I spent about 2 hours writing and changing up this little 20 seconds of guitar solo. I should move on to the 2nd half of the solo, but idk if I’m satisfied with it. 😅

Haven’t done vocals for a bit, but it felt great to get back into the swing of things.

Back from a 2 week vacation where I couldn’t play. Got home and plugged straight in and had to do some mindless noodling. I’m mainly a metal guitarist, but I will always love that undeniably amazing Strat tone.

Been on vacation a couple weeks, and was going through some photos of some of my gear. Excited to be back to playing and figured I’d share some eye candy.

2nd new song from the upcoming album dropped today! It’s on all major streaming platforms, but here’s the Spotify link. Special guest Robin Stone on drums again!

The 2nd song off my upcoming album, Discarded and Damned, is out today! This can be streamed on all major platforms, but below is the link for Spotify. Go check it out! It’s got some cool brain bender time signatures in it too.

Again, Robin Stone on drums for this one!

Trying to relearn stuff I wrote recently enough, but I can never record the ideas fast enough, so I’m always having to relearn songs due to recording nonstop. 🤷🏻‍♂️

My vocals are a bit off in this because I’d been practicing for a bit, but does this sound like fry scream after the false chord? I got false chord down pretty fast but have been struggling with fry and I think it may have just clicked. Thoughts?

Clip of a newer song I’m working on. The album I just finished is all 7 string guitars, some in standard and some in drop A tuning, and so far the newer songs like this are all 6 string with standard tuning. Anyone else still enjoy the good ol’ six stings?? lol

(I recognize the mix is off in this. It’s only a demo version)

A few people were interested in amp settings and the string action on my guitar from my video yesterday, so I figured I’d share some pics.

So I decided the write my first album. I wrote and recorded everything, with the exception of drums, which were done by Robin Stone. (If you don’t know who that is, he is an absolute phenomenal drummer out of Australia)

Anyway, if you like techdeath inspired by the likes of Necrophagist, The Zenith Passage and The Faceless, along with prog metal influences, this might interest you. I’m leaving a presave for the first single link below. (It’s out May 9th) If you’d like more info on future releases and when the album is out, send me a message, as I don’t wanna go overboard with spammy self/promotion.
