SEEKING

ABOUT

*Looking primarily for session work!*

I am primarily a metal drummer with over fifteen years of experience (black/doom/thrash/speed metal, as well as various ambient and folk projects).
In the past two years alone I've worked with internationally renowned studios (Studio Wormwood, Studio Fredman / Obsidian Studios) on six different recordings, and have toured in Latin America and the Southeastern United States.

I am seeking opportunities to diversify my work in session work, as I am in an established and active band - given the right opportunity, however, I would not be opposed to working with another established band more thoroughly as well!

My priorities and strengths are:
-Studio recording (very experienced tracking solo to a click, or tracking live)
-Live performance
-Travel (partly bilingual - FR)
-Arrangement help
-Backing vocals (harsh/clean)
-Not being a jerk, with an all-inclusive attitude

Drumming style tends to favor more European metal styles.

If you have a project you are willing to consider me for, do not hesitate to get in touch!

Especially looking for:
- symphonic / gothic metal
- folk metal
- thrash
- black metal
- melodic death metal

With respect, NOT personally looking for:
-metalcore/deathcore
-pop country
-bluegrass
-classic rock
-cover bands
-folk punk
-crust

Have small rehearsal space for my own means, have connections for studio work, very comfortable recording with metronome, or without.

Proud to play alongside people of any ethnic background, persuasion or orientation, so long as stage presence, ethics and musical export are on point!
No sketchy political views or vices, and I aim to be the type of person you'd enjoy being on the road with.
