About Me

This profile was edited with Thomas' Myspace Editor V3.2
As some of you may or may not already know, there is a remix contest being hosted by Nine Inch Nails through MySpace. I have been working on several mixes under the alias The Abortion Twin . Please add me to your friends list & RATE my mix if you haven't already. It would mean the world to me. Doing well in this little competition would look pretty good in my portfolio & possibly get a millisecond of recognition from the deity himself (Trent). I know, I know... I seem rather pathetic. LOL. Thank you very, very much.
Richard Smyth, Jr. is a veteran musician/audio engineer from Tampa, FL. A former member of the Fucks & current drummer for CIO, Richard music in the vein of any shape or form he damn well pleases.

THE LATEST
After a long hiatus from writing & recording, due to my extensive work with CIO, I am finally back with updates & info on my long awaited full length.
First, as anyone who remembers the other material I've recorded would know, there's been a rather drastic change in my style. The vibe is the same old dark shit anyone would expect... However, I've grown sick & fucking tired of conventional song structure. To be quite honest, I'm not even sure which direction most of this shit is going... Just be prepared for anything in this sonic journey & keep an open mind.
Second, I've been rapidly slapping together an additional project. It is my ballsiest move yet. I've decided to take a stab at "metal" if you will. What started out as my own vision of grindcore turned into what I could only classify as "black metal"... Don't fear, children... It sounds nothing like the lame, uninspired capitalist bullshit that bands like Dimmu Borgir & Opeth have released. No bandwagon jumping. Pure hate that only an AOL Tech Support consultant could produce(lol!!!). I'll keep you posted.
Last, "Blood Red Moon" has officially been released as a single. An alternate vocal mix is included as a "B-side", along with an unreleased track from the "Billy Runs On" Soundtrack sessions. The single is available for free upon request.
