extensive touring and recording experience.... this page is my personal page, not a band page. i am here to put my material out, no matter what band it is i am doing that in. if you wanna write a note, my name is Brad, not !THOU ART THAT, LAFF!!! Thou Art That is the name of my musical project. i like all music, so i am inspired to put elements of other musics into the context of Metal. i think of myself primarily as a drummer, but i would be very unfulfilled without the guitar as well. i really don't like to be pigeonholed either, tho my own creativity comes out always in the form of Metal, that does not mean that i am colored by that alone. i believe Metal is a large enough genre to accept influences from anywhere in order to keep it alive and relevant. i am not a trained musician, i was self-taught from the age of 4, for better or worse. the sky is the limit and i see no need to be painted into any corners creatively.
