In some songs, my little brother plays bass. I will note those.

Sounds Like
Traditional heavy metal, some tech-prog, and some thrash every now and then. If you're a drummer, and you can play Spastic Ink or Dream Theater, please message me.
Alright, it's been a while, so, this is me and life now. I'm happily married to a wonderful, beautiful, loving, and talented wife, Mrs. Kitty Puente. I work at Guitar Center as a Guitar Specialist, and am just loving my job so much right now. I am a Christian, and I have no reason to be ashamed. I won't judge you, because it's not my place, nor my right. I love my God, and if you don't have the same beliefs as me, no biggie, I won't hate you just because your not the same religion, that's just stupid, ridiculous, and plain WRONG. I go to Iglesia Renavacion Espritual (I.R.E), where we have a up and coming "Praise and Worship" team. I am part of the team as well, and I love doing this as a way to serve my God. I have a lot of faith in what I believe in. Just because I'm Christian doesn't mean I don't have a metal side though. I listen to everything from Iced Earth and Necrophagist to Deep Purple and Symphony X. I'm also an avid jazz & blues fan. Classical music is also awesome! If you wanna know more, just message me. I love making new friends, and meeting new people and musicians. Anyone interested in starting a band in the area, let me know! That's all for now. Fare thee well.
