Okay! Drum roll please!! More stuff to announce for the new year and one before the year is up.
I'm very honored to be asked to be the special guest at The Heavy Metal Swap meet next Saturday! What a way to spend my holidays with nothing but real metal people.
Then in February I will join forces with the man, the myth, the legend Tim Ripper Owens "Official Page" and CAGE Official Page for a short run through Texas! 2 shows with Helstar in McAllen and San Antonio and one with James Rivera's Metal Asylum in Houston!
I have so much to look forward to.
Depression is quickly going away. In our world today sometimes we can let the darkness consume us but not this Vampire! I'm even tempted to walk out in the day light!!! 🦇🤘
