Brooding, introspective, and heavy; the music of Chicago-based John Menich builds on the foundation laid by bands like Black Sabbath and Soundgarden, and incorporates avant-garde and industrial elements to move the music to the modern age.
After watching a video of Sabbath live in Paris in 1970, I looked into buying the reissue of the monkey SG. But it became clear that corners were cut. So I bought this standard to do some modifications...

Spending Saturday finishing the guitar for the last track on my new album by stacking tracks of feedback to orchestrate the outro.

Laying down some guitar for a last-minute composition called "the Wolf", which will be on my forthcoming album, Implacable Black. It's an ominous-sounding tuning I came up with that goes C,D#,C,D#,C,D#.
