First Impressions

Breaking The Wheel

I would be lying if I wasn't impressed with the new Eliminator album. To think that I had a hand in such a masterful slab of metal is mind-boggling. It is a modern classic that rivals not only the thrash and extreme metal of today but can sit along the best of what yesteryear has provided us as well. Each of the seven songs is a auditory template to one's demise, hatred and anger. Equal parts Ride the Lightning, Peace Sells... But Who's Buying, Agent Orange and Soulside Journey, Breaking The Wheel is utterly devastating. Its heaviness is unrivaled. It will grab you and crush you in an unrelenting barrage of evil and despair and tormenting power. It pulls you in every direction, stretching your senses. It is more than simply music. It is the essence.

Lethal Strike

Bayonne's Lethal Strike are currently doing some recording with me at the Contaminated Tones Complex. More information when the recording is finished.

News: July

Due to recent and planned future endeavors I decided to manage my activities and allow people to see what I have been up to through a blog as opposed to a myspace or some other friend-sharing network. While there is little here at the moment I do hope that in the future months I will be able to provide some content that may be of interest to people searching the deep abyss of the world wide web. Hopefully this will be presented through interviews and album reviews.

Recording:

In lieu of the completed work on Eliminator's first album. I am currently looking for interested parties in New Jersey who are looking for somewhere to do quick recording work. I am mostly interested in doing Demo's and EP's due to time constraints, however should the opportunity arise I am also willing to work on a full length. Before people begin contacting me and asking me to do symphonic shit and turning their pile of crap into a mound of gold, let me just say that I am merely a vessel to capture what talent - or lack thereof - you have. I am not going to make a terrible musician sound like Jimi Hendrix. Don't expect to receive an album sounding like the newest Dimmu Borgir or Disturbed or some other over-produced heap of refuse. My aim is help fledgling metalheads record metal as it was meant to be heard - in your face, natural, aggressive, no holds barred, thrashing, brutalizing, powerful walls of passionate art.
