What was the recording process like?
I recorded both Gold and Goatreign over four days with two additional days for mixing. We laid down drums and rhythm guitar and I built the rest up from there. Hats off to Excathedra drummer Shawn Progen for nailing all the drums in one day!

What are some of the highlights of your career?
All the big tours,the Guitar Player thing is an honor,mostly the friends I've made in the music community.

Can you share some insights and advice with other guitarists on how they can become proficent on their instrument?
Practice,listen,play with better players than yourself.

You also produced your other bands new album, Goatreign. Tell us about it?
Six slabs of molten metal ready to destroy all in it's path. Heavy,evil,....check it out at www.mp3.com/goatreign
