03/19/09 - I'm almost 19! Next Monday is my birthday, and I'm getting the greatest gift of all... money to fund recording! I'm finally going back into the studio... I'll be updating my page frequently. On a related note, I just finished my new background picture. Check it out :)

Well for starters my name's Andrew Edward Raines II. I'm 18 years old (born March 23rd in '90) and I live in the heart of California's beloved North Hollywood. I'm currently OUT of high school and working towards a degree. My parents say I'm of White and Filipino descent, but I'd say White and Mexican. I enjoy a wide variety of music, from old-school thrash to electro. I consider myself to be a very talented and experienced guitarist, but I'm NOWHERE near the best. My philosophy is that every guitarist has his or her own style, and they are forever entitled to such. I encourage every type of musician no matter what the genre.
A Little Bit About Anchored Cross: Anchored Cross is my Thrash Metal solo project, established in October '06. I'm inspired by numerous artists like Dave Mustaine, Marty Friedman, Alex Skolnick, Michael Romeo, Uli Jon Roth, and K.K. Downing. My passion lies in music and it's just what I do best. I'm always striving to achieve a different and distinct sound.
Anywho, thanks for taking the time to check out my stuff. I hope you enjoy my songs! If you have any questions or comments feel free to message me at any time.
