A closer look at my pedal settings!

I filmed this awhile ago, but have long since been using my newer / custom pairs (that're in silver & black). But they're setup the exact same way! Also, as a side note, it's strange seeing my own arm without a tattoo now (this was filmed prior) 😂.

Additional shoutout to ! 🫶🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼Check them out, too!

In general, the Czarcie's really are the most robust pedal I've ever used. I genuinely love these things. I highly suggest checking them out!

Last but certainly not least, big love to (aka ) for filming & editing this video! 🎥👌🏼🫶🏼🤍 Check out her work cuz she's the GOAT!

Was so stoked to visit 's Barbershop in Poland, ! Got a great fade, & Paolo got shaped up, too! If you're into heavy metal & live around Warsaw, I highly suggest checking it out! 💇🏻‍♂️🤙🏼🤘🏼. Extra shoutout to (the barber in the video actually doing the haircut!) 👌🏼✂️

Filming / Editing: 🎥🖤

A quick camera-audio clip of "The Sin & The Sentence"! Been filming a bunch -- little behind on getting it all imported. Might try to get some stuff proper mixed with multi track stems too, but TBH, I was kinda digging the camera-audio for some of it! At any rate: This clip was from Sweden Rock. That's the whole story. 🤙🏼🤘🏼🥁🤙🏼 Trivium

Luxembourg tonight! 🇱🇺

Heading to Europe tomorrow, but first: New video for "CATASTROPHIST" is live! Check out the full thing on YT! This is a clip from the mid-section... had to pull out a technique I'm not too fond of (doubles)... but it was made a bit easier by my sick new pedals! 🤙🏼

In all honesty, I really do strongly dislike doubles. & while my singles are good enough to play this part on a good day, as we all know -- when you've gotta do something live, "on a good day" isn't good enough. You've gotta be able to do it consistently, day after day. So, I opted to do it as doubles (a technique I hadn't even practiced in a number of years, until pulling it out for this part).

& just to be clear, I know a lot of guys do doubles these days. I also understand that it *is* difficult, & requires coordination, to do well. It's just... not my thing. I only do it when I absolutely have to. But I figured I'd use that part for the insta snippet, because chances are it'll be what people would notice the most anyways. Lol. This song as a WHOLE is pretty challenging in a variety of other ways, though, so please check out the whole playthrough!

Lastly, shoutout to for the mix !!! 🎶🤙🏼🤍! & furreal - these Europe shows are about to be SICK, so I hope to see ya'll there! 🤙🏼🥁🤙🏼

The idea for this video came from my friend who showed me a series of videos that I had no idea existed: People restocking their fridges. LOL. She knew how much I valued keeping my fridge stocked up with diet beverages & thought I would be perfect for it. So here it is: HANGAR FRIDGE RESTOCK!!! 🤣🤙🏼 Lol I love it.

Unboxing my new pedals...! Will keep my text description brief & let the video do the talking for this one (since it's literally a video of me talking 😂). Full clip on YouTube! And huge thanks to / for filming & editing this, & for generally being one of the sickest people ever 🤍🤙🏼!

Guys. Look at my arm. I am SO STOKED on it! It was done by my incredibly talented friend 🤙🏼🤍🤘🏼!!! While I'm on the topic of friends, I'm gonna rant for a minute (shocker, I know... 😂). But as you may recall, I moved to Florida at the end of December. In all honesty, it's a pretty huge change for me! While I was (& am!) excited about it, I've also lived in Maryland my whole life (born & raised!) & my entire extended family is there. So it was a bit scary to up & move, ya know? But one thing that has made it easier are the incredible friendships I already have here -- in addition to the band (whom I love, & I've gotten to know their families now as well, who are all truly lovely!), I also made some other friends that I love, & am so thankful for. This especially includes , & her wife , who have truly been amazing friends as I navigate living in a whole new area. I also absolutely love Noeko's style of tattooing, & I had wanted to get more done, so it was a no brainer (can't wait to get more at some point! Lol!)!!!! But also, for real ya'll: Having good friends who are genuinely amazing people makes life way sicker, especially when you're going through a period of transition. Very thankful for Noeko & Maria (love ya'll 🤍), & am truly SO STOKED on the incredible work she did on my arm. Ya'll should all follow her. She's SICK!!!! Alrighty ya'll, that's the WHOLE story !!! 🤙🏼🤍🤙🏼🤘🏼🤍🫶🏼
