My first solo album is called Bad Brain and it’ll be out on July 28th. It took several years and a few other quests, but it’s finally done and I’m very proud of it.

The album tackles the overall theme of problems in the brain. The songs are inspired, in order, by anxiety, tech addiction, depression, anger, tinnitus, psychopathy, isolation, paranoia, and defiance. Sonically it’s some of the weirdest, most extreme progressive metal I have to offer (for now). Dissonant and melodic. I hope it makes you feel weird.

Many good friends helped me make this a reality. The four incredible guest musicians elevated the music beyond what I could imagine. Brendan MacAllister once again provided the perfect artwork. Tyler Fritzel lent me his ear on the mix. And then there’s Jackson Guitars, The String Source, and Stone Age Guitar Picks who support the heck out of me as an artist. Thank you all.

Lots more to say in the coming month. Cheers everyone!
