BIOGRAPHY: I am the founder of the Baltimore,MD/ York, PA-USA based progressive metal band, IMAGES OF EDEN.
I have been into music all of my life...even before becoming a musician. By age 5, I was already listening to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kiss and many other classic rock bands regularly. I picked up my first guitar at age 13 and practiced for no less than 3 hours a night. In college I decided to take formal vocal lessons because I didn't want to restrict myself to being just a guitarist. This diversity prompted me to learn how to play the other instruments that comprised a rock band (drums, bass guitar, keyboards). Little did I know that this would later come in handy!
I had been in and out of bands over the years but never really found anyone who was at the same level of experience or shared my same musical dream and direction. I always had my own distinct vision with plans on one day bringing it to life but I always seemed to run into obstacles along the way... I had dealt with non-motivated band members and/or "dictators", inexperienced musicians, and conflicts with the other writers in various bands.
Finally, after negatively parting ways in 1998 with a band called Out Of Nowhere, I was at my limit with dealing with incompetence so I decided that it was time to bring my vision to life without having it diluted or compromised. In September 1999, I went into the studio with a session drummer to record the debut IMAGES OF EDEN CD (CHAPTER I). My goal was to fully produce a CD with my own original material playing all of the instruments myself (except drums) as well as design the artwork. The final product would then be used to carefully select musicians to complete the full-time lineup. This was the birth of my band "IMAGES OF EDEN" and only the beginning...
Now, we (IMAGES OF EDEN) are in the process of recording our 3rd CD, "REBUILDING THE RUINS", to be released later in 2009. For more info, as well as clips from our 2nd CD "SUNLIGHT OF THE SPIRIT" (available on Nightmare Records), check out our website, www.imagesofeden.com.
---- MY OTHER PROJECTS (past & present) ----
***JUST ANNOUNCED 4/1/09***- "AIRS" (A Rock Opera by George Andrade & Steve Brockmann)- I will be appearing as the main character, "Owen", alonside other German/ Dutch vocalists in a full length rock opera.

Vocal recording should begin in July/ August, 2009 for a 2010 release.
DREAD THE FORSAKEN- In Nov, 2008, I had the amazing experience of travelling to Guatemala to do vocals for the debut Demo CD, "Unbound" (produced by Eduardo Santella). DTF was founded by El Salvador-born metal guitarist/ songwriter, Mauricio Liborio. The plans are to return with Images of Eden in December, 2009 to play the annual "Garra Chapina" festival, then a short Central American tour (Guatemala/ El Salvador) with Dread The Forsaken. Stay tuned....

Put together the first music video for one of the songs, that being for the song "Eel Marsh House", which is based on the movie "The Woman In Black". Wasn't sure to name it that instead of 'Eel Marsh..." ...Eel Marsh House being where the woman in black 'lived', and now haunts it. Though, she seems to haunt the general area of the village as well as the House. If anyone catches her gaze, looks into her eyes....a child will die, usually from the family of the person unfortunate to look at her. As you see what happens to the story's main character at the end.
Hope you like it, that's about all for now, Cheers! Rob

Even "Eddie" has been known to make a cameo appearance on stage with us.
Seventh Son is comprised of the following:
Gordon Tittsworth - founder/vocalist of the progressive-metal band Images of Eden.
Dave DeMarco - plays with the prog band Oblivion Sun, and Van Halen Tribute, Everybody Wants Some.
James Goetz - drummer of Division as well as Images of Eden (just recently announced), but is playing guitar for us!
