Hi,

my name is matt aka DarKsidE555. I’m an aspiring metal artist and the guy for heavier material on this site. I’m open minded to a lot of different genres though, so don’t think I’m just a one riff basher.

My strength lies in composing heavy/aggressive and melodical metal pieces, videogame styled tunes as well as softer guitar compositions, which you will hear in my portofolio on this site.  

Music had always a big significance in my life and always will. I’m a self-taught recording artist since late 2005 and I am improving my skills in every resort more and more. Simply put…with experience comes quality.

This ongoing quest for qualitative sounding material gave me the chance to partake in several bigger projects from animators and filmmakers, such as:
