I have had the opportunity to share the stage with some fantastic musicians.  In my time on this earth, I have come to love reaching out and connecting with the world through that which I love most.

Make Them Suffer are a five-piece metal band, emerging from Perth, Western Australia in October 2008. Since the band's inception, Make Them Suffer have been sweeping the nation by storm with a highly addictive blend of contemporary Death Metal, Black Metal and Deathcore. Fused smoothly together by symphonic texturizing and intricate piano to create a very dark and mature, emotionally driven onslaught of brutality.

Having already made a name for themselves with the release of their self-titled four track demo in January 2009. Make Them Suffer have arrived fresh out of the studio with Roland Lim (BIRDS OF TOKYO) with an exciting, insightful and original twist on contemporary metal with the release of their 5 track EP "Lord Of Woe" which has been compared in Blunt Magazine to the likes of BEHEMOTH, BLEEDING THROUGH and THE ACACIA STRAIN.

Now with a readily available EP, a full length album on its way and a sea of shows under their belt including support slots for BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, THE ACACIA STRAIN, WINDS OF PLAGUE, DARKEST HOUR and UNEARTH among others, Make Them Suffer have began attacking the national and international music scene.

“An impressive debut and one to keep an eye on.” – [4/5] Blunt Magazine

“Although the venue was yet to reach full capacity there was already a neat row of headbangers at the front and tactical tacking maneuvers were required to negotiate the dangerously swelling crowd.” - Fasterlouder.com.au
