About Me

"I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the Will of God. I have seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is [in your soul] and [in your heart] and what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man - or not."
~Kingdom of Heaven Script (Hospitaller)

My Name is Patrick Hoyt Parris

"Patrick Hoyt"
About me..hmm......
Im just an average guy really. I'm a metalhead, but I'm not a stereotype.
I listen to variations of Metal (progressive, power, thrash, etc.), variations of rock (80's, hard rock, alternative, etc.), industrial/techno/trance.

Im heavily involved in the music scene local to Atlanta and I am the singer/frontman/lyricist for Atlanta's fast up and coming power/thrash metal act Eclipsed By Sanity which can be found on myspace.
I won't lie, I enjoy attention, but I'm NOT in a band for attention--so don't get that idea. Im in a band because I enjoy performing and entertaining people. It makes me happy to see people enjoying themselves because of what I do.
My ideal life would be to perform in a band and make enough money to live off of, but just in case that doesn't work out Im attending West Central Technical College to get my Associates Degree in Administrative Office Technology (AoT).
If you have any specific questions that you can't figure out on your own, just shoot me a message.

"The only people you need in your life are the ones who prove they need you in theirs"

"If you want forgiveness, go find religion."
