Artist and press reviews alike have been outstanding:

"The Turk" owns crushing guitar sounds, yet still displays Malmsteenian influences - Markus Ganzherrlich, Rock Metal Bands

Some of the sweetest riffs I've ever heard. The proverbial "tip of the hat to you" Sir Matthew Rick Frost Dec 28

Data acquired from ReverbNation and Jango indicates extremely high engagement metrics with fans and artists of multiple genres including metal, folk, and jazz. Women ages 35-44 and men ages 25-44 scored the highest engagement, some listening repeatedly to the entire EP. Regression models suggest continued organic growth in plays through Q2, 2011 as Etherati enters distribution.

Between October, 2009 and August, 2010 Matthew played guitar with the Seattle hard rock outfit Zombie Jihad, lead by guitarist Kenan Kelley and featuring vocalist Sean Aust, bassist Christian Mark Wilson, and drummer Jerry Willits.

While living and working in Austin between 1995 and 2005 Matthew played in the tech scene underground band H4ck, a power trio supported by bassist Daniel Easton and drummer Brett Hopkins.
