"It’s a mind-bending dosage of riffs, a guitar-nirvana, and above all a freaky tasty piece of music. "

 

- The Metal Observer - On "Sublte Realms"

 

While his roots in riff writing and lead guitar work have remained his main musical focus over the years, Eddie has yet to be defined by that merit, any specific musical style, or by the various roles he's played in his own projects as well as other collaborations. Wearing many musical hats over the years he has also served as Producer, Mixing and Recording Engineer, Bassist, Percussionist, Touring Musician and Photographer for various projects. Currently Eddie has dedicated all of his time to get his newest band "Hippie Death Cult" off the ground, which is based in Portland, Oregon. They released the critically acclaimed album "111" in 2019 and have been touring steadily and amassed a strong and loyal fan base that spans the globe. He has released two solo albums; "Beatitude" in 2010, and "Subtle Realms" in late 2013. Rock n' Roll band "Beggars Ball" which he founded in Los Angeles, California in '04 released "Fight This Town" in 2005 and "1321" in 2007. Eddie has also been involved, one way or another, in the making of over twenty other albums ranging in an array of musical styles over the past 20 years.
