About Me

Originally from Penzance, Cornwall. Presently land-locked in Manchester persuing a career as a guitarist in Gone Til Winter (check them out on MySpace)!My music is everything! I love all sorts of heavy metal, heavy rock, thrash, death and hardcore. I go to gigs all the time up here in Manchester - I should have a season ticket for Manchester Academy!Friends are of upmost importance. I've met so many cool people while at Uni in Manchester.Absolutely love goin out in the city and drinkin with my mates at Jilly's Rock World.Other than that, I like to write academic studies about anything to do with heavy metal. I'm having a chapter published next year on mosh pit homosociality (!?). Please send me e-mails about anything to do with metal so I can get some cool quotes for my research. One day they'll end up in a book somewhere.

My Interests

Anything to do with guitars and heavy metal. I'm a complete anorak for music and musical equipment and can bore anyone to death with my knowledge.I write academic studies on heavy metal related subjects. Right now I'm finishing a chapter on moshpit culture which is being published this year in a book of collected studies.Please send me messages/comments about anything to do with moshing or moshpit related experiences. I'd love to hear about it.I've also recently got into mountain biking and jogging. Getting outdoors is great when the weather is nice.I plan to learn to speak the Cornish Language. As a native from Kernow I think it is very important to preserve the heritage of one of the most amazing Celtic nations. So far my vocabulary in Cornish is a bit limited, so if there are any other Cornish speakers out there, please drop me some hints. I might even form the first ever Cornish language Death Metal bands in the future!

I'd like to meet:

Lots and lots of people because I'm really nosy! I really don't want to meet online prostitutes and people who are only concerned with bumping up there friend counters.

Music:

Exclusively Heavy Metal and Heavy Metal derivatives (including Hardcore, Grindcore, Death Metal, Black Metal, Thrash Metal, Speed Metal, but DEFINITELY NOT EMO!!!!) Gone Til Winter, Opeth, Iron Maiden, Chimaira, Judas Priest, Metallica, God Forbid, Machine Head, Trivium, Tool, Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, Fear Factory, Soilwork, City of God, Still Remains, Megadeth, Lamb Of God, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Reflux, Byzantine, Slayer, InSilence, Bullet For My Valentine, Pantera, All that Remains, Twelve Tribes, Ozzy, Def Leppard, Evil Weevil, Deicide, Isis, Profane, Zombie Reaper, Sylosis, Sharp End First, Earth Crisis, The Hollow Earth Theory, Dio, Queensryche, Dream Theater, Firewind, Porcupine Tree, Daath, Despised Icon, Anal Cunt, Pink Floyd, Motorhead, Septic Death, the list goes on! NOTE TO BANDS: PLEASE DO NOT ADD ME IF YOU'RE AN EMO BAND, INDIE BAND, HIP-HOP OUTFIT, DANCE MUCIC GROUP, OR ANYTHING THAT ISN'T REMOTELY RELATED TO ANY OF THE BANDS THAT I HAVE INDICATED ABOVE. I'M NOT INTERESTED!!!

Movies:

Sin City, Fight Club, Requiem for a dream, LOTR Trilogy, Star Wars films, anything epic and action packed. Also, sick comedy films of all descriptions (American Pie not included). Sick horror stuff is probably my favourite though. Films like The Thing, Bad Taste, Brain Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Saw, Hostel, The Ring, The Fog (80s version), Hellraiser, The Hills Have Eyes, Friday the 13th (all of them), Nightmare on Elm Street (all of them, especially 3), basically any sick, twisted, cheap, tacky, low budget, video nasties I can get my hands on.

Television:

Only if I have to. All the great comedy stuff rules as well as my favourite shows from the 80s e.g. The A-Team, Knight Rider, Airwolf etc.

Books:

I've got fairly limited taste in reading. I tend to find one author that I like and then try to read all of his or her books in one go. Primarily I like horror writers but I'm also into sci-fi, thrillers and comedy novels. Band biographies and musicological studies are also very interesting, as they tend to give me plenty of food for thought when it comes to writing my own works.

Heroes:

Anyone who has the strength and determination to overcome tremendous obstacles without demanding unprecedented amounts of credit in return.
