Another one of my very rare blogs on here.



Anyway, my black/thrash/traditional metal band(I know,lot of catergories), Vangeria has a reverbnation page. It's http://reverbnation.com/vangeriametal. There is the other one but that was set up by a former member of the band and I never got the codes for it.

Lately, it's been hard to classify any genres, especially in metal. Sure we all don't like...

okay, keeping up with the blogging.

My black metal band, Vangeria has two shows set and ready to play. We do have a new drummer that is working well nicely.

One of my rare blogs here on SG.

My music career is getting back on track. My black metal band has a new steady line up and is relocated to our singers home where half the band lives which makes transportation easier. We have a new drummer and while he's new, he's a dedicated learner. Of course, it creates the biggest age span with a...

back in the saddle

Looks like I'll be out of SG fora bit cause of money issues. Perhaps after my first or second paycheck, I'll get back on

Another of my rather rare blogs that only come up during some moment of upheaval. Anyway, no longer with Nightshade. I'm not one to give too much gritty details but let's just say that when it comes to family members in the band, I'm out.

I do like to announce a new band that is in the works that's in the style of Greek black...

well happened again but I'm not too discouraged this time around cause it's an affect of the economic situation. Needless to say with the home improvement being off season during a real tough era, I was laid off at Cabinet Masters. Yet I can say that I've gotten more experience and found a calling in E-Marketing.
There is some gloom as I check with some...

the new year is starting off quite well already. I have a gigged lined up for later Feburary that is rather good pay, flat 100 bucks plus a cut of the door along with some food.
Another good thing is seeing Rotting Christ in the next two weeks. I only got a chance to listen to little but after picking up Dead Poem and a...

Time to unveil my music promotion company, Nachtengel Promotions. Simply put, many of the "metal" promoters in the area tend to only book their own bands or bands like theirs that falls into the "deathcore" sub genre of metal. To counteract and give those who do not fall into such a category, I've started my own grass roots movement.

Here's the link if you're too...

thought I'd be doing individual music business (composing,working on promo website,playing classical) but I ended up sleeping, drinking and playing Mass Effect, which is a great game. Nothing else to say save for a fun but lonely Christmas. Would be better if I did have an SO but god do I hate this town. Seems the only women I could be with are well taken....

I've had a moment of inspiration at work. I've read some complaints about how some music promoters only tend to book either their own bands along with a hand picked few that way too much alike. This got me thinking and thought, I'll just run my own promotion with my band and other bands in the same genre. One thing to make clear that this...
