about

My 3rd album I've done as a solo guitarist and musician.

My idea behind this album was to get into a darker, more ambient style of music, while still incorporating elements from both my older and newer techniques and playing styles. Easily my longest album so far, this one comes in at nearly 2 and a half hours. This album is the culmination of everything I stand for as a guitarist: power, passion, emotion, expression, and an undying dedication to metal.
