Made of Metal: Slow An’ Easy (Whitesnake cover from May 20236
3 years ago we jammed some Whitesnake! And we had a blast that night. As did some of you too. Looking back at it makes me reminisce about how much fun we had at Piper’s. Super thankful for everything they did.
Were you at this show? Did you see I actually wore a tie? Fun formal times! 👔🤍🐍

Another year… well I’m definitely gonna have to redo the math here again because I don’t know where are all these years keep coming from anymore man😩 but the good thing here is that I am absolutely thankful for all of the kind wishes and love I received from all of you yesterday on my birthday. But what’s even better is that you’ve managed to be awesome not just yesterday but all the time and for THAT is why my heart is satisfied.
The heart, man… probably the toughest most stubborn, chaotic and possibly bipolar part of my body, dude… But the good thing here is that the older I get the better I understand why sometimes I can’t fight with it and just cope and understand how to remain calm, consistent and positive…. Why? Because that’s when The Mind inserts its coin and joins the match on this tough arcade machine called life. And you know damn well you gotta bring your A-Game unless you’ll run out of quarters.
That being said, let’s see what else this year…this world brings to me. In the meantime I’m happy I’m not alone. My family. My friends. All of you still play an important part and I am forever grateful. Thank you all with all my heart. We still have coins left let’s combo-break this bitch and beat the arcade like champions!
Thank you all. Love you all. Don’t forget to listen to Motörhead ♠️

I guess without realizing it… I always had it 🎤
And to think I was also passionate about futbol although that didn’t go further… things you’d wish for. Things that came to you. Things that didn’t….. things you’re fighting for.
Don’t worry about it man… it’s just life.

Her name was Gypsy…
Me very first pet was a small turtle called Cóqui. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any pics of him. But I found this pic of him second pet and it was her. Unfortunately my life with her at home was short lived cause our landlord did not allow pets in our apartment so she ended up at my grandma’s which had a good life till the end.
Lots of memories seeing this pic. Specially in days of reflection and just trying to make things right…April ends but there’s more.
This one’s for Gypsy and Cóqui… may we meet again during our journey to Eternia 🐶🐢

April is slowly coming to an end and the memories continue to flow just like Schuldiner’s Metal. You’d think this is a recent clip… think again because this was actually already 9 years ago 🤯
The vivid memory of my first rehearsal EVER with who I now consider my good matey. March 2017 I go inside the rehearsal room and seeing the legend himself was surreal. My “tryout songs” consisted of Moonchild and Blood Brothers…. I passed those successfully (thank Lemmy) but then the real challenge was Run To The Hills. I was happy that in the end it’s been nothing but an amazing experience to this day. And now we’re absolutely ready to bring our Agame once again once @titanium.tart hits the road later this summer.
Embrace music. #tbt #runtothehills #ironmaidenfans #ironmaiden #nickomcbrain
Made of Metal: Ride the Sky (Helloween cover)
seeing Helloween live last weekend and bringing Ride The Sky back to their set made me reminisce about the time we managed to play live back at our Halloween party few years ago At O’Malleys with our dear friend @daviddiacrono delivering some serious shredding here
First time I get share this one here on IG. Good times indeed all of us dressed up and the cape didn’t even got stuck on my belt so that’s a win!
More April memories oh well 🤷🏻♂️
#RideTheSky
My inspirations of becoming a drummer were always there. However my actual drummer days did not last long. Some high school jams and learning some techniques got me to a decent level up to my early 20’s but nothing major. Very influenced by Thrash and Death metal specially in the vain of Unleashed, Benediction and yes, Sacramentum was primordial because that was the style Sandro and I were looking for as we wrote some tunes in the 90s. Then later I joined a group called Desolation which didn’t go anywhere mostly because I had realized I had quite the potential of…. Singing my favorite Heavy Metal songs.
That drum kit wasn’t mine, that was some rehearsal space during my Desolation days. Second pic was taken the same day…. And I guess the edgy kid days kept on repeat I guess 🤦🏻 …. Anyways April memories blah blah

From now on it’s DRINKS of Eschaton, all thanks to my old friend @1ftblast who I got this sick Manilla Road flask from which will keep my sanity as I savor the Witches Brew while I’m lost in Necropolis.
It’s HEAVY METAL to the world and ALL HAIL @sharkalator !!!!!
