I'm Pete, I play guitar! Having fun with metal guitar doing everything from modern and progressive metal, extended range 7 strings and 8 strings to thrash metal on a good old 6 string. Riffs in the styles of other bands, shredding and lots of fun with metal music!

    And "The Cynic" (first one) is very obviously in relation to the band Cynic. Not sure what "The Bland Conjuration" is, although I feel it's on the tip of my tongue. Also, love how "Technical (Death Metal) Difficulties" was kinda a TechDeath version of "Technical Difficulties" by Paul Gilbert / Racer X.

    Let me guess your inspirations for some of the riffs: The Shred Head: %60 In the Name of God (Dream Theater) - %40 This Dying Soul?? (Dream Theater) Thumper-Struck: Definitely something from Tosin Abasi. Can't remember the name. The Bland Conjuration: The Grand Conjuration (Opeth duh) Technical (Death Metal) Difficulties: Stabwound (Necrophagist) The Hammer-On Hero: The Pot (Tool) The Djentlemen: New Millennium Cyanide Christ (Meshuggah) Excuse my lack of musical knowledge if I'm wrong.
