History
Prior to working under the name Big Chocolate full-time, Argon was spending most of his time concentrating on metal. Argon handled lead vocals on Burning the Masses's album, Offspring of Time and toured in Europe with them on the Legacy of Blood tour alongside Suffocation. Shortly after that, a representative at Century Media Records reached out to Argon for a request to remix the song, "Disengage" by Suicide Silence. Argon accepted the offer and found that he loved the freedom and creativeness remixing allowed and began focusing his efforts on the entire EDM scene.
Shortly after the Suicide Silence remix, he released his first and second EPs, First Degree Revolution and Shacka Brah. At the time, Argon was still in college and was creating music for the fun of it. It wasn't until the late summer of 2010 that he decided not to enroll for the upcoming Fall semester and concentrate on music full-time. He continued to receive opportunities for remixes, released the I'm Shot EP and then was confirmed for Dance Gavin Dance's reunion tour in the Spring of 2011. He released his third EP, HiLion on March 1, 2011, that featured the title track single with guest appearances by the rapper, Grieves. On March 2, 2011 it was announced that Big Chocolate would be performing all summer long on that year's Warped Tour.
Since then he has released another full length album Red Headed Locc and 3 more EPs, The Red EP, Clean, and Couples.
Disfiguring the Goddess (2006-present)
Argon has been the sole member of the Death Metal project Disfiguring the Goddess for several years; he had produced 2 demos, an EP and a full length album before he began venturing into electronic music and still continues to release material under this name, despite not having as much time as he used to work on his metal releases.
In April 2012, Argon released an EP under his death metal solo project Disfiguring the Goddess titled Sleeper. The EP was released with a limited run of 1,000 hardcopies that include a bonus CD, containing extra content.
Throughout the latter part of 2012 and 2013, Argon worked on a new Disfiguring the Goddess album; it was later revealed to be called "Deprive". On 25 October 2013, he released a new track "The Pathway To Everlasting Nothingness", which he released via the website MetalSucks, as well as announcing that a new track would be revealed every week leading up to the release of the album. The second track "Death's Head Mask" was premiered via Metal Injection on 30 October; pre-order packages were also announced on the same day. "Deprive" will be released on 10 December 2013.
Commissioner (2010-2012)
After mixing his first track for Suicide Silence, Argon struck up a friendship with the band. He and Mitch Lucker, Suicide Silence's vocalist at the time, formed Commissioner, an extreme industrial metal duo. Commissioner had released two tracks before releasing their EP, one featuring Whitechapel frontman Phil Bozeman, entitled "Click Click Flash" and the other being "Consume" which marked the debut release by the group. The duo released their first EP titled What Is? on March 21, 2011.
Commissioner is now permanently inactive due to Mitch Lucker's death on 1 November 2012.
