It’s been a lot of work, but the first single off my solo music project Rufus Rex and my upcoming album ‘Dead Beat’ will finally be unleashed this this Tuesday 4/19/11.

Welcome to my brand new website for my solo music project Rufus Rex. This has been a crazy idea of mine for quite some time and now I’m finally seeing it through and unleashing it into the world. The album is a concept about one man’s quest for immortality at the expense of his own sanity and the lives of the people around him. The style of the music ranges from a reanimation themed waltz, to a guitar heavy rock song about creatures that exist in the thin veil between worlds, to a 1930’s acoustic gypsy guitar song about hiding the bodies of failed experiments underneath your house.
The album is in the final mixing stage as we speak and I should have release information sometime in the next few weeks. I will also be releasing the first track next month as a digital download. I posted the intro snippet “Death Is Just The Beginning” here under the music section for streaming and over on the official Rufus Rex Bandcamp page as a FREE higest quality download. Follow the navigation links above or click the banner below to go directly to Bandcamp and download the preview.
I’ll be doing a lot of tweaks to the site and adding a bunch of new interactive sections, so please check back regularly and help spread the word about Rufus Rex. Thanks for all the ongoing support and when the world ends, I promise to share some of my reanimation serum……….for a price!
Here is a little behind the scenes video of myself auditioning drummers for Rufus Rex. As you will realize during the course of the video, it’s hard to find a good drummer nowadays.
I’m finally back from the dead to let you know that my debut album from my solo band “Rufus Rex” is just about finished and it is a Lovecraftian concept album about one man’s quest to reanimate the dead and free the human race from the curse of morality, only to be met with dire consequences and bloody revelations. I’ll be filling you in with more info in the weeks to come, but I thought I would drop by and give you a quick update. The name of the album is “Dead Beat” and here is the cover artwork by the amazing Thomas Boatwright.
I also wanted to thank all you fiends for the ongoing support of my music and all my other strange projects. Soon you’ll have some much new music, your ears will bleed.
