I'm a songwriter and recording artist

My latest work is the Magnalith, "Oblivion" EP (all instruments except drums) and playing bass Kerretta's in-production fifth album. I've also recently re-released the Decortica albums.

Magnalith — post-metal, progressive metal

Magnalith is dense but concise; expressionistic but corporeal music. Tangentially metal, curiously harmonic. Unbridled structural deviations see handbrake slides into weird, cinematic passages that lurch back into leviathan riffs.

Decortica — alternative rock, progressive rock

Decortica indulges in concept albums and moody deviations from hard rock. The songs exhibit a range of dynamics and effects, balancing heavy riffs, ambiance and harmony.

Domes — post-metal, space rock

This is metal with elements of space rock and post-hardcore. Not overstating the musicality nor telling the story plainly, the songs are conceptually deep and artistically broad. Laconic run-times are no less elaborate in traversing post-metal tropes and thematic landscapes.
