Grindhead Jim (Cardiac Arrest)

About Me

Well, I've been at this metal thing for twenty years now (holy fuck, has it been that long?). After having taken a self-imposed hiatus for a few years, I'm back to playing drums semi-pro. My resume reads like a rap sheet: Demise, Socio-Deviate, Obstinate Direction, De Profundis, Blood of Kingu, Lethal Prayer, Mi'Gauss, Sathanas, Remain Calm, Throbbing Donut, Eternal Winter, Destined to Devastate, Captain K-Man and the Wallcrawlers, D.O.T.A.C., Funerus, Axiom, and now, Cardiac Arrest(check us out at Cardiac Arrest Offical Website and Cardiac Arrest on MySpace . I also have my own website, .50 Caliber Drummer . I recently joined Chicago Grind powerhouse DOBERMAN on vocals (and session drums until we find a live drummer).
My daylife hasn't been too shabby either. In 2004, I finished a 4.5 year stint with the mighty United States Marine Corps. I did some great things and met some great people, despite the fact that the administration of BUSH was in power. I now work for TigerDirect as a Corporate Account Manager [http://biz.tigerdirect.com].
I am getting accustomed to single life again. I live in Aurora, IL, USA, and life is good. I can't complain... much. Give me a week; I'll find something.
.. You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism.

Decent people into thinking for themselves and being METAL. Oh yeah, if you have beer to share, that's a plus.

PROUDLY ENDORSED BY:

What metal band are you?
Death
You are Death! You are one of the key inventors of modern day death metal. With every album you've always gotten better. You're well respected in the music industry. The metal world wept when your band creator passed away from a brain tumor. Symbolism is an important property in your music.
