About Me

Khepri is a musician and composer. His musical style is a fusion of symphonic metal and middle eastern elements. Trying to convey the sounds and imagery in his head, his musical style is innovative and unique. Primarily Khepri plays the guitar and sings however he is soley responsible for all instrumental performances, recording and production of his songs.
After submersing within music of many cultures he was ever fascinated with the exotic sounds that escaped the west. Khepri studied western classical music as well as music theory (of which he is a big advocate). This is clearly evident within his compositions.
In 2006 he completed his first album titled Flame of Fervour. This was a blend of electronic, classical and metal styles. His voice and compositional style is drastically different from others near his musical genre. Currently he is working on a new album to be released before 2008. This is to be a synthesis of interesting and powerful styles unheard of before.
