[QUOTE="theaccurseddrummer:808092"]I'm too old to go all the way back, but here's a little bit, from newest to oldest (kinda, and somewhat in order.) Here are the bands I'm in now... 2008-present - Withered Sun (drums) Melodic death metal, heavily influenced by At the Gates, old In Flames, Dark Tranquility, etc. Fun stuff, and I get to play in the band with the former drummer (he moved to guitar) which is unusual, but cool. I played a couple shows filling in for them and when The Accursed and Polaris tanked, I had some free time to do this full time. Solid dudes. Come and see us this Thursday at Ralph's (9/4/08) 2005 (in theory) 2007 (in actual practice) - present - The Death Perception (vocals) Mark pretty accurately described it above. The recording lineup was originally just me and Mark, but I figured we'd hit the studio with the lineup we're going to be playing with, as well as guest vocals by everyone on earth. Live we'll probably have Rich Horror filling in any absent vocalist spots, but anyone who records a song with us and shows up to one of our shows and wants to sing their shit live is welcome. If there's a song missing a guest singer, I'll fix that before we record. 2004-present - Smite the Righteous (drums/last minute vocals for the demo) I don't know what you'd call it, melodic death/thrash/metal, whatever. Anyway, I joined Shadows of the Unseen (thought I was going to be trying out on guitar because Ryan quit, but there were two Ryans in the band, and I was replacing the drummer, haha.) and we had a handful of shows, and started recording a demo with Oscar from Beyond the Embrace when internal BS put the singer and guitarist at odds and we had to let the singer go and record the demo without him. We changed the name to STR and I re-wrote all of the band's lyrics. Without a singer I ended up singing on that demo as well, and after that and we quickly got Pam to fill the vocal spot. Things went cool for a while, we played some shows and wrote some more stuff, then Pam quit. We took some time off to find a singer but had little luck for a while, so Ryan got bored with that and he quit too. We tried out a bunch of dudes for both vocal and guitar spots, picked the best for the job and they kick ass. We started getting heavier and faster, starting to get some grind and more death metal influence and wrote even better music. We're in the studio now recording 9 songs with Eliot from Composted, and will be playing some shows soon. Here are the bands I used to be in... 2006-2008 - Polaris (drums) Progressive metal, kinda tech, kinda groovy. I joined in the summer/fall of 06 and we got to work on working out the old material and writing new stuff. We recorded a CD together called The Human Illusion and broke up about 2 weeks before The Accursed. Sad to see it come to an end, but these things happen. 2001-2008 - The Accursed (drums) Melodic Black/Thrash-metal with the most diverse array of influences I've ever experienced. We started playing a week after 9/11, so that's what we talked about a lot of the time, in the beginning. Our low point was probably our last show and the CD that should've been great but turned out sub-par, and our high point would be playing Milwaukee Metalfest, New Jersey Metal Meltdown and Minneapolis Mayhem, playing with hundreds of amazing and huge bands and seeing parts of the world most of us wouldn't have seen otherwise. This was the worst band breakup I ever had to endure, we were together for a long time and it took up quite a large portion of my life. I made life decisions based on this band, and it was sad to see it end. Still kinda is, but when it's time to move on, get moving. 1997-2001 - Again Without Feeling (drums) You could say this was metalcore before it was popular, we kinda made people angry, haha. We had a decent following locally, played a ton of shows that always ended in chaos, but couldn't keep a solid lineup. We recorded a full length CD with our first singer, and a 3 song EP that never got released with out 2nd. We went through half a dozen bass players and after our 2nd singer flaked, one of the founding guitarists quit and we couldn't keep a bass player, so my brother Jon moved to vocals and Metal George picked up the bass and we started The Accursed. Prior to all that, I spent 4 years in the Air Force and played in two bands that were short lived but fun: 1995-97 - Blindside (vocals) (No, not [I]that[/I] Blindside.) Kinda Deftones meets Snapcase, if that's possible. You could tell by the vocal style that I listened to too much Earth Crisis and Deadguy at the time. 1994-96 - Vent (drums) Sludgy hard rock, Southern influenced, kinda sounded like a very gay COC meets Crowbar because our singer was on Jonathan Davis' dick, which was kinda terrible. We were forced to break up when the singer split town after stealing a ton of money from the dude he worked for. Prior to the AF, I was in a ton of shitty bands through all of high school and junior high. I was playing for the marching, concert, stage, show and jazz bands in high school, and outside those I played everything from punk to metal, and even a semi-popular alt-rock band that was a whole lotta ugh, but I've been playing since maybe 87? Gigs as little as backyard BBQ's to the Milwaukee Metalfest, all over the place. Good times, and bad.[/QUOTE]
