About Me


Come and add my new band DOMINANCE!!!!
www.myspace.com/DOMINANCE666
We are now in the studio getting ready to release our debute CD, so get ready for a whole new breed of METAL for the next generation!
Some call me a hippy, some call me a metalhead, some have even called me the son of SATAN!!! So whatever you think I am...Sorry, I'm just being me!
Well what you see is what you get.I'm probably the most honest,sincere,loyal,and fair guy you will ever meet,no bullshit. I love to laugh (some call me a comedian), I am very laid back, very easy going, but yet a hard worker, and I always tell the truth.
I have been singing/screaming on a professional level for more than 12 yrs., and feel very fortunate, lucky, and honored, but it is alot of HARD & RELENTLESS work!
I feel very lucky to have been in 4 simi successful bands including - BURIAL,EVILUTION,UNSANCTIFIED & ARCTIC WINDS. Which you can find 4 of the 3 on my TOP list.
My bands/music, Ursula, true friends, and close family are the most important things in my life, without either I AM NOTHING!
I hate people who lie, especially if it's to make themselves look better. I also hate people who put down, discriminate, or who are predjudice to other people for whatever reason, to make them feel better about themselves. Noone should be treated unkindly.
I'M ALL ABOUT BEING FAIR & HONEST & TRUE WITH OTHERS & YOURSELF - TREAT OTHERS HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED!
I have seen some pretty amazing & mostly unbeleivable stuff over the course of my life/career, played with many many great bands, in many different cities, I feel VERY honored & lucky to see and experience some of the things I have witnessed. It's truly amazing & unbeleivable to me!!!
Here are a few of the bands I have been honored to play with over the years -
Anal Blast, Abysmal Dawn, Behemoth, Beyond The Embrace, Brujeria, Cattle Decapitation, Cephalic Carnage, Cessation of Life, Coffin Text, Crematorium, Crisis, Dark Funeral, Decapitatated, Deicide, Dismember. Exhumed, Goat Whore,Grave, Hate Eternal, Immolation, Incantation, Infamy, Kataklysm, Krisiun,Malevalant Creation, Mayhem, Monstrosity, Mortician, Nausea, Nile, Obituary, Sadistic Intent, Six Feet Under,Sodom Strapping Young Lad, Suffocation, Testament, Unholy Ghost, Usurper, and Vehemence just to name a few!
Check out this video, I saw OZZY & ZACK WYLDE live on The Jimmy Kimmel Show 5-20-07!
Wait until it gets to 2:34 then pause it,and look for ME in the BLS hat, LOL!!!
Here are some of my VOCAL REVIEWS, I managed to save & put together over the last few years.
UNSANCTIFIED - Concert Review Downey CA. 3/8/03 "Unsanctified are not only evil demons on there instruments, but the singer definitely knows how to involve a crowd and keep them interested."
~DARKSOUL7.COM
***********************************************************
UNSANCTIFIED - Concert Review Las Vegas, NV 9/11/04
"These Los Angeles metalers (UNSANCTIFIED)are brutal. They (UNSANCTIFIED) have a vocalist and a guitar player that trade vocals and pulled that off very well. Nothing slow and puchy about this band."
~Chris White
***********************************************************
UNSANCTIFIED - Demons Of My Own Making - Review
"UNSANCTIFIED's arsenal of deadly riffing, sudden blast beats and dying vocals just come at you like the M-1 tank, crushing everything in it's path, leaving a path of carnage in it's wake."
EXPLICITLY INTENSE MAGAZINE ~Sarjoo Devani
***********************************************************
UNSANCTIFIED - Demons Of My Own Making - Review
"In the heaviest form of aggression I’ve heard. The vocals are deeply guttural and vile sounding. I appreciate that unlike other bands of this genre these guys (UNSANCTIFIED) actually have lyrics that they sing in their songs." "Overall a pounding and battering sound that I feel will satisfy anyone hungry for a taste of true heavy metal!"
SPACE JUNKIES MAGAZINE ~Maria Weeks
***********************************************************
UNSANCTIFIED - Demons Of My Own Making - Review
Highly recommended! "For these young chaps (UNSANCTIFIED) on the death metal scene spewing forth to the masses a wave of guitar driven locusts, nuclear cannon blasts and regurgitated voices, I say, welcome......to our nightmares, you are metal."
THE METAL VAULT ~Mark"RavenClaws"
