An Angel does not stop being an Angel simply because they fall from grace. Their wings are not so easily taken.

This Revolution Starts In The Mirror



Harsh Reality is a national touring Industrial Metal band with a near 20 year history and award winning stage show. Based out of Minneapolis Harsh Reality has held a grueling road schedule since return from our hiatus in 2006 logging over 250 shows nationwide in just over 2 years working along side bands such as Metal Church, Impaler, Genitorturers, Apocalypse Theater and the Peppermint Creeps to bring a unique blend of aggressive metal and dark industiral glam to the stage. We have performed on some of be best indy stages in america and will be traveling world wide again in 2008 The band regularly leaves audiences stunned with our extreme high energy music show along with our unpredictable and uncompromising stage show. Playing everywhere from art galleries, to theaters, sexy fetish ball events, industiral showcases, motorcycle clubs, and even a suspension show or two with performers hanging from steel hooks in their flesh while the band roars on stage. The press has said "(It was an) in your face performance for the ages," "a sound of Sepultra meets Marilyn Manson," "Somewhere between the ear bleeding riffs and the voluptuous silicone breasts, Harsh Reality manages to deliver a refreshingly accessible brand of sybaritic stage show" In 2006 Harsh Reality quickly recieved MMA nominations for best bassist and best drummer in just 9 months after the return from a multi year Hiatus. Continually press worthy, Harsh Reality has been interviewed by press from as far away as Spain, Greece and Japan, being featured in Cyprus Gold, URNA, The Gauntlet Metal Underground, Visions of Atlantis, Lucky Bitch Radio, VM Underground Radio, Lavender Magazine, The Spectator Live at 5, Local M and many others. Harsh Reality continues in the tradition of old school metal but with a new outlook, in 2009 showing no signs of slowing the band continues its relentless road assult as well as working on a brand new studio album FAIRY TALE LIVE and film sound track to be released in 2009.



Ok Now about me



First off I love music. Everything about rock n roll is a passion for me. I'm the Leader of aggressive metal band Harsh Reality. I get to travel all over the world playing the music I love. I have recorded 6 albums, and had a couple singles taken up by a small Sony subsidiary before Sony saw the label better used as a tax write off, contributed to the official Motorhead tribute Everything Louder Than Everyone Else (Hey Ace you ever going to fix that link!).



ATPH needs to be addressed somewhere in here so here it goes. I was the bassist for All The Pretty Horses at what many thought was the apex of the bands 10 year history finally becoming the first and only "Trans" band to win a MMA award in 2005. The Memory of what once was ATPH shall always hold a special place in my heart, Saddly things have changed and that is no more, and that is one phoenix that has been doomed to remain in the ashes evermore.



Not to a more positive note I have no idea how it happened but I have by some act of chance been apparently drafted into the Services of APOX (Apocalypse Theater) for an occasional tour or show here and there. how much this might entail only time will tell but I relish my time with the wasteland miscreants and have a blast with it. YARRRRRRRRR!



And that brings us to MERCY KILL. keep an eye out for this happy accident that grew out of the Harsh Apocalypse and fills me with the pleasure of joining parts of what I love so well with the unique spirit and out look of V. Mercy and Mad Kat for an interesting new band.



I am still seeking additional musical projects both live and in the studio of all styles and am ambitious about pushing myself forward. I LOVE IT!



There is beauty in strength as well as in surrender and when you blend them you have the best of both worlds.



Indeed, Never judge a book by its cover.
