About Me

I am a musician in the art of metal, and the mastermind behind Algarothsyum. I write and record two solo projects, and help work on soundtrack/audio development in the video game Apokalypsos, which is in the making.
I love metal; black, death, blackened death, symphonic, progressive, thrash, doom... all of it. When I'm not playing it, I'm listening to it. When I'm not listening to it, I'm talking about it.


ALGAROTHSYUM - this is my one-man death/black/post-apocalyptic solo project, that's been in the writing stage for many years now. Recording is coming along slowly but nicely. You can hear the music on the main page. I am currently in the process of recording for a 4-track demo.
DYSGENIC - this is a new, second solo project I'm starting. It will be purely technical death metal with jazz elements. The material will sound almost nothing like Algarothsyum, since this project will emphasize on technicality and complexity, and not atmosphere. Writing is in the process!
APOKALYPSOS - this is a post-apocalyptic MMO, currently under development by Lethal Concept, by diehard fans of the the late great game, Auto Assault. I am helping in the audio/soundtrack aspects of the game. There will be updates often, so check back often for new information.Pages of all of these bands can be found below, in my friend's list. Add them and show some support!

MALEFIC - local blackened death metal band that I played drums for, April to October 2009. We played several shows, and I recorded drums for two songs.
DAMNESIA - local metal/crust band that I played drums for. We played many shows, went on a week-long tour in April, spanning from GA to NY, recorded a 2-track demo, and a full length.
JESUS CHRISTLER - a deathgrind band that spawned off of Damnesia. We often played JC songs in Damnesia sets, but JC had only one real show. No recordings were made of the band.
SUBARCTIC HEIR - progressive black metal band that I recorded one song with, titled "Frost-Forged Rebellion". I provided the drums on the track.
For the sake of musical discussion, here are my favorite artists that have inspired me over the years.
Drummers - my brother Kevin, the best "pocket player" I know; Sean Reinert; Derrin Cesca; Derek Roddy; Hellhammer; Mike Portnoy; Neil Peart; Tomas Haake; Trym Torson; Asgeir Mickelson; Vyl (the name is pure coincidence!); George Kollias
Guitarists - Mikael Akerfeldt, John Petrucci, James Malone, Chuck Schuldiner, Paul Masvidal, Michael Romeo, Obsidian C.

Oh yeah, I also love to play Ultima Online and Battlefield 2. If you play UO, I'm usually on the Atlantic shard. On BF2, my CS:S clan just started a 64-man ranked server, so come check it out:

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mikael Akerfeldt, Tomas Haake, Fredrick Thordendal, John Petrucci, Asgeir Mickelson, George Kollias, Derek Roddy, Sean Reinert, Daniel Gildenlow, Ihsahn, Sin Nanna. I would also enjoy meeting the late Chuck Schuldiner, Dimebag Darrell, and Witold Kieltyka but alas I can't.

Heres a change I *DO* believe in.

For the record, this is NOT a rant about Obama, or McCain, or any other politician. In fact, it's not entirely related to politics. Don't ask me a question about a politician, who I support, who I vot...
