Based in Cleveland, Ohio (originally Dallas, TX), Chuggernaut is a death-metal–focused guitar influencer and ghostwriter with a deep background in heavy music across multiple genres and eras.
Over the years, he has performed and recorded with bands including Donna Mea, Never in Ruin, Death Penalty, Hollow Point TX, Null, and Messengers (Facedown / Strike First Records, 2009–2013; reformed and currently independent). His live experience includes major festivals such as Riot Fest, Cornerstone, South by So What / SXSW, Stand Together Fest, and Sonshine Fest (HM Magazine / RadioU).
His work has been featured in Friday Night Lights (Season 1, Episode 11) and the Christ-Core documentary. Outside of metal, he is also known as Xvnnie Clvus (Xannie Claus) — a phonk / hip-hop artist under DeadShed Productions.
Today, Chuggernaut brings that entire background into a singular focus: modern death metal guitar tones that are brutal, usable, and unapologetically real.

✅ 9 Full Rig Captures
✅ 8 Custom IRs featuring Celestion Creamback and Vintage 30 speakers
Featured Amps:
