Thought I"d add some pix from bands I"ve played with. First up, the band GNOSTIC featuring Steve Flynn from Atheist. I had the honor of playing on the first GNOSTIC demo that eventually led to them getting signed with Seasons of Mist Records. I wrote harmony rythm and separate lead guitar parts on the SPLINTERS OF CHANGE demo. Here are some pix of the recording sessions and an early live show.

Recording a MASSIVE drum kit in the studio.

I helped my buddy Matt (indieatl.com) mic up a huge drum kit in the DAEL studio. Here is a pic. The recording sounded great! more to come.

It was a real honor to play with someone like STEVE FLYNN in Gnostic. After hearing his drum work in ATHEIST, I just blown away. He is honestly one of the best drummers I've ever heard play.

The singer, and bass player, were from another band I was in called CAUSTIC THOUGHT. There have been more line up changes since, in both bands. But that's how things go
