WhiplashCordsB | Brian, Heavy Metal Guitarist

About

Brian Sullivan is a NY-based guitarist. Born and raised in the melting pot, he’s mastered versatility. Growing up loving Pantera, NIN and the other classics, he hasn’t put the guitar down since his grandfather gave him his first one. He's a working heavy metal player built for big stages: he learns sets fast, plays tight to a click, and brings the same aggression every night.

Thoughtcrimes

Thoughtcrimes is a native New York chaotic hardcore & mathcore band built on ideas as much as riffs. Every song, record and piece of merch belongs to one dystopian world about surveillance, memory and the thoughts we're told not to have. The players are some of the most technical and fearless musicians in heavy music, whose résumés include The Dillinger Escape Plan and Glassjaw, but Thoughtcrimes is its own vision. It's chaotic, precise, and designed down to the last redacted line.