***********************************************************
UNSANCTIFIED - Demons Of My Own Making - Review
"This music is based on Donnie Marhefka’s very deep vocals and characteristic riffs which very easily will be recognized as Unsanctified’s original tunes."
~Metal Side Webzine
***********************************************************
UNSANCTIFIED - Demons Of My Own Making - Review
"This 5 song disc contains many impressive riffs and song writing skills."
~staticzine.com
***********************************************************
UNSANCTIFIED - Demons Of My Own Making - Review
"One of the better death metal bands I have herad in a long time". The vocals are real low with a cool high pitched scream here and there".
~Jensmetalpage.com
***********************************************************
BURIAL - Mourning The Millennium - Review
"...Their production and songwriting are quite good"..."Ultra brutal Death Metal with sick vocals."
~Metal curse.com
***********************************************************
BURIAL - Mourning The Millennium - Review
“Damn! I almost had a heart attack when this cd started! There’s no pretty little flower stuff at the start, no keyboard intro, no classical music. The first thing you hear is blasting drums! And if you’re standing next to your speaker and expecting the intro….well let’s just say I jumped back pretty damn fast….o.k. and I tripped and landed on my butt, too…..this cd doesn’t let up at all. It’s just a whirlwind of blasting drums, grinding guitars and a pissed off sounding growly guy on vox. My heart’s still hammering from that opening.”
~Corrosion ‘Zine #12
***********************************************************
BURIAL - Mourning The Millennium - Review
“Top rate death metal with a brutal edge. This 5 song disc contains many impressive riffs and song writing skills. ‘Sign of the Apocalypse’ uses clean guitar sections while still maintaining an extreme sound. Double guitar harmonies are also a great thing about this band. A very creative effort here, definitely worth your time.”
Static ‘Zine
***********************************************************
BURIAL - Mourning The Millennium - Review
“Here’s 5 headkicks of brutal east coast death metal from a band called Burial. Very much in the Suffocation/Cannibal Corpse vein, and they represent the genre well with tight execution, crisp blasts & double bass, and of course matched with a very heavy sound. Burial show the signs of wanting to take brutal death metal into lesser-traveled paths (the slow and moody “Enslaved Creation” in particular) though you won’t find anything but pure American death metal throughout….82/100.”
~Hell Frost VII #7
***********************************************************
BURIAL - Mourning The Millennium - Review
(This one is my personal favorite)
“…Black/death metal band whose music is really good and has potential. What I didn’t like about this cd is a very disturbing song called “Skullfucked.” This song is about an incredibly violent rape of a female. Very descriptive and disgusting and makes me want to take a baseball bat to their empty skulls and beat them ‘till the skin falls off their bloody bones. From the way I see it, this shows the immaturity of this band they don’t deserve to be recognized for being demented. This song should be evidence enough to put these guys in a mental institution for observation. I would never support this band by buying this cd or even attending their show. Unless this band can be creative enough to write songs that would not be considered criminally insane, Burial can R.I.P.
~BERZERKE
***********************************************************
BURIAL - Mourning The Millennium
“…This CD just kicks ass. It’s fast, hard & brutal. The epitome of death metal. Every true death metal fan deserves this.”
~Metal Mafia #7
***********************************************************
BURIAL - Mourning The Millennium
“In the late eighties, Britain was left behind by America in the race to produce quality death metal acts…well, America is still churning out these sort of bands at a frightening pace and Burial are another brutal effort…..a fine example of brutal, technical death metal played the American way.”
~Intoxicated
MORE TO COME...
Thanks to all my friends, family & fans all over the world for the amazing support over the years. It truly means a great deal to me, and I could never thank you enough - THANK YOU!!!

