"I've been a rock writer since 1987 and have been widely published including appearances in Metal Hammer, Kerrang!, Terrorizer, Decibel, Record Collector, Music Collector, metal-is.com, various Guinness guides and other encyclopaedias and reference works, plus sleeve notes for bands such as Cradle Of Filth and Venom.

I also played keyboards in Cradle Of Filth from 1995 to 1997"
