[[AS OF 10/15/2023, PROJECT IS CURRENTLY ON HOLD, THOUGH NOT INDEFINITELY]]
25 years old on Long Island, NY. Current lead guitarist for the Queens-based progressive/hard rock band Mindfield Playground. Would like to start up another project more in the vein of thrash/traditional heavy metal (see influences below). Looking for people who want to do the same and be a part of this ever-growing New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM) that we find ourselves in right now, with our own twist, of course.

Looking for: 2nd guitarist, bassist, singer, drummer
I am most available weekday afternoons (after ~4:00 PM) and all day weekends, mostly in the Nassau County and NYC areas (possibly Suffolk, as well).
