About Me

Currently Dark Rain's co-rhythm and lead guitarist, and as of late a new project recording November 2009 called National Harvester featuring ex In Loving Memory/ Complexia 2 Lineup/ and Dark Rain Members, Chris Williams, and Greg Klien. They are currently in the market for a vocalist to round out the new lineup and record thier debut CD.
All starting with a small town band called Complexia originating in 1994 between school mates and finally ending after succumbing to repeated lineup changes in 2001. The last lineup of Complexia branched off to form Lost Conscience in 2003 of which Eric did time in from 2005-2007 recording thier first ep in 2006 titled Walking Over Sheol.
In late 2007, Eric joined Dark Rain. He recorded 5 tracks into the bands new release and then abruptly quit, after disagreements with other members and being unhappy with the booking at the time, in early 2008 to form his own project. Roseblood (The melodic metal project that was cut short), started with recording sessions by his lonesome at TnT Productions in West Bath for almost 7 months but finally formed a lineup after neumerous guests tracking and collaborating and a number of tryouts for various positions in the group. Roseblood as a band and not Eric's solo project, (Which is what he was striving for in the first place but after so much time spent and still no product or band), released a two song self titled demo in early 2009, but the band's lineup was again plagued with various problems. Contractual and non contractual obligations, session musicians pulling from the project, Tearing down and rebuilding thier first release because of personell changes, schedualing and other related personal problems with drugs and alcohol, the two-song self titled, 'Roseblood' was all the band had strength for. Eric decided towards Roseblood's demise to reconcile with his former mates in Dark Rain.
After playing the summer in Dark Rain around Maine, drummer Chris Williams and Eric started writing material of thier own in spare time and formed the group, National Harvester. National Harvester goes into the studio in October 2009, to start recording thier debut while Dark Rain goes on the road around Maine to support thier debut being released likely in late October.
