Music is my life. Music and playing guitar, and my band Apothys.
Music
My roots are in Classic Rock/Metal, Classical music of many kinds, Blues, etc. But I listen mainly to metal these days, and video game music (always). I'm not gonna list every band in my collection, but here are a few of my all time favorites.
Nevermore
Behemoth
Devin Townsend
My Dying Bride
Virgin Black
Evergrey
Keep of Kalessin
Judas Priest
Darkwater
Dream Theater
Emperor
The list goes on and on, but those bands are definitely at the top of it, and are my most influential.
Movies
I'm pretty big into movies, and they have been almost as much a part of my life as music. I love fantasy/sci-fi mostly, especially mind benders. Here are some of my favorites though.
The Princess Bride
The Big Lebowski
Conan the Destroyer
The Terminator movies (minus Rise of the Machines)
Pulp Fiction
Beetlejuice
Wayne's World
Dumb and Dumber
Resovoir Dogs
Boondock Saints
Legend
The Last Samurai
Seven
This could go on and on too, but those are some that I never get tired of.
Television
TV sucks. But I do enjoy the History channel, and the Military channel. And some things on Adult Swim, or the Discovery channel.
Books
Fantasy books mainly, but biography/autobiography books, certain non-fiction books, they all interest me. Books are awesome. I love the Elric series of fantasy books. And the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Heroes
Jeff Loomis, Nergal, Devin Townsend, Chuck Schuldiner, K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton, and numerous video game music composers.
At just about any given point in time, on any given day, you would find me listening to music, of all kinds. When I'm not listening to it I'm almost certainly working on writing something or just practicing / jamming. My inspirations are many. My career, to which I am lovingly dedicated, is with my brothers in Apothys, whom I've been with from the start. My "side" job is in the service industry (for now).
I think everyone who plays guitar has something up on their own page so...
Just jammin
...enjoy.
Deliver me from swedish furniture
Deliver me from clever art
May I never be complete
May I never be content
May I never be perfect
Who I'd like to meet: Jeff Loomis, and Nergal. And Devin Townsend. Pretty much any musician that has been influential to me. To jam with any of them would be pretty awesome too.
Christopher Walken. And it would have been cool to have met George Carlin.
There should be a section for who I'd NOT like to meet, and that would include anyone who is just looking to add another person to their page. If you have nothing to say or share that is useful or somehow relevant (or at the very least, interesting), don't waste your time, or mine.
hey man, we had to leave the show early, but contact me back about the tickets man, call my buddy brandon at 703-203-6224 since my phone is fucked up at the moment. it'd be great to see you guys there.
oh yeah, you guys kicked some major fucking ass tonight, as to be expected. alot of it sounded like new material which was awesome. you guys ever plan on doing the early shit again? I liked that too.
I sound like a fucking retard right now but I'm tired as shit
Hey,bro! Glad to hear of the great things your band is doing man.. How have you been? As much as i can say here..I'm tired man!! The wheels on the bus go round and round! horn's -Umi
So, I plan to do a full review, but I gotta say that "Of Writhing Eyes" is my new favorite Apothys song. That riff at 0:57 is so fucking sick. Simple, but brutally effective. |m| |m|
Oooooh you fucking ROCK sir!! I cannot wait to hear the album! =D And if I can book you some gigs, for the amount of pay you deserve of course, down here I totally wouldn't mind helping out!! My hubby's page is Needles Caine. He will totally promote your music and hook y'all up! :D
Baby is learning to mosh his way throughout the uterus!! LOL! >_<
I just checked out the new songs, and I must say they ARE KICKASS!!!! Because Apothys kicks ASS!!!! :D I will definitely be looking into a recording when I can get some extra cash! :) ALSO! If y'all ever do make your way to Texas, bring a CD, my honey will hook you up with discount INK!? If you're interested! Take it easy! Keep it metal!
yeah dude Venomcrest is the shit man, I listened to it last night before I went to sleep. We might be doing a thing at Jaxx November 8th, one of the gorilla production shows.
Soon enough hopefully we can do some shows together
hahahaha. gayspace. lol. yeah, its gay alright. but I think I sent that comment on thursday, or maybe tuesday. those are the days I have to get up at 5 in the ante-meridian to get ready for school. and as crazy as that this sounds, I prefer so cause I don't deal with traffic, but I'm a fan of sleepin' in...when I can. I'm an insomniac -difficulty falling asleep & difficulty staying asleep. eh.
yeah my summer's been alright... i was up near Woodbridge the other day just south at the Quantico National cemetery. I'm getting ready to start school again... I haven't been feeling very productive lately since summer school ended
Dude!! What up? hows the nights of misery in the studio coming? not much here other then sleepless nights and not enuff beer.. Hails from the submarine on wheels!!
I'm glad things are going well! I'm moving to Boston in less than a month and my summer feels entirely strange without booger and fart jokes at the dinner table every night, amongst other Braun traditions:)
I hope your summer is going well with your band/family/friends! Loveeee you
Thanks Eddie, I appreciate that you listened in. Casey was very cool to talk to- he'll be back on soon enough to cover more info on the Kam CD, the cruise and more. He's a great dude.
