Biography

From Light to Dark

Progressive metal and alternative metal are the machinery. Everything else is just noise around it.

I write about the things people usually soften before saying aloud: uncomfortable truths, human contradiction, isolation, hypocrisy, belief, consequence and the darker cogs rotating underneath ordinary life.

I have principles. They are not available for negotiation.

You do not have to agree with them.

That would be an extremely inefficient requirement.

I am literal, occasionally dry, frequently misunderstood and generally uninterested in pretending otherwise.

Expect music. Lyrics. Production thoughts. Observations. Questions with inconvenient answers. Possibly the occasional Victorian industrial contraption.

Welcome to my workshop.
