Ogre Christ - Demo (2007)

 Ogre Christ - Demo (2007)



In the summer of 2007, I started a university internship at Cedar Street Studios in Port Richmond in Philadelphia. The job was near my friend John from high school's house so we met up one day. In the course of a week we had hatched up a plan with John's friend's Mark and Pete to start a melodic death metal band that would make songs about video games and movies. We were actually interviewed by a Philadelphia weekly newspaper but I don't remember which one (there are 2) and I don't currently seem to own or have access to a copy of the article. At the time of this home-recorded demo, we didn't have a vocalist yet, so me, John and Pete all sang and screamed through distortion pedals. I liked the band because we tried to play well but we also had a sense of humor that's missing in a lot of metal. The demo is pretty rough but I tried to clean it up a little bit. The band imploded in less than a year due to creative differences but for the time we did it we played regular shows around PA and recorded a full-length album (I'll post that soon). For now, enjoy our fun noisy demo.

KFA - Absolution (2025)

 KFA - Absolution (2025) It's with great pride that today we release the third KFA album "Absolution". Once again, this Doom-inspired HxCx crossover record features me (Jello) on vocals and Megaton on all instruments and programming. Marking an evolution in sound over the past three years, this album differentiates itself both sonically and thematically. The sound of the record is still very Doom and with a lot of early 90's hardcore influence, but the discerning listener will appreciate the influence of Ministry, acid rock and even some NWOBHM on the overall sound picture with confident use of tasteful keyboards, vintage guitar and bass tones and some complex song structures. There's a lot to enjoy. Lyrically, I really dug deep, delving into diverse themes such as Thomas Jefferson, quantum physics, spirituality, work culture and nuisance tourists, all delivered with a greater influence from horror punk vocalists. I genuinely love this record. For me at least, it...

Downhill Frenzy - ...Relax, It's Just a Demo (2001)

 Downhill Frenzy - ...Relax, It's Just a Demo (2001)  When I started high school in 2001, there was a short list of bands known to be made up of members of our school, Central High in Philadelphia. The guy I knew from this band (I'm pretty sure) was named Adam and I know he was one of the horn players. I'm sure he's the one who gave me this demo. I can't be certain if I ever saw them play but I know that around the time of this release they had started playing a couple of high-profile ska shows. The one that comes to mind is King Django. I do love this 6-song demo though. It clearly sounds 80% like Less Than Jake but it's got really great energy and the band is pretty tight. I always wanted to see if they released anything else and how I could get it. If anybody knows anything about this band, please tell me in the comments. The copy I have became pretty damaged, and I had to repair the audio and then I did a little bit of mastering and created an album cover. I...

TWIN PEAKS - "Sings in Old Entish" (2026)

 TWIN PEAKS - "Sings in Old Entish" (2026) So..... Aside from some remastered material (lots more to come!) and a B-Sides album, my main musical project Twin Peaks has not released an album of new music since 2013. So, it has been a very long time. This album itself features songs written as early as 2008 and the recording began in 2023. I played most of the instruments and sang and Tom Raggio played drums. Steve Guzzardo Recorded and mixed the drums and I recorded, produced and mastered the rest of the album. Mainly, the past 13 years have involved just being very busy at work but I've also worked on a number of other musical projects. In any case "Twin Peaks Sings in Old Entish" is finally here! Simply put, this is the best Twin Peaks album. I think the recording sounds really good. I think our performances are on point and every song is a banger. To be nearly 40 and putting out something like this feels pretty good. Thematically, it talks about the difficulti...
