“Engine was a Metal Supergroup featuring Ray Alder (Fates Warning) on vocals, Bernie Versailles (Agent Steel) on guitar, Joey Vera (Armored Saint) on bass, and myself on drums. We recorded two full length albums and played in Europe with Slipknot, Korn and Rob Halford. Most folks don’t know my roots are dripping in metal. Punk is something I stumbled into along the way.”
