2007 February Vision Éternel was formed in the tears of late nights. As love was not permitted, songs were created. And thus were born the firsts of this vision. Éternel creates concepts within all creations, and once done releases masterpieces of beauty. 2007 May 12th Vision Éternel is an ethereal wave band by Virkelix. …
-Phase 1.1 (October 2006 – December 2006) Vision Lunar is an atmospheric, psychedelic/progressive black metal band founded by Alexandre Julien in the fall of 2006. The idea came to him on Friday October 6th of 2006 as he got off the bus on his way home from a day of working at a local café. …
-Éphémère Part One (February to June 2010) In the early months of 2010 I was very musically active and this was likely due to a dark and depressive period which I was going through. All at the same time, I was finishing and releasing the third Vision Éternel extended play; Abondance De Périls, waiting on the …
-2010 band started in October 2010 with Bruno Duarte, though technically my collaboration with Immundus was never part of Citadel Swamp, in 2016 I decided to merge them to prevent confusion. -2011 It was on January 17th of 2011 that I proposed to Valerio Orlandini to collaborate on some music. I had been in touch …
On February 11th 2014, I read that my friend Marc Hoyland was planning to release two new albums in the year. So I sent him a message asking if he though he had any room for me to collaborate on any of them. He responded that oddly enough, he was thinking of contacting me to …
To finish: MTL4, MTL5, MTL6. Also “early history of recordings” Mortified Studios was officially created in January of 2007. Although I had been recording music since August of 2003, I never considered my home recording equipment as a studio until January of 2007. The name of the studio comes from my record label at the …
Get FB conversations with Simon Talbot, Tony, Guy Gaffney, Janie De Jeu, Victor Berger, will help with dates My interest in playing metalcore goes back to 2004 and took a small peek in 2008 with Human Infect. But it wasn’t until I made some real contacts that I could start to focus on something serious. …
I have always been a fan of 90’s emo and post-hardcore music. So when I met Simon Talbot in 2009 when he was playing in The Zyphoid Process (which later changed name to Great White North) we started talking about doing an emo side project together. It was mostly talk for a couple years but …
-Origin of the name (2008) “Lantern’s Awake” was a title with which I came up some time in early 2008, while I lived in the Ville Marie district of Montreal, at 2108 Bleury Street. I had no idea how the title would be used; either as a song title or an album title. I also …

Chapter 1: The Very Beginning (August 2006 to September 2006) Mortification Records was my first record label. Prior to its formation, I had self-released material by my other bands, The Slopin Fairy 7 and Throne of Mortality, without any record label affiliation. At the time, I was not aware of the freedom that one could …
The history of Vision Solitude is mostly comprised of sporadic ideas that quickly fizzled out. For a long time, I ignored the importance of this project, judging that every occurrence was a mistake and should have been incorporated in other projects. While this is mostly true, I finally took the time to write about all …
In the summer of 2007 I began working on some metalcore material. At first, it was put off as Projection Mina songs, but I was really interested in doing something in the veins of 90’s metallic hardcore. The problem was that I had never written material like that at the time and I wasn’t even …
There isn’t much to say about the band itself, because it was just a folder to store all my death metal ideas. It was never planned as a band because I knew I wasn’t good enough to play death metal or thrash metal. But the songs themselves have a story and I can do my …
I had just moved back to Montreal in late July of 2007 to attend audio production college Recording Arts Canada. I had found this dump of an apartment at 2108 Bleury Street and I needed a job to pay my 300$ a month rent. At the corner of Bleury Street and President Kennedy was a …
There have been many different version of the Triskalyon legacy. Changes were due to memory loss, emotional games and personal pride. But this is the true story. This is how it really went down. No bullshit, just as best as I can try to remember and with the help of ex-members. For the sake of …
To understand how Throne of Mortality formed, we must go back a year before, around October 2004, at the end of the Scapegoat phase. While attending a New Jersey high school, J.P. Stevens, I met Howard Change (Sabbat) by coincidence, as I was wearing a Mr. Bungle t-shirt or hoodie (I had both). That autumn …
The Scapegoat chronology is very hard to pin down. But on the positive side, everything happened in 2004, there is no doubt about the year. This can be narrowed down further to between April 2004, at it’s earliest, and October 2004, at it’s latest, which itself may be a stretched out period. By February of …
I first met Thomas Nunziata, Jr. during the summer of 2003 while I was working at the American Red Cross in Plainfield, New Jersey. I had been told by my school, New York Military Academy that doing volunteer work would be in my favor in view of the school board. And so I started doing …
The fourteen years, eleven months, and three weeks, beforehand. December 25th 2012 marks the ten year stretch of me playing guitar. I got my first guitar on Christmas 2002. So I felt like writing some sort of thing about how I got into music, the important parts of it and all those memories that no …
