About Me


I am a musician & writer from Ontario Canada. You can read more about me at http://www.darrenboyd.com/.I play guitar for Ottawa metal band THE wHORROR. The song you have been listening to is "From the inside out" from our upcoming CD, Creeping Beauty(2008). Check out our page at www.myspace.com/thewhorrorcanada and befriend us.The version of this song you are hearing is a rough mix, and the full-length CD should be released throughout the universe by the summer of 2008. It will change the world! Ok, not likely, but I think it's pretty cool..Let me know what YOU think!I also started my own commercial reptile breeding business in 1995, and produce over 700 high quality animals each year. ('Cause you never know when you need a good snake!)My other job is freelance writing for various magazines. I have done very well with that over the past 4 + years and hope to branch out and get some fiction work published as well.

My Interests

Reptiles and all other animals, music and all other entertainment, horror, Herping (Google it, it's not what you think...)

I'd like to meet:

Murphy, so I can kick him in the balls (I refer to Murphy's Law).I've already met Alice Cooper, so I think it is impossible to go up from there...but I'd like to talk to Jim Steinman and Marilyn Manson!

Music:

I have diverse taste in music...Too many to list; but here is a sample: Wednesday 13, Alice Cooper, KISS, Motley Crue, Murderdolls, Lordi, Boston, Savage Garden, Robin Black, Megadeth, Prince, Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13, Fefe Dobson, Paul Gilbert, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Shakira, Meatloaf, Lisa Loeb, AC/DC, and much more...Sometimes I make mixed CD's to listen to while I'm driving with artists ranging from Cradle of Filth to the Bangles to Lacuna Coil and Pink Floyd. Oh and maybe Pink. And possibly Pretty Boy Floyd. Could be anything, but I'm not crazy about rap...unless it is creative and original, but I don't see much of that in the genre, sadly.
