Wassup, I’m Ryan (24), born and raised in Huntington Beach. I’ve spent the last decade writing absolute bangers and now I’m finally ready to unleash them. My goal? To build a monolithically heavy band that crushes everything in its path. Think devastating riffs, filthy tones, and zero compromise.
GENRES
Sludge Metal • Grindcore • Beatdown Hardcore • Brutal Slam • Funeral/Doom/Stoner/Drone • Harsh Industrial Noise
(Yeah, it’s a lot, but I make it work perfectly. Hit me up for my Google Drive demos.)
INFLUENCES:
Melvins • Pig Destroyer • Crowbar • The Body • Xibalba • Devourment • Nails • SUNN O))) • Bell Witch • SWANS • Electric Wizard • Tribal Gaze • Mortician • plus some dirty Southern rap (Project Pat, Three 6 Mafia).
Not into: melodic stuff, overproduced “techno-metal,” or emo clean vocals. I write riffs that sound like a murder scene, not a breakup with an anime body pillow.
ABOUT ME
* Total gear nerd: I run multiple guitar/bass amps at once. My tone shakes the earth and is reminiscent of 90s New York Brutal Death Metal.
* Program drums in Superior Drummer 3 with realistic, punchy mixes
* Full DIY studio: PA, Reaper loaded with VSTs, mixing/mastering skills, double kick acoustic kit, huge amps, everything mic’d
* Chill, accepting, reassuring, funny, and easy to get along with. South Park humor welcome.
* I don’t drink, just occasionally smoke (if that’s something you’re looking for; I don’t care what you do lol)
WHAT’S READY
* Album art & logo
* 8 demo songs (recorded w/ drums)
* 40+ written songs & 100+ killer riffs
* Resources for merch, DIY shows, booking, and graphics
* Premium account to release our music on every streaming software
WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR
* A vocalist who can deliver pig squeals, gutturals, and fry screams (think early Pig Destroyer / Full of Hell)
* Someone down to experiment with my harsh noise rig for creepy ambience & samples
* Commitment — not 24/7, but reliable enough to stick with the band and do shows. I write stank-face riffs constantly and I plan on releasing an EP every couple of months (allows us to only have quality songs, no filler stuff). I do plan on continuing this project for years and years to come.
SCHEDULE
I’ve only got 5 months left in nursing school, and I’m out by 2:30 PM every week day. Rehearsals will be super low-stress since it’ll just be the two of us. I’m constantly practicing at home with the drum machine, and I can send you tracks so you can rehearse on your own, too. The drum machine locks in the tempo, I know every riff like the back of my hand, and all you have to do is cut loose and bring the energy. This is supposed to be fun and heavy, not some exhausting grind.
INTERESTED?
Shoot me an email and send a short audio sample of your screams (no music needed). We’ll chat a bit, then exchange numbers if it feels right.
