ABOUT

A guitarist of 14 years, geared mostly towards more aggressive and rhythmic styles, but not unfamiliar with intricate melodic work.
Shifting gradually towards being a vocalist, though with little live experience as of yet.

I can listen to most music and find something to appreciate, but as far as what music I like to play I find it easier to be more interested in the aggressive and dramatic. Death Metal, Deathcore, Prog Metal... Those sorts of sounds catch my ear and provide satisfaction.
As far as what I write? Well, that's a different story. I trash more material than anything else, because I'm just never happy with it.

As long as I have fun with something, I'm not against it.
