So, I have two differing dominant personalities – The Saw and Erika. When I was little the two were less pronounced or identifiable, but upon reflection of my thoughts and actions of the time, they were formulating and strengthening. I loved “girl" things, but also things that weren’t usually associated as “girly.” Later, in grade … Continue reading Ordering the Multiple Personalities: E. and The Saw
Gatecreeper – An Unexpected Reality (2021)
Gatecreeper is a Death Metal band out of Arizona that quickly became one of my favorites. They formed in 2013, so they have done a lot of work in a relatively short amount of time.

Album Review: Boundaries – Your Receding Warmth (2020)
If you know me, you know that I love me some 2008 sounding metalcore. I have been wanting a band to incorporate that sound back into their music now because the riffs and the ambiance of the metalcore back in 2008 is so technical and precise. It makes for a beautiful and heavy sound. Well, … Continue reading Album Review: Boundaries – Your Receding Warmth (2020)
