5 Song EP. Released in September of 2012. Guest bassist on this EP Mike LePond of SymphonyX. Recorded at Trax East by the late Erik Kovortek who passed away in 2017, Mixed by Jeremy Krull, Mastered by Mika Jussila/Finnvox (Nightwish, Stratovarius et al). If I were to remix and master would take out some of the background vocals, as I was encourage to add in more and that I hadn't included or worked on and in my opinion were overdone and not executed well, particularly on Venomous and Giordano. Venomous you can listen to with Trace of Emptiness to hear the original version of it. Giordano was also a new song so both the music and the vocals were written a few months prior to studio. Potions of Youth I worked on these in my home studio for a long time before the final production and were intended to be layered. This song was sped up and originally when done with Trace of Emptiness had a more slower gothic feel.

Hard Rock/Metal. Seven Urges was a hard rock/metal project that I collaborated with between December 2008 and October 2009. Recordings were completed at the home studio of Adam R. The music explored existential themes, inner conflict, emotional struggle, and darker psychological elements of the human experience, blending aggressive hard rock and metal influences with melodic and atmospheric passages.
