Today marks 5 years with my favourite person in the world. Every day she makes me laugh, every day she makes me feel inspired, every day she makes me feel at home, and every day, even after 5 years, I fall a little harder for her. Happy anniversary @muhshell_amy I love you so fucking much.

Super stoked to be hitting the stage next Saturday as the guest headliner for the @wmbcanada.official Ontario finals! This is going to be a good one! #metaldrummer @centuriesofdecay #deathmetalband @@trick_drums_usa @loscabosdrumsticks #blastbeats #doublebassdrumming

I'm so, SO excited to finally share this!! Here is the first single for from our new album. It's called "To Dust." This is exciting enough on it's own but even more so for me since I created the artwork and lyric video. This was a tremendous amount of work and involved learning a lot of new skills but I like to think it turned out pretty well! I hope you like it!

Didn't quite get this all squared away in time for "Blackwater Park Friday", even though it's been cooking for the better half of this year. Yet another attempt at recreating a production that was hugely influential to me. And of course I couldn't have pulled it off without the contributions of some very talented dudes, namely @dherryk and @alexxsnape , so huge thanks to them for the awesome work. As always, link in bio for full video. #opeth #blackwaterpark #coversong #torontometalmusicians #torontometal #ontariometal #canadianmetal #metalproducer #recordingstudio #performance #progmetal #studiolife
