June was extremely busy (I put out 8 songs and went on a short tour with Owlbear), so I really lacked on Patreon posts. This Dropbox link has all of the songs I dropped in June 2025 in wav format

Now that we're back from our mini-tour, I've been sorting through some of the photos and videos that we got along the way and I can finally share some with you! Thanks to Anthony DeCrisantis / Metal Icarus Images for getting this batch of pictures! Added thanks to Patrick and Roque from Gunderslam for joining us on this leg of shows on 2nd guitar and drums
We're working on getting back out on the road soon, so we'll see everyone in California and Denver for MagWest and Mile High Power ...

After playing at Magfest with Premium Vintage, I got the idea to do a lofi remix of one of the songs I sang for them and this is the result. Guitar and bass (and some of the drums) performed by Premium Vintage, vocals, drum beat/arrangement, and cover art by me, additional vocals by Lacey Johnson. I think this is a cool little collab and the full version will be out as soon as Spotify processes it! There is also an instrumental version. $3-tier and higher patrons will receive both versions th...
2025-05-08 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostYo! I'm finally shaking the dust off of my original lofi catalog that has just been sitting on my hard drive for years at this point. I'm working to finalize all the ideas I had started, but the one that was most complete is a collection of jazzy sounding tracks that all sound like an alcoholic private investigator walking through a city in the rain at night. If this sounds like something you'd vibe with, then you'll love my upcoming album, "PA Noire."
This song, "The One Where Joey Th...
One of the lofi projects I've been working on is a full album of Super Nintendo remixes, so this is a preview clip of the Vanilla Dome music from Super Mario World. It's one of my favorite themes from the game and I really wanted to work around its iconic drum beat. The Yoshi's Island song that I released back in February will also be on this album although I don't have a set release date in mind yet but as always updates will be posted here!
Thank you all for your continued support, a...
Yo! I was asked to take part in a huge tribute to Sega compilation album, so I chose to do the song Wilderness from Golden Axe. My main experience with Golden Axe was tearing through the entire arcade game in freeplay mode with Jeff at Mad With Power in 2024 in a venue that was too loud to actually hear the music, so now I'm turning its music into something that could be loudly played at a venue. This is the start of my arrangement, and this release will also be through the label Melodies Zon...
2025-04-17 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHello! As I said last week, I'm working on more metal material with the label Melodies Zone, so here is another preview of what's coming!
Melodies Zone is organizing a Pokemon tribute album so I will be contributing metal covers of Mt Moon from Red and Blue (posted on Patreon last week) and Sprout Tower from Gold and Silver. I'm really happy with how both of these are turning out and I got to go back to some of my roots of just trying to make every song sound like it was composed by Ch...
Hey, everyone! It's been a minute since the last update on what I've been doing musically. Owlbear's Feather and Claw came out and I've been busy rolling in the dopamine obtained from it and slowly making plans for what my next moves are
I have a bunch of new lofi material in the works, but I've also been in talks with the label Melodies Zone to release more metal video game covers through them rather than independently like I have been for years. This should be a very positive step fo...
It's finally here! I, Jeff, Leona, and Estee (along with all of our guest artists, and Alone Records) are very proud to present the second Owlbear album: "Feather and Claw."
This download also includes the two live bonus tracks that don't appear on the physical copies of the album.
I cannot say enough how much I appreciate the support of everyone who is here on Patreon for helping make this happen. This Patreon is one of the reasons why I could spend less time doing day job hour...
Feliz Tuesday! The album drops on Friday but I wanted to give one last early gift to everyone! This is the title track to the album in its entirety and final mix. Now that you've heard 3/10 songs from the album I hope you're ready and hyped up for the remaining 7 songs (and two live bonus tracks) on Friday!
This album and band in general has been such a journey both professionally and personally and I can't wait to share the work we all put in with everyone, so until Friday, stay Scary...
Hello, everyone! The new Owlbear single will be public on the 21st but for my esteemed, beautiful patrons it's here two weeks early. The album is still planned to release on February 28th, so until then enjoy the new song "Hawkriders of the Wastes" featuring a guitar solo from Rob Steinway of Glyph/Greyhawk and art by James Kusardi.

