About Me

Well, how do I "explain myself" on Myspace?
I am a musician/composer/guitarist/bassist. I have been/am/will be involved in:
Fyrdsman (2008-present) - Black metal solo project (possibly live in future): Everything
Alestorm (2008) - Pirate-themed power/folk metal: Guitar (first European tour; songwriting and minor recording contributions for 2nd album; handful of one-off UK gigs)
Premithon (2005-present/dormant)- silly death metal: Guitar
Written In Torment - black metal: WAS gonna play bass, have done some minor demo production (one rough song)
There is other information about me, like I have a BA (Hons) in Popular and World Musics, having done a Major Dissertation titled "Heavy Metal Discourse: The Sociology and Ideology of Black Metal Music". I don't know what else I can say that wouldn't bore you.
I am available as a guitarist or bassist if I'm up to the task and the music's right, with some touring and minor studio experience to boot.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bal-Sagoth, being the rabid fanboy that I am.
