I play Melodic Metal with my Wife Blue Augustine (She plays 5 String Bass and does Vocals in the band hoping Solar starts a bass line;)) in the State of Hawai’i on the Big Island. We started our own recording label & studio, Made In Pain Records. Our band has released 2 Metal albums, Cinematic Masquerade(released by Sony Music & Universal, featured in Terrorizer Metal Magazine) & A Winter In The Void.
My influences include, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Pantera, Zakk Wylde,Testament.and My Wife;)
My Guitar playing is primarily focused on Tasty Rhythms, Captan Crunch Riffs and Spider action on the Fret Board.
Hawaii’s Metal Scene is alive & well, I have been honored to be a part of bringing Metal out from the underground belly of the Big Island, opening for Testament, Killswitch Engage, Cannibal Corpse, and many local Metal bands. Augustine 313 has become a well known Hawaii Metal band In all the islands , we are future looking headed out into the World.
Along the journey got picked up and endorsed by Mesa Boogie, EverTune, and Aero Instruments. Thanks to Ola & Solar Guitars for the inspiration to write more kick ass Metal from the Island with the active lava flow. We are Hawaii’s Metal Monarchs!!! Mahalo Solar Guitars:)
