These guys have impressed me with just about every release they’ve managed to push with all their label trouble. Sure Antenna wasn’t my favorite but there were still some amazing songs and riffs on there.

He brings his unique perspective to bare on each of his endeavors. Plus he’s got the best voice in underground music since…Dwid from Integrity.

Sunday, June 10, 2007Worked on Mongos drums for about 2.5 hours, since he is the primadonna of the band (not really).