It's finally happening and by finally I mean we only put out the first album last year, this is light speed for a current metal band. I'm thrilled to be sharing the first single off of the new Owlbear album, "Feather and Claw," two weeks early with you, my esteemed and beautiful patrons. We are still determining the final release date of the full album but it will be in early 2025 with another single before it.
"As Arrows Hail" is based on the story of Feanor from The Silmarillion. To ...
Feliz Monday! Final mixes are coming together and this one is 90% of the way there, so today I'm sharing a preview of a new Owlbear song from Feather and Claw, "Bloodsilver." Enjoy Leona's insane bass arpeggios during the instrumental break.
Added reminder that on Thursday the first Owlbear single in its entirety will be available on Patreon only for paid patrons, so be sure to check back here then to hear the first complete song off of the new album! Until then, enjoy this clip of Blo...
Final mixes are starting to come together as we're aiming for an album release in early 2025, so I wanted to share a clip of one of the finished songs from Feather and Claw. This one has had work in progress clips posted here before, and pretty much all updates on the album from this point on should be sharing final mixes. Enjoy this segment of our new song, "Hawkriders of the Wastes"!

Hello! I'm very excited to reveal the artwork for the upcoming Owlbear single, "As Arrows Hail." The song should be out on all platforms on December 6th and the full album will be able to be pre-ordered at that time as well (along with some new merch). All paid members of this Patreon will be able to hear the almost final mix of the song next week, so roughly one month early
The song is about Feanor from Tolkien's The Silmarillion and describes his journey for revenge as he and his son...
I'm on my journey to become a wizard for real, and for right now part of that is relearning how to appreciate music and not just churn out songs that took little to no effort with 100 cut corners. I'm not doing the full song, Wind Scene is just a beautiful piece of music that I love and I wanted to learn. I understand that posting a video really destroys the point of just playing music for the sake of playing it

We've been making progress on the album so here is another clip of a song: "Fall of Netheril." This recording doesn't have Leona yet but it has my demo vocals where i am messing around with harmonies to practice along to so that I can come back later and sing everything like I mean it, and this also has Jeff's final rhythm guitar recordings as well as an outro solo played by me that is probably more signal from the delay and reverb pedals than the actual guitar signal. I hope you guys enjoy t...

Yo! Tracking and editing for Owlbear 2 is moving along so I'll be sharing updates on the album more regularly now. Months ago I shared the midi demo version of this song and we now have the guitars fully tracked for it, so enjoy this example clip! Leona is about a third of the way done tracking bass for the album and I will be starting my vocals next week, so hopefully soon I'll be posting previews with all of our final tracks done! until then, thank you for the continued support, and stay Sc...

As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm taking part in a huge tribute to Sonic the Hedgehog compilation album before the end of the year, so I wanted to share a work in progress clip of my cover of Open Your Heart from Sonic Adventure 1! I'm only doing the instrumental part of this song and someone else will be singing it. I'll also be contributing to 3 other songs on the album and you can hear another preview clip in my post from a few weeks ago.
I've also been working more on the Owlb...

Yo! It's been pretty quiet on here (I've posted a few WIPs to Discord but nothing here) because of how much music stuff I've had in the works I haven't been able to stop to think! Yay! I've been working on Owlbear II as well as a lofi album that should be dropping next month and something else that I don't think I've mentioned until now: I was contracted to do an EP of metal Sonic the Hedgehog covers that will be out before the end of the year to go along with the hype behind the new movie an...

It's been an insanely busy last two weeks for me from getting ready to play at Mad With Power Festival with Owlbear and then trying to re-assimilate into my normal life after that, but I'm finally back to working on the next Owlbear album among a few other projects. You can check out some of the photos of us and a write up of the festival at the link I posted, and I should have some audio updates for Owlbear 2 posted onto Patreon very soon!

Through a long chain of events, Ferdk asked me to do the vocals on his cover of "Otherworld" from Final Fantasy X which I was incredibly excited to do. I wanted to find a song we both enjoy to cover on my channel, and fortunately we both love Gamma Ray so we delivered the most powerful 45 seconds in all of power metal with a cover of Fairytale from the Land of the Free album. I also managed to get my Owlbear bandmate, Leona Hayward, to play bass on this cover since we had talked about how muc...
