DISCOGRAPHY
2001: Liquid Blasphemy
Liquid Blasphemy was written and recorded in the late spring/summer of 2000. I originally wrote the songs at home with my guitar, Cakewalk, and a Boss DR-770. It was recorded in NYC at John Angier's studio, where he also mixed it and mastered it. It was three tracks.
Tracks:
1. Liquid Blasphemy
2. Liquid Blasphemy: The Other Side
3. Melodies Of Aggressive Truth
2004: Jeremy Krull
The self titled record was started when I got my first computer recording system in October 2001 and I toiled over it for about two years or so. I think the technical release was 2004 but it might've gone to distro before that. This was recorded almost 100% by me in NY, and also mixed/mastered there as well, with the exception of some overdubs, some keyboard work, and some mixing at John Angier's place in NYC. John also played organs and some keys on two of the tracks. "Melodies Of Aggressive Truth" also got re-record for this record.
Tracks:
1. My Home
2. Leviathan
3. The Second Idea
4. In His Face
5. Melodies (Of Aggressive Truth)
6. Aztec Gold
7. Daring To Know
2014: (de)Tested
(de)Tested is a record that literally embodies the impossible. I realistically never thought I would do another record. Life altering events...life altering emotional states...a sink or swim moment...it all channeled into this.
Tracks:
1. Lord Of The Labyrinth
2. The Onset Of Lividity
3. Impossible Machinations
4. Needle Pit
5. Pox-Eclipse
6. The Man With No Name
7. Building A Case Toward Your Salvation
8. Nontegrity
9. Rudnick
10. Know That I'm Not Lying
11. The Only Way Out

2019: Kings Of The Wasteland
Kings Of The Wasteland is an expansive dynamic ride of a song with many moods and elements but gladly wears the throwback vibe on its sleeve. It is an idea that was conceived, forgotten about, and then fully realized some years later and in a much grander fashion than was anticipated, to the point that it will be released as standalone single.
The inspiration for the piece comes from dystopian films from the 1980s based in urban settings, like Escape From New York, 1990: Bronx Warriors, Class Of 1984/1999, and a few more from the genre, as well as composers like Jerry Goldsmith and Vince DiCola. The primary of focus of the piece was to be broad and powerful but also somehow uplifting, which clashes greatly with the artist’s previous works, hence it got a single release.
Jeremy Krull composed, produced, engineered and mixed the song. Drumming on the track is the legendary Shane Gaalaas (The B’z, Yngwie Malmsteen, Cosmosquad). Mastering was handled by Maor Appelbaum (Sabaton, Faith No More, Halford).

2020: (add)itional Machinations
After what seems like forever, finally I've been able to release (add)itional Machinations, which is the addendum/leftovers/outtakes from (de)Tested and also an entirely new piece of music as well.
Three of the pieces here were originally penned during the (de)Tested sessions back in 2013 or so, with the final track being written later in 2016 and finished in 2018.
In keeping with the continuity of (de)Tested, I have gone through reasonably great pains to aesthetically and sonically match that record as closely as possible. Think of it like continuity between films. To me it sounds dated, but it also sounds like the moment in time that the (de)Tested full length occupies which is what was intended.
This was something put on the back burner for many years and I finally decided to finish it up and put it out as more of a closing of the chapter started by both the events leading to and the subsequent creation of (de)Tested.
It's important to me that it gets released into the wild, if you dig it that's also good too.
