"David J. Gibbs' demo gives such a pleasure when hearing it for the first time. It gets your attention. Nowadays it's really rare that something hits you so hard at first listening. Total respect for the music!"
Riku Hopeakoski - Catamenia

Henrik Flyman - Evil Masquerade
"I wasn't expecting much before listening to "The Beginning" but boy was I wrong because from the outset this release drips with quality"
Powerplay Magazine
"Well produced, well-written and maturely executed black metal with a heathen, pagan discourse flowing through its veins"

I'm a musician from Coventry, England; born in 1990. I record for my own solo project and recently started creating music for the media.
In October 2007, I wrote, recorded, mixed, mastered and produced my first EP, The Beginning, featuring a guest solo by Pete Hawthorne from Warpath on the track "Pray". It was released in January 2008, and began to receive an overwhelming response from radio stations, magazines and most importantly the public.
I have appeared in many different magazines and webzines worldwide, gaining high score reviews for my EP and interviews about my music. In 2009, I did a full page feature interview with Mattey Magazine, which also featured the track "Pray" on their third World Metal Compilation CD. "Upon The Ice" was also featured on Alternative Magazine's Bleeding Edge 04 CD, alongside bands such as Arch Enemy and Children Of Bodom.
My music has been played on various radio stations and podcasts. In 2008, I did a live interview with Rock 247 Online, (now Phoenix Radio) at their studio in Tamworth, UK, and co-hosted the rest of the three hour show.
In March 2009, I collaborated with Pete Hawthorne and James Davenport from Warpath to write and record an instrumental track for Metal Messiah Radio entitled, "The Messiah". I mixed, mastered and produced the track, along with playing lead, rhythm and bass guitars. Pete also played lead and rhythm guitars whilst James played the drums.
In October 2009, I worked with ITN Source and Odeon Entertainment on their latest Beatles documentary entitled The Beatles: Here, There And Everywhere 1963-1970, in which I recorded music for the main and chapter titles.
I am currently in the process of writing my full length debut album, whilst working with clients on various media projects.
