Experimental Extreme Metal Noise Forever!

About Me

In 1999 I started recording solo albums on my 4 track. The first 3 were released on tape and were called, IO,ARRAKIS, and TRITON respectively. This was a trilogy about moons and planets, 2 real, 1 fictitious. I recorded one more album on tape, around this same time period, which is a secret recording to be released after my death. IO was released in 2000, ARRAKIS was released in 2002 and Triton was released in 2003. These recordings are extremely rare, If you own one consider yourself fortunate. My first CD release was Estotiland, and to date is my best material. Estotiland is the 16th century name for NewFoundland or Vinland if you like. I rehearsed the material for 18 months before recording it, and the result was the most serious METAL I've ever put together. This was also the first time I used one of my paintings (One night an island is born), for my album cover. Hip Hop artist Blitz (Sheldon Gray) recorded it at his Quantum studio laboratory in late 2004, with style and class. Photos and graphic art were done by combat photographer Sergeant Dan Yarnall, the most compitent man in his field. My second CD release was She is forever burning, She is life. SIFBSIL was an intense concept album, bringing to the forefront my new experimental leanings. The story behind the album was focused on Mother Earth's disgust with the human race. From begining to end the lyrics are one continuous story of Gaia's creation of a new island off the Skeleton coast of Namibia. Reactions to the new sound were mixed, as it was much more ARTSY then Estotiland. A.J. Orvis Engineered the album at my own Zond studios, capturing with precision the vision I had perceived. I used another oil painting of mine for the album cover (The cave), and my painting (A beauty unknown), as the artwork for the back of the album. Once again Photography and graphic design were done by the master, Dan Yarnall. My third CD release was called Pulsar or Entering the gravitational whirlpool of a Neutron star (you decide which you like best, it really has 2 names). This is an electronic noise recording of a space satellite being sucked into a huge ball bearing in the Crab nebula (Neutron stars are made of pure METAL, or so it's theorized). This album was released on Vagotonia Records, based out of Bozeman. It was the labels fifth release, and my seventh solo album (six released). Since January 1 I have recorded 3 new solo albums: He who knows he doesn't know, KNOWS!, Dnekeew, and The Blood Album. All 3 of these albums are extremely experimental. I have also joined 2 new bands this year: Sephilrot, and Attack. I am currently recording and/or playing shows with 6 bands. Music is all consuming in my life. THE BLOG ENTITLED "ORDERING INFORMATION" HAS ALL OF MY ALBUMS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. An important influence on my solo career are the bands I've played with over the years. These include from first to most recent:The Carrion Nation (1996-1997) We Die Alone (1998-1999) Hygalilver (2000-2002) Submit? (2002 west coast tour) Revelations Beyond Utopia (2002) Demonsteed (2004-2007) The Trenches (2007-present) Korolev Zond (2006-present) Chernozem (2007- present) The Isolated (2007-present) Attack(2008) Sephilrot (2008) A split with Tomhet is scheduled to be released in June of this year on Time End Records. Check out Tomhet on myspace to be truly inspired, and mystified. A split with All the Cold is in the works for later this summer. Take a look at ATCs site and you will be frozen solid. My 2007 release, Thjoviljinn vs. Visir, is available to order now on Gelid Glacier Records, and is the defining recording of my career. TVV contains 10 minutes worth of samples from a secret society ritual at Bohemian Grove. I no longer use a drum machine in my music, my skills on the kit have improved by leeps and bounds. I would also like to point out in conclusion, that if my music dealt with satanic topics I would call it black metal. Even though TVV sounds like USBM, I do not use satanic subject matter for lyrics or artwork. I DO NOT SUPPORT NATIONAL SOCIALIST BLACK METAL!!! I do however support the USBM underground scene, as well as the international black metal undergrounders 100%, as is made clear by the bands or individuals on my friends list.
