-Weapons Of Mass Destruction (1998-2000)-Guitar-Terrible wannabe Metallica band, but they were the only kids in my school that listened to any form of metal that wanted to be in a band. We covered For Whom The Bell Tolls and it was horrific. We also had 3 guitarists, 2 of which also sang...terribly. We played tons of parties and school gigs though, so it was a good experience for a first band.

-Skeletor (2000)-Guitar-Weapons Of Mass Destruction decided we needed a better name, and Skeletor was that name. We had a He-Man & The Masters Of The Universe bedsheet as a backdrop. We lasted about 3 months, and I don't think we ever wrote anything differently from WMD, haha.

-Upon Crimson Wings (2000-2004)-Guitar/Backing Vocals-When I met Dave Maggot in my junior year of high school, I was exposed to a wider variety of metal, and more quality metal at that. At first we were called In God's Descent, but decided that sucked. Then we called it Fatal Embrace, and realized it was already a band. Finally we landed on UCW after a story that Dave had written. It transformed from blackened death metal to melodic death metal, then before we broke up we added more brutal and thrashy elements. We may be doing a reunion CD since we never got to end the way we should have.

-Sedate (2002)-Guitar-Dave Maggot's younger brother Joe had a band called Sedate and were hurting for members. Dave and I decided to help them out a bit, but it didn't work out for us in the longrun. At the time it was black metal with some Gothenburg style death metal mixed in.

-Curbstomp Castration (2002-present)-Guitar/Vocals/Drums/Fake French Accent-One day Dave put a sign on my amp in our old UCW practice space that said "Fuck with anything and you get a curbstomp castration." Being the bored weirdos that we were, we decided it was a good name for a goregrind band from Quebec. Thus we spoke with fake French accents and everyone just moved around on all instruments. There were/are limitless members; anyone could be in it at any given time. We only did improv sets and they sucked so bad they were good. Eventually we started jamming this stuff out with good ol' MSD and maybe if we're bored we'll record something someday.

-Terminally Your Aborted Ghost (2002/2005-2008)-Guitar/Vocals-Originally started as somewhat of a fun project between 3 straightedge dudes that worshipped CODC and Discordance Axis, then eventually turning into weird, slammy death metal with grind aspects, TYAG actually went somewhere when it probably shouldn't have, haha. We were really doing it as a half-joke but it caught on. Since Devon (vocals) was a little too gung-ho about it, I left since my main focus was UCW. In 2005, the "classic" lineup as some people call it fell apart and I was offered to join again. We did a tour, various in and out of state shows, an EP then went on indefinite hiatus until we got a sweet record deal in 2007. That fell through and then broke up for 8 million reasons.

-Strappado (2004-2005)-Guitar/Gurgles-Evan (Sexcrement) and I met at Mass Art in 2001 and always wanted to do a project together. After UCW broke up and his band Veritas (formerly If Tomorrow Comes) broke up, we started doing what would become Strappado, a technical death metal band. We recorded a 2 song demo with Darren Cesca (Goratory, ex-Arsis/Burn In Silence/Pillory), then put the project on hold to do TYAG full time. Now Strappado is back in action, sans-MFR since I have 10,000 other things going on.

-Sexcrement (2005-2006)-Guitar-When TYAG went on indefinite hiatus, 3 of us started Sexcrement, groovy as fuck death metal, with Adam from Goratory (since all of Goratory was busy with Burn In Silence) and Josh Staples. Obviously we had a fanbase before playing our first show since we had local legend Adam Mason fronting the band, haha. We played some of the most ridiculous shows ever, and quitting the band was the hardest decision ever, but it was inevitable due to the amount of travel I had to do, along with time taken away from what is supposed to be my career as an illustrator, haha.

-The Death Perception (2006-present)-Guitar/Backing Vocals-Chris Helme (Smite The Righteous, ex-The Accursed/Polaris, etc.) had mentioned he wanted to do some sort of grind project with me a year or two prior to actually starting to write. We finally found the time to do it, and have written 14 out of a proposed 24 songs for a CD whenever we can get it done. One of the key aspects to this project is the slew of guest vocalists; I think there are only 3 or 4 songs that do not have a guest vocalist.

-The Body Farm (2006-present)-Guitar/Vocals-When I quit Sexcrement I was deadset on not playing music for a while, but it had to be done. Overall The Body Farm is experimental metal, and will most likely be more of a studio project since bassist Max Lavelle is now in Despised Icon and Eliot (drums) and I have Composted and a slew of other things going on.

-Composted (2007-present)-Guitar/Potty Mouth/Live Samples-Composted is the bread and butter of my musical history so far; every aspect of being in a band that I love is there: being an ass, not giving a fuck about what we do, playing decent shows, getting people to have a good time, and most of all play slammy/groovy/dynamic/somewhat technical music without having to try to hard. Plus Rich Horror ate 2 cakes on stage once.

-Super Secret Project (???-???)-???-??? MYSTERY, huzzah!
