I'm originally from Iowa, I play in a few local bands. I have a wonderful girlfriend. I like metal, and shitty movies.
My name is Matthew Thomas(matthew thomas ferrie to some)I'm a pretty straight forward person. I play bass for A Vision Grotesque, Honest Engine, Snakedriver, The Yellow Zebra Conspiracy, and Raining Red. I really enjoy playing music with the best friends I could ask for. I'm not an elitist prick. I don't care if it's death metal, black metal, stoner metal, swedish metal, or whatever. I believe in people being allowed an opinion, but I have a huge issue with self righteous people. I'm glad you can think for yourself and more power to you for doing so, but I promise that I don't care that you can't accept another opinion.
