I'm easy going and work a lot, but I tend to have every evening free after 5, I can accommodate a full band in my home near downtown raleigh , or come to your space. I sing and scream with huge range and good endurance, with guitar being my primary instrument. I like metal and when I say metal I'm NOT referring to '80s hair, Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, etc. I'm into technical death metal, djent, progressive, some thrash elements, with an emphasis on a tight punchy and melodic sound. I play by ear and love jamming with solid players, and as the title says, I don't play covers at all and would ask anyone wanting to jam to please be prepared to write something entirely new on our first encounter regardless of why we are meeting to jam, you gotta walk the walk so to speak. I have 6 guitars, a bass, a PA, a 6505+, some recording gear, years of experience, and time. Tell me about yourself, roughly where you live / practice, listen to my music on soundcloud before anything, it isn't everyone's favorite (YET!). Thanks, Ben
