About Me

Oh, hellro!!
Well, first off; Music is everything to me. I am a guitarist for two bands: IMPALER & FOR BLOOD. IMPALER having started in 1983, will be celebrating our 25th year anniversary of "Shock Rock" in 2008. I joined up with them April of 2006. We just released the CD "Alive Beyond The Grave" which is the bands first live CD. We are currently working on the next studio album "Cryptozoology" & have a European tour coming up. I also started my own band: FOR BLOOD. Starting february of 2006, various auditions and line-up changes led to the complete and current line-up we have now. From the ashes of past local metal bands, FOR BLOOD consists of Shaun Scott (DEVILINSIDE/HORROR), Kyle Skogquist (REVELENCE/IMPALER), Andy Oltmanns (COLD COLOURS/SECTION HATE/RIVKIT) & Jim Haugen (TO BLEED FOR). Currently, we are recording our first full length album (Title coming soon). Keep an eye out for both IMPALER & FOR BLOOD on the scene. Stay tuned and KEEP EM' ALIVE |mmmmmmmm|
