ABOUT
I am a white guy with long hair and love to head bang until i have a headache and metal scream until my throat bleeds, and am a layed back kind of guy thats got alot of patients, loyalty, and commitment to what i love. I spend most of his time gardening, listening to metal and having a good time with my friends and family. I wake up in the morning an start off my day with a dose of my favorite bands and usually sing about two hours a day. I am from Michigan and was born and raised in the little town of Lowell. I lived in michigan for twelve years before moving to Fremont, CA where i also lived for 12 years before recently moving back to michigan for a year but am now living back in fremont, CA. i practice hobbies such as playing the guitar, hunting, fishing and all around spending time in nature. I usually wear camo's on a daily basis lol. I am absolutely dying to pursue my dream of singing in a metal band and would feel terrible dying one day without having tried. My favorite genres are folk metal, death metal, black metal, just all around heavy ass metal. If any band out there is willing to give me a shot will give it my all. I have been told by all of my friends that i need to try to sing in a metal band it would be a shame not to. I am into and usually sing styles such as...Behemoth, Amon Amarth, Eluveitie, Dimmu Borgir, Suidakra, Ensiferum, Belphegor, Nile, Melechesh, Korn, Rebellion, Mushroomhead, As I Lay Dying, Slipknot and Drowning pool i guess lol, and would try any metal style really. Ive had long hair most of my adult life and have had dreads in highschool that i could mostly describe as being like jonathon davis's. i was obsessed with korn at that point and would switch my hair style between heads sort of twisty braid things to jonathons dread style. Now if i could compare myself to any style it would be like an amon amarth kind of hair do. i dont style my hair i just let it hang so i can headbang better lol. I am huge into norse mythology and just any old medieval and celtic days kind of sh*t. I am an american, but have irish, dutch, german, polish, french canadian, and native american blood. I get goosebumps and feel at home and empowered when i hear the bag pipes and other celtic instruments. I have been playing the guitar for about three years with my fingers, ive never learned with a pick. I am nowhere good enough to play guitar in a band yet i dont think lol, So i wouldn't worry about me trying to take ur spotlight riffing it up on stage yet lol. I can play a mean hobbit theme riff though lol. Ive never tried being in a band until now but dont want to waste any more time. i want to get this sh*t on a roll and have some fu*kin fun and give it a shot.

Influences
KoRn, Behemoth, Nile, Amon Amarth, Eluveitie, Dimmu Borgir, Suidakra, Ensiferum, Belphegor, Mushroomhead, Slipknot, Rammstein, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock. Alot of my inluence comes from my troubled past dabbling in life on the streets of california. Ive gone through hard times where i would find a warm refuge in locking myself in my room and writing lyrics, writing poetry and listening to metal. as im sure alot of you metal heads would understand. I seriously feel like metal has brought me through the toughest times of my life, Ive gone through near death experiences and have came to the strong realization of how mortal i am and how much it means to live life to the fullest and try for my dream because you only live once and you could go any day. My loving family has been an incredible influence on me as well. I couldnt have made it through the hard times without them. My friends who have introduced me to genres such as folk metal have been a huge influence on me as well. I regularly go to the mountains in places such as weaverville, CA where i hang out with all these haggard ass metal head mountain guys that have played in metal bands and live hardcore ass lifestlyes and have introduced me to alot of good metal bands that have influenced me such as Nile and Amon Amarth. I never knew i could metal scream so well until i started singing along to different folk metal and death metal bands. Also singing in the shower and on the way anywhere in the car have been a major part of everyday lol. I like to think as the shower stall as my studio. i have weaved heavy metal into an everyday part of my life and everything i do since I was a young boy in a little town. My first metal song i ever heard and made me fall in love was Shoots and Ladders by Korn. The first tape i ever owned in my life was Hellbilly Deluxe by rob zombie. I would lock myself in my room as a child and listen to it for hours. I was an oddity in my little town. As most of you metal heads from the small towns out there would also understand. I loved being the odd one with all my sinister little heart. And continue to to this day. I could give a fu*k when anyone thinks! Im me and i love it. Balls out or go home.
