Blogging, eh?
Well, I'm new to this whole blogging thing but thought I'd give it a shot. First a couple things about me.
The name Deaden comes from the band I play guitar in. We play pretty extreme death metal and at one point got fairly big for an underground band. Then our drummer ended up injuring his arm which pretty much grounded us for over a year. Eventually, he moved out of town and that effectively broke us up. That was pretty frustrating. We had just been offered a European and South American tour that I really wanted to go on.
After not playing for the past 4-5 years we are now starting to reform. We are all at different places in our lives and have "real" jobs now, so it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. The drummer still lives in Chicago and the band is based out of Champaign, IL which is about 2 hours away. We are trying to get together as a unit once a week and a second time a week a couple of us try and hook up to write new material for an album. It's working out pretty well so far since I have to work in Chicago a few days a week anyways.
I'm married but have no kids, which is the way I'd like to keep it for now. I work in IT security which in general is a pretty cool job. It can be thrilling when you catch a hacker trying to weasel his way into the network.
As far as interests go I'm a huge gamer. I'm one of those guys that owns all the consoles and has a gaming PC. I actually spend most of my time gaming on the PC and enjoy playing online. I just finished the Word of Warcraft Stress Test and will be anxiously awaiting when it releases. I plan on using this blog to post my thoughts and reviews on games and the industry in general.
I'm also into movies and music of course. As far as music goes, I may play in a death metal band but I enjoy a wide variety of stuff. Most of the music I'm passionate about leans in the direction of metal, but I actually don't listen to much death metal anymore. I'm a big fan of progressive metal and find most "radio music" tends to be boring. I pretty much have respect for everything but rap, which I cannot tolerate. I don't much enjoy country either, but at least they actually play instruments.
Well, that is a little bit about me to get you going. I'm going to mainly by doing this for myself and if a few people out there enjoy reading what I write that is cool too.
