Big love & shoutout to the dude’s who made this video possible: Johnny Ciardullo, Kevin Heiderich, Erlend Caspersen, & Declan White! I originally planned on adding “featuring“ to the title & listing everyone’s name there, but apparently that’s too long of a title. Lol. At any rate: Wouldn’t have done this video without em’, so thanks ya’ll!
Definitely check out the version with vocals (links at the top) - I opted to upload the drum video instrumental (people seem to prefer that), but Johnny’s vocals absolutely RULE! So make sure to give that a listen!
Here’re some relevant links to all those sick dude’s social media accounts!

& as per usual, lil’ backstory on this #Necrophagist cover! In case you’re unfamiliar, the song is “Diminished To B“ from ’Epitaph’ (2004). In all honesty, after covering “Stabwound“ several years ago, I was pretty content to be like “Ok, sick - I did a Necrophagist cover. Now I will never do another b/c that was really hard“ (Lol). But as ya’ll may know, Kevin Heiderich has been recording guitars for me whenever I’ve wanted to do a cover of something (which is sick!). He’s done so much incredible work for me, that awhile back I was like “Hey dude, you’ve recorded a buncha stuff for me... is there anything that YOU wanna do?! Maybe I can learn something you wanna do, just as a thank you“. Naturally, he selected a Necrophagist cover 😂🤣😂.
At first I was like “Dang...“, but luckily for me, he selected one of the “easier“ songs (... it still really was not easy. Lol). I figured it would indeed make for a sick drum video, though. So I agreed, & awhile later... here it is!
Erlend Caspersen did an incredible job with the bass - this is the first time we’ve had him contribute to these lil’ group-covers that we do. Big thanks & love to him! Johnny also crushed it with the vocals, & of course big love to Declan for another killer mix. All-around a buncha real sick guys - no doubt.

& lastly, thanks for your patience between uploads... I’ve had some very unexpected (& quite large) life stuff going on in recent months, & in all honesty it’s been quite a challenging time. But I’ve got a number of sick videos that’ll be uploading soon, including this snare-build video (finally!). Anyway, that’s all for now - thank you all so much for watching, & for your continued support. I really do appreciate it.
Much love!
