Boris has spent the last 20 years spreading horror and chaos with his music. First, with his hardcore punk band The Splatterpunks(1989-1999). The band released 3 full length albums and a 76 track anthology in 1997. Next, Boris brought horror to the masses with his pop punk band The Performing Dead(2000). Mild success came by way of Boris' next band Hallowmas(formed 2001). Hallowmas has released 2 world wide CDs, 2 indie singles, 2 indie EPs, & a split full length cd. The band was featured in Meat Socket magazine twice as well as Rue Morgue magazine twice. In 2005 they were included on an Antidote Records compilation and were in heavy rotation on Rue Morgue Radio as well as many European radio stations. Other notable moments: Boris wrote and performed the Rue Morgue Radio show theme(2005), Boris was interviewed on Rue Morgue Radio(2005), Boris scored Bill Hinzman's stage adaptation of Night Of The Living Dead(2003), Boris made guest appearances with Necrophagia(Goblins Be Thine 2005), Nokturne(Kruelty Kampaign 2005), Morgue Wagon(2005), Garbage Pail Kids(Lovers Lane 2005), and sang for side project The Autumn Dead(2003-2004). In 2006 Boris released his first solo album titled "Season Of Death: The Last Halloween." Boris rounded out 2007 with a barrage of projects: Lupine Reich with artist Bo Webber and Spiricom. Boris also finished up his first GRAVEYARD CROONER cd in 2007 that features cover songs and originals in the vein of crooning, rockabilly, ballad, lounge eerie horror. 2008 Projects include scoring a Rue Morgue Radio promo short and releasing the final Hallowmas album. Boris is also working with his new band SEASON OF SIN with former Hallowmas guitarist, Damien Matthews.
