Playing acoustic guitar.

Hello and greetings, my friends. My name is Jeremy Minney, and I am the founder of Spinscythe and composer of its concepts. Spinscythe is a project I began in 2008 to find my own way in the world of original music. It started out as just a musical project, and still is one, but has gradually expanded into other forms of content over the years.

I chose the compound word 'spinscythe' because it represented both my salute to heavy metal and my obsession with scythes. The spinning scythe is also a metaphor for the nature of my music: Spin, for the ever-changing tempos and styles I perform in, and scythe, for my percussive guitar playing that is as aggressive as the metal edge itself.
