About Me


Alex M, journaliste-photographe et guitariste de SteelCore : 33 ans, Terrien.
Spécimen humanoide sérieusement atteint du metallium tremens, syndrome contracté dès l'âge de 6 ans. Individu touché depuis quelques années par la pixelmania. Craint furieusement la lumière du soleil avant la mi-journée. Un réveil prématuré peut s'avérer fatal. Il existe heureusement un antidote : le houblon, fermenté cela va sans dire. Et avec des bulles SVP!

I live in Belfort, a middle town in the east of France. I am interested mostly in shredding, recording & taking live pictures...
Born in 1974. I have been playing guitar since I'am 6, after discovering heavy metal with Iron Maiden & ACDC... and falling in love with overdrive. Today I'am the "SteelCore" lead guitarist (progressive trash metal).
My masters are : George Lynch, Zakk Wylde, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Kiko Loureiro, James Murphy, Richie Kotzen, Paul Gilbert, Reb Beach and Doug Aldrich.
I play only mahogany guitars : Gibson, Jackson-Charvel & ESP on Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, Soldano preamp & Marshall JCM800 with Engl 4x12 Celestion vintage 30. I use Rocktron & TC Electronics effects, Mackie, Alesis & Digidesign recording systems.
I'm working as journalist (reporter, photographer & editor) for a daily french newspaper, L'Alsace-LePays . I use Canon 20D with grip & Canon lens : 70-200F2.8IS, 50F1.4, & 17-85F4-5.6IS. You can see me working, or drinking beer, at the Z7 (Basel), La Laiterie (Strasbourg), or Bercy (Paris).
