Wow, today I actually got to do NOTHING and like it. Believe me, I enjoy the busy work because it's fun and doesn't feel like a chore. Still, at my advanced age (I will be 52 on November 2, and proud of that), a day here and there to relax suits me well. I've been promoting the hell out of my new album MOOD SWINGS. Copies are selling a little slower than the first go-round but still moving. Been d... » Continue Reading

Last night, I received the mastered files of my new album MOOD SWINGS. Holy moly, does it sound unreal! So much clarity, very musical, and of course really damn heavy. Yes I weighed it. But in all seriousness, I just sent out the first batch of free downloads to those who pre-ordered the cd. There's still time to take advantage of this because once there's a definite release date, this offer goes ... » Continue Reading
This past Friday, the first single/video was released from my upcoming 8th album MOOD SWINGS. The song is called "Never Be The Sane" and to my surprise, it's moving!! I have never seen any of my songs gain so much traction as this one has. It's very cool!! But did I finally write something that connected with people? Apparently so, according to Jon Hanemann, who produced the album. He said it is a... » Continue Reading
Mixing for the 8th album is DONE!! Now what? We have to get it mastered, which means get all the levels just right, so that no matter where you hear it, it will always sound great! Nothing worse than something that sounds like a tin can on one stereo, and a huge jet the next. After this, I have to pick the first single and potentially make a video for it. This will be made to hopefully create inte... » Continue Reading
Mixdown for the 8th album has begun. This is very exciting for sure. I never thought I would still feel this rush of excitement at my age. Am I supposed to mellow out, wear polo shirts and talk about pretentious crap at a country club? Nah, I don't do mundane very well. I went to Dingbatz in Clifton this past Friday to see some bands and knew that Mike Sabatini would be there. What I didn't expect... » Continue Reading
Rehearsals went from February 21st to May 16th. Recording went from May 21st to June 18th (today). Which means... THE ALBUM IS DONE!! Onto mixing, mastering, artwork, and deciding which song will be the first single to entice people to buy the new cd. Man, am I shot! » Continue Reading
All bass parts DONE! All guitar melodies DONE! Guitar solos...nope. Tried recording solos last Sunday but was too burned out from going 100mph in the studio with everything else. That's okay, gives me time to work on the leads more. But I am proud to say the album is 3/4 finished. Listening to it totally unmixed is still a huge thrill. Everything sounds HUGE! I cannot wait to rel » Continue Reading
As of tonight, May 29, all rhythm guitar parts are done! Two days of recording solid HEAVY guitars (oh and a few clean parts too?!) Two tracks of guitars on each song to give it a huge, fat wall of sound. Things are rolling really well, so now it's onto the bass lines next week... I am playing bass on this album. This should be interesting... Read about (and subscribe to my blogs) on here: https » Continue Reading
Feels like an eternity since I've been on here. Been busy in the studio working on the new album since last Friday. Two solid days of getting the drums done and so far things are rolling along nicely. Oh but who's the drummer? Ah yes! Those of you who listen to power/thrash metal will recognize the name Michael Sabatini. He's the drummer for New Jersey metal band Attacker. So he's pounding the sk... » Continue Reading
