About Me


My name is Damian, I am a musician from Huddersfield. I am a guitarist, producer and sound engineer. I have some amazing friends that keep me going in the hard times and keep me laughing in the good times. I love playing pool/snooker and drinking cider or whiskey. I am also obsessed with Finland. I can be quite mad at times, but others very calm and introspective. I care a lot about other people and their happiness. I do not like being screwed.
I have been in many bands in my time ranging from Trad. Jazz to Progressive Death Metal with the most notable band to date being Cenotaph , where I was the lead guitarist and one of the principle writers. The band won a demo of the month competition in Metal Hammer magazine.
I am currently producing a demo for Drexyl , a Huddersfield based band and I have recently produced demos for Human Cull , also from Huddersfield and Karmyne from Hampshire, on which I also played session guitar.
I write and record a lot of music on my own. You can hear the recent stuff here .

My Interests

Spending time rleaxing, playing pool and drinking with my amazing friends. Also: playing, writing, recording, producing and listening to music. Finland and Finish culture. Whiskey and cider!

I'd like to meet:


Interesting and amusing people that have actually read my profile and have something in common with me or people who think they met me somewhere (I get that a lot) and want to chat and have a laugh, also any one that loves metal!
If you are a random band that I don't personally know, send your add request to this profile . I will be more likely to, first of all, listen to you, and secondly accept your add, and then if I decide I like you I will add you here as well. Thanks.

Music:

Mostly prog rock/metal but I love most other types of metal e.g. power, gothic, doom, thrash, death, melodeath, combinations thereof and most types of rawk. I do still enjoy listening to jazz (although I don't play it much any more) and a lot of random electronica/trance/cy-trance.

Movies:

I really enjoy dark, tiwsted movies such as Donnie Darko, The Butterfly Effect The Cell and Park Chan Wook's 'Vengeance' series, but a bit of light-hearted puppet sex (Team America - fuck yeah!) and anything else that makes me giggle or think is always good.

Television:

Lost. Heroes. Top Gear. House. Have I Got News For You. QI. Mock The Week. Coupling. Red Dwarf. Family Guy. Never Mind The Buzzcocks. 3rd Rock From The Sun. Bottom. Derren Brown. Johnathon Creek. Father Ted. Frasier. Green Wing. Hustle. My Family.

Books:

Not much these days...King. Herbert. Pratchet. Holt. Clarkson.

Heroes:

Anyone that stands up for what they believe in and do not drown in an ever growing sea of comformity.
