Matt Platts

t h e p l a t t s m e t h o d is officially endorsed by

Currently going under a variety of pseudonyms inc. Lord Blast (Primitive Graven Image) and Rzryx R'yleh (Empyreal Destroyer), the entiny otherwise known as Matt Platts is generally to be found blasting away in a small farm house somewhere in the Gerrards Cross area...
Now endorsed by Pearl, the greatest drum manufacturers in history imho, I am pleased to be releasing at least two records this year - 'Curse All Creation' with Empyreal Destroyer, and the as yet untitled black metal classic (just you wait!) from Primitive Graven Image - due out on Pennsylvania based Open Grave Records.
I also play guitar, althuogh currently with the opportunity to play drums 24 hours a day, that is exactly what Im doing. My only neighbours are 16 horses, 2 dogs and 2 wild cats, and oddly dont seem too bothered by it all, so GX Rehearsal Studios is finally off the ground - if you're local and need somewhere to rehearse get in touch!
Of late I've been perfecting some more extreme speed techniques under the watchful eye of Nick Barker of Cradle Of Filth/Dimmu Borgir/Testament fame. It is great to be working with such a legend and great drummer, and the effects are certainly coming through.

Band biog:
2008 so far - live work and recording with Empyreal Destoyer and Primitive Graven Image. Studio work on as yet untitled extreme industrial project.
2007 - live dates (guitar) with Avoidance Of Doubt. On tour with Primitive Graven Image and Empyreal Destroyer