My Interests

I love to sing, play & perform with my bands. I have seen some pretty amazing things over the years. I'm really into my wifey URSULA, She's the best girl ever. I truelly like to do alot of things. Mostly anything to do with the great outdoors, I love the sun,beach,biking,hiking,camping, clubs, getting TATTOOED,concerts,movies, music stores, record stores, restaurants. I Just like getting up and see where I end up. I'm a very spontaneous guy. Full of energy and action. I hate being at home unless I'm doing something productive for the band. I also like playing drums, guitars and a litlle blues harmonica too. I just like to have fun,love to laugh, Drink a beer light up a joint and have a great time, ENJOY LIFE-HOWEVER THE FUCK YOU CHOOSE, IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, BUT BEACAUSE TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME!!!

I'd like to meet:

Your girlfriend,your wife,your sister & your mom!!!

People who are honest with me & themselves.

Music:

This is ROBERT JOHNSON - THE ONE WHO STARTED IT ALL! THIS IS 1 OF ONLY 2 PICTURES IN EXCISTENCE. ROBERT JOHNSON IS THAT GUY YOU ALWAYS HEARD ABOUT , MAKING A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL. HE ONLY RECORDED 29 SONGS BEFORE HIS DEATH IN 1937 AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 27, WHICH IS STILL A MYSTERY. IF YOU LOVE GUITAR OR EVEN IF YOU DON'T, I SUGGEST LISTENING TO HIM. YOU'LL NOT ONLY FIND HIM TO BE AN AMAZING GUITARIST (especially for 1930's), BUT HE ALSO HAD A RATHER HAUNTING VOICE AS WELL. IF YOU'RE GOING TO PAY HOMAGE TO ANY MUSICIAN, TRY THE LEGEND, THE MYTH, THE MAN - ROBERT JOHNSON.
I like all kinds of music, Blues,Robert Johnson, Al Jolson, Ella Fitzgerald,Ragtime & bigband, Armik, Jason Becker, Mortician,The Beatles,Pink Floyd, Ozzy, The Doors, Malevalent Creation, Slayer, Mozart, Frank Sinatra, John "Juke" Logan, Doug MacCleod, ,Deicide, Creedance Clearwater Revival,Black Sabbath, Lynard Skynard, Testament, Iron Maiden, Muddy Waters, The Beatles, Motley Crue, Defleshed, Nema, Metallica, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse,Skid Row, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Megadeth, Shadows Fall, Morbid Angel, Rise,Pantera,Children of Bodom, Steve Vai,Black Label Society, Vinnie Moore, Suffocation, Burial, Al Di Meola, The Allman Brothers,classical, and EVRYTHING and ANYTHING in between,bassically anything that has the word rock or metal - heavy metal, soft rock, classic rock, hair metal,speed metal,thrash metal,death metal.....the list goes on beyond forever. I can find at least one thing I like in any song, weather it's guitar riff, a drum beat, or vocal pattern. I truly love it all from the 1700's classical, to 1920's 30's, 40's, 50,s, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's! Music is my drug of choice. I live to play live!

Movies:

I have a few favorites that I can think of at the moment Primal Fear,Murder in the First, Young Guns,The Wizard of Oz, ,Braveheart, and the original Texas Chainsaw Masacre ., The Crossroads (NO NOT THE LAME ASS BRAT-NY SPEARS MOVIE) Another topic I like alot of, I really dig horror movies.

Television:

I don't really watch to much T.V. Nowadays, but if I had to pick 1... I think it would be either the Discovery Channel, Nick @ Night , A&E or TLC!

Books:

I don't really read books to often, I just get to bored with them to fast (I think it's A.D.D.)LOL! However I'm currently reading "The Monster Hunter's Hanbook". I am a Magazine freak, Pit Magazine, Metal Maniacs, Guitar World, Maxim, Tattoo, Revolver, Easyriders, American Choppers, LA WEEKLY, The Recycler, any music Magazine is cool with me. The Satanic bible Playboy is cool for the articals - YEAH RIGHT!!!

Heroes:

MOM & DAD, Ursula and also my band members past & present -without them I AM NOTHING! Ultimate Warrior, LOL Zakk Wylde, Glenn Benton, Ozzy, Tommy Lee, But if you want to know my super hero would have to be Superman or The Hulk!
