The Splintered One speaks for itself...

"My music is dark, romantic, rhythmic and bass-driven.I draw endless inspiration from old movies, wild animals, and redheads. As a disciple of the Nyabinghi and a student of the Gnostics, I wear the Conquering Lion on one arm and Baphomet on the other. All my guitars have names...but my amplifiers don't."
