Biography
Shane was 13 years old when he began playing guitar. After graduating college in 2000, Shane started his primary music project, Backmask, self-producing a full length demo where he played every instrument and provided both melodic and growled vocals. This demo served as a basis for recruiting touring band members, and by 2001, Backmask was playing live shows. The band underwent a series of touring lineups, and was in something of an embryonic state until 2005, when Shane decided to stop touring for a year and sharpen his songwriting skills.
In 2006, Shane scrapped all of the pre-existing Backmask material and began writing and recording Backmask's Dark Fiber album, which was later released in January 2007. A tour followed the album's release, with the band playing clubs and festivals across Southern California.
In 2008, Shane began to focus his energy on developing Recabinet 1.0, as well as producing, mixing, and mastering the Sadistic Deeds...Grotesque Memories album for brutal deathmetal band Bloodsoaked.
Currently, Shane is working on a variety of software and music projects.
