About Me

************************************************************ ************************************************************ ****I am the drummer of the 80's heavy metal / shock rock band Impaler which was originally on Combat Records. Although not an original member, I have been in the band for close to a decade now and have recorded 4 studio CDs with Impaler called "One Nation Under Ground" (2000), "Old School Ghouls" (2002), "Habeas Corpus" (2005) and the yet unreleased "Cryptozoology" hopefully out by year's end. We also have 2 DVDs called "20 years Undead" (2004) and a recent DVD titled "House Band At The Funeral Parlor". Last but not least, our live CD called "Alive Beyond The Grave" available now! There are also many compilations and 7" vinyls, namely "The Mutants Rise Again" from Horror Records in Denmark, released recently as a picture disc! Of course, our newest one which is a split 7" with our friends Black Market Fetus called "Impaled By Metal". I was born the exact same month and year as Dimebag Darrell which can't be a bad thing. At an early age, I was baptized in the blood of horror movies and heavy metal!!***************************************************** ************************************************************ *********** N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N»-(¯..v..¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook «-(¯..v..¯)-« ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ****IMPALER - THE LAST RIDE (PROMOTIONAL VIDEO (C)2006) ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ****
