About
Professional Guitarist, Composer, Recording Artist, ShredMentor, Author & VFX Artist
Quickly making a name for himself both as a founding member of Todesbonden (Prophecy Productions) as well as a solo recording artist — both as Ol Sonuf and under his own name — after releasing a rapid-fire string of 6 back-to-back solo albums from 2012 to 2017, guitarist and one-man-band Jason Aaron Wood has demonstrated a level of versatility that truly sets him apart, leaving listeners to wonder "What can't this guy do?"
Having already set the bar incredibly high across a range of styles — including neoclassical/jazz/flamenco-infused acoustic trios, classic metal/hard rock, atmospheric doom, symphonic black metal, old school death metal, and blackened death metal — Jason's music has been featured on National Lampoon's The Legend of Awesomest Maximus, and his most recent single "Sycophant" showcases his mastery of technical death metal: not only as a virtuoso guitarist and songwriter, but also as a vocalist, lyricist, bassist, composer, and producer.
