About Me


Songwriter/Composer/Arranger, Guitarist, Lead Vocalist of True Epic Power Metal band ETERNAL WINTER
Eternal Winter is a True Power Metal band founded by Matthew Knight and Gordon Burchell in 2002. The band derives their roots from classic Heavy Metal of the 80's as well as influences of more modern "True", "Epic" and "Power" Metal. Eternal Winter's conceptual lyrical content are inspired by their own Heroic Fantasy saga which can be found at www.eternalwinter.com. They are currently in the studio, recording their new epic EP, that will be out early 2009I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
