Descent -96-03, This project started with me in my apartment in Philly. I started writing shit, 4 track tascam, shit drum machine, my Charvel Model 6 that I've had since I was 15. Never really went anywhere until I moved back here. In 98 I got a spot at the foster building, found a singer and a drummer. Drummer left cause his girl complained too much about him spending more time with the band than her. Got a new drummer, who ended up helping a few guys break into my space and stole most of my shit. At that time I was trying to write heavy shit cause my influences were thrash and death from the 80's. Everyone else though wanted to do nu-metal. The bands that directly surrounded us at the time were, Comic Book Superheroes, Tung, and directly above us was Room With A View . Man we stuck out like a sore thumb. So the band went on it's first hiatus.

Round 2- I met a drummer in dec 00 had a spot up in peabody, female singer, shithead bass player. everyone left except for drummer. I started sing and playing guitar. The music, again was not what I wanted to do. The drummer couldn't play metal drums, the stuff we ended up doing sound like a cross between Type-o and Alice in chains, still could have had worse influences but not what I wanted to do. In 02 we got a bassist that wanted to turn us into Ra, I said oh NO FUCKING WAY. Your out. Early 03 we got a guitarist who was far better than any other previous guitarist and I started writing more tech stuff and my drum programing got better to the point my drummer couldn't play it. Band went on hiatus again for a LONG time.

During the first hiatus I tried out for Dogfight. I hated the music and the douchestains from the sec. I walked in the room. Glad I didn't do that.

either 03 or 04 I tried out for Larissa's band Hekseri, I really liked what was going on but it ended up, I think, that I just couldn't do the drive.

at the same time I joined Systematic Chaos, that was a train wreck. It was a revolving door of old and new members leaving then coming back, personality issues, inflated egos and lot's of drugs.

I said fuck it all at this point, but somewhere around that time I was in contact with Jim from BOE and I was planning on joining them until Jim basically told me that it was a joke band, and no they weren't looking to get signed or tour, that they do it for fun. I was looking for something more serious. (I still have the e-mails)

Nov 05 - May 06 I was in a band that I can't say that I was in, nor did I write any songs with said band and no I did not play 2 shows with them or spend an ass load of money on this band. Look at my sig, you can figure it out.

At this point I swore off ever being in a band again. In June 06 I wrote Churchburner and Black. 2 songs that are on the forthcoming Descent album, but I sat on them until oct 07, I just figured I try 1 more time, this being the last hurrah. I put up a post on here and Brandon from BOE responded and now the realization of everything I have ever wanted to do with Descent is coming to fruition. This def. the heaviest, fastest, nastiest shit I have ever written, with 1 VERY OLD SCHOOL black metal tune (something I have always wanted to do). That said we are looking for a guitarist to help complete the album. All the songs are written, most of it is tracked, B is laying bass lines down, just looking for a lead guitarist who digs the tunes, wants to write some solos. Free practice space, food etc. etc.
