Dark Awakening is a sequal to the story of Graveyard Shift... The basic story of Dark Awakening is that he has left the Graveyard, leaving the darkness that had once surrounded him; allowing him to see past... the lies... that he once lived. But "freedom" isn't what he had thought it would be...

Graveyard Shift is avaliable for purchase on his CDbaby site

There are other projects in the making: colabs, remixes, some of his own original stuff. He is also the lead singer in an Industrial / Melodic / Heavy / Death Metal group called DoublEdged , where they fuse all they can possibly fuse into the metal catagory and make it sound something of their own. A profile will soon be created on ACIDplanet, but you can hear works in progress on MySpace...
http://myspace.com/doubledged
In time, they will be heard on his profile or on other profiles (links to them will be provided here). Until then, he's kept busy...

You can find a colaboration with Platinum Knight here: http://www.acidplanet.com/chron icles_of_equilibrium

 

 

Began to create music with his keyboard. Had no lessons and still doesn't to this day. Then came along the program called Groove Blender... Started to make music on the computer... Mildly entertaining... Then came along ACID pH1 (older version of ACID Pro which you probably wouldn't find today). Making music for 10 years and he plans not to stop anytime soon... Also, he's just starting to play the guitar, so once he starts to get good at it you will hear it in his songs.

 

 

Platinum Dragon17 [Real name: Adam P.D. Herdman] (Yes, his middle initials really are P.D.)

 

 

Rock, Electronica (Industrial, Techno, Trance, etc...), Hip-Hop, Classical/Down Tempo........ Almost anything that he can work with or whatever sounds good. He likes to call himself Fusion (or to be more specific, Industrial-Fusion), as his songs can contain many different elements all at once.
