Origin/Backstory

• Pickles grew up in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, overshadowed by his favored older brother Seth. After Seth burned down the family garage and blamed him at age six, Pickles developed a lifelong drinking habit. His childhood was marked by asthma, “kiddie glaucoma,” and building resentment toward his parents. As a teen, he drank heavily, stole alcohol, worked in a restaurant, and played drums. He finally ran away at sixteen after his father told him he “belonged in a garbage can.” He took a bus to Los Angeles, bought a gold Gibson Les Paul, and chased fame. He eventually became the frontman of the glam-rock band Snakes N’ Barrels, whose other members struggled with severe drug addictions. The band collapsed at the height of its success due to their substance abuse. Pickles drifted away from glam metal, craving heavier music, and ultimately became the drummer for Dethklok—the only Snakes N’ Barrels member to build a successful career afterward.
