If you choose to own a car...
Keep rock salt in the trunk with some cardboard. And put the wipers up before a snow storm. 🤞😁

Thank you! But I can't take credit for the recordings.
At that time the bass was being recorded by Eli and Nick. It was a timing issue of member changes.
I was mainly a live musician but I hope you got to see me play. There was a lot of flare I added. (Or at least I think) The tappy part of Spectral Rider could've been only heard live but I think it did add to the song not just my ego. (I suck at tapping)
I hope you guys still support them and I love Iron Will's album, it's sick and they just released The Worldwide Resistance in 21.
Thanks again for the support. If you want to hear more of my playing check out the Shroud demo, Crawl because you're worthless, and Voidbloom The Tongues of God. (None of it is like Ravage)

Holy shit! They've got some bangers on there for sure. Thank you for the recommendation.
Also, I think there may be some other bands or groups that use the name Voidbloom. The album is called The Tongues of God

Thank you so much! Awesome to see people still appreciate that style.
As for jamming.. I think they still get together but it seems like they are more focused on Iron Will at the moment.
We haven't spoke in a while and I think that's just life getting in the way. No hate. People move and lose touch. I still reach out every now and then. All solid guys.
The last thing I did was with a different group called Voidbloom. If you like the angry mathcore style you might check that out too. It's on Spotify and YouTube.

Ravage
I was their bass player during the original Spectral Rider recording and I ended up going out on tour with them for The End of Tomorrow.
If you did a search on YouTube for anything I'd be the one wearing the death metal shirts.

It was a big learning experience for me.
I got into a band with minor local success. We played gigs frequently and had some good shows and a lot of bad too.
We already had an album recorded and released and we had just finished a new one that we were shopping around to labels.
Well one bit!
And it was the almighty Metal Blade!
Before that opportunity knocked I swore I would never sign with them. I had heard a couple horror stories that just made think I'd never want to do it.
So once that offer came we were all jumping around like little kids who got promised ice cream. The contract came and we read through it and boy was it not what we thought.
Although, we could have gotten a better deal down the line if we played our cards right. I've met Brian and he was a really cool guy and I don't blame him for it. He was taking a chance and we didn't do all that well in the end. The New Wave of Thrash fad ended and we got the boot.
Fun ride though. After that there were a lot of parties and overall good feelings. But it was kind of swift...
Edit: Some spelling
Clarification: I didn't want to go too into detail about our contract because I felt it would be bad form. They didn't hold a gun to our heads so that's on us.
But at that time CD sales started the heavy decline that it's come to today. Even then the record company takes a large amount for themselves and the band has to hustle for their share.
