After several years on the backburner, I am happy to announce 2010 as the year of awakening for Ol Sonuf. This Halloween will mark the release of the full-length "Glass Idols."

The CD is currently in production, and will feature fantastic session performances on drums (that's right, REAL DRUMS) and vocals. I am currently working out a lot of the details, and as soon as more information is finalized, I will post it here.

I am also currently auditioning for a highly skilled VIOLINIST in the DC/Baltimore area to perform one very fast and challenging part, in the unfriendly key of E flat minor. If you believe you have what it takes, I want to hear from you. CLICK HERE TO SET UP AN AUDITION!

Cheers for now,
Jason Aaron Wood

Biography

Posted Sat, 11/21/2009 - 3:01pm by jasonaaronwood

Drawing his inspiration largely from various shred guitarists, metal bands, and forms of classical music, Jason Aaron Wood has always aimed to push the limits of his playing, while still keeping his music very melodic and dark. His personal musical philosophy places top priority on creating powerful, emotional, and expressive melodies, while using speed and flash as a way to add intensity, rather than as the primary focus.

Jason has played previously with atmospheric metal band Rain Fell Within, as well as progressive metal band Ephemeral Sun, and is currently the guitarist of the atmospheric, Celtic-, World-, and Folk-music-infused doom metal band Todesbonden, and is also founder, composer, and guitarist in his own band, Ol Sonuf.

He is also an independent guitar teacher in the Washington, DC area, and continues to write many articles and create video lessons for his teaching website, http://www.ShredMentor.com/.
