This is D, I was born and raised in Spokane WA. Graduated from East Valley in 91, went into the military and eventually found my self slaving away 9-5. I met my wife and we were married in 2000, she's awesome, couldn't ask for more. We have three Really great/Gifted boys,. I got the name from the killer, half glazed way I look when on stage and in the moment. I've been listening and rocking out to all forms of music since I was real young and my dad claims he regrets that all music was played entirely way too loud around the house, and he's sorry. But I still have my ears and an appreciation for Alice Cooper, led Zeppelin, Hendrix and Priest. Back in 2001 I was in a band by the name of Crackerjack tattoo here in Spokane WA. We had a decent following and even put out a halfway decent cd titled "twisted" This was pretty much a new venture for me and I spent the next 4 1/2 years bleeding for my art. In January of 2006 I was involved in an accident where I almost broke my neck and it sidelined me for a while. In the end the band dissolved but not before preparing me for my next project: DRILL.DRILL is exactly what I originally set out to do but never accomplished with the first band. While CJT took a track in 80's ish metal influences and harsher vocals what I really wanted was a blend of Progressive metal merged with industrial influences, kinda like dream theater meats NIN, with Alice Coopers Psychotic influences. I also really like to take-no-prisoners guitar work of Zakk Wylde. I've always been a fan of horror so I spent alot of time writing what will be the first DRILL epic. this is a look in to say the least and not necessarily me, I try to put myself in others shoes and writing from their point of view. This project will definately take some work. I've been a fan of Gibson so You'll be hearing that familiar crunch also, I've owned a black and wht flying v since I bought it in 95, and just recently I purchased a Gibson Custom shop ZakkWylde les Paul (Blk and wht also) and a schekter hellraiser 7 string baritone, pod xt live etc.. Every moment goes into a recording that will be used at some point in the future. I figure of the 120 or songs that were written in the last 8 months about 25 to 30 will be on the album. Go big or go home (go broke, then go home . . .) anyway lookin forward to a big 08 and looking forward to not having to compromise or "settle" if you know what I mean.
