    This is the first out of my trio of three songs consisting of Resist To Give In and Darkness Forever. I absolutely love this song. It is possibly my favorite song that I have ever done. Everything is exactly like I planned it. Even the recording quality turned out great!

    This is my most recent release. I was going for a lot of dynamic sound here. I definately wanted something heavy. There are some pretty interesting licks located throughout. I believe that it contains some of my best drum work yet.

    I recorded this song right after I recorded Event Horizon and right before Darkness Forever. I was definately "on the ball" when I recorded them. The main solo parts took me about a month to come up with. I eventually found what I wanted and went for it. I get lots of positive feedback about this song.

    This is definately my most popular song. It follows a more traditional song structure as opposed to most of my other songs which go many different ways. Just because it has a traditional feel doesn't mean that its boring though. Definately a must hear song.

    This is my first attempt at a very heavy song. I wrote it for all of the Godsmack fans out there. Its tuned to C#. I left the verse free of solos to allow for a more radio friendly feel. Once you get to the middle it just gets crazy. I am immensly happy with how it turned out. The rythm and lead guitar compliment each other so perfectly that it surpasses almost every other one of my songs.

    This song just flat out rocks. Its full of everything. Its also the third song out of my trio consisting of Event Horizon and Resist To Give In. It has awesome guitar riffs and tons of improvised solos. There are a lot of changes throughout this song that take you on a musical journey. The name does not imply the type of music contained in the song.

    I needed a song that sounded Yngwie-ish. Here it is. It ends kind of abruptly, but that is because I wanted to keep it short since most of my songs are over the 5 minute mark.

    Sounds like something Yngwie would write. Towards the end my friend describes it as "...getting ready for a battle when you see tanks rolling over the hills coming towards you." The very end almost sounds like the end to "One" by Metallica, although it has my flare to it.

    I wrote this for my girlfriend, Jessica. She likes a lot softer sounding music than I do for the most part so this song starts off pretty soft. I couldn't resist later on so I had to put in a few cool arpeggio sequences. It worked out pretty good though.

    Oh yeah! If you like songs that rock all then this is the song for you. The intro riff is very old to me. I have revised this song many times, but the heart of it has remained the same. I have been told that it is too predicable therefore it is not marketable. As if popular music isn't predictable. If you want great popular music then this song probably isn't right for you. But if you want and all out great song, with an excellent flow and emotion, then you should definately check this out.

    This song is short and has no drums. It has a good balance between distortion and clean channels. A friend of mine who is a skydiver used it in one of our dropzone's Christmas videos. This is also one of my most popular songs in spite of it being written and recorded all on the same day.
