WHAT IS YOUR POLITICAL IDEOLOGY?
I STAND AGAINST demagogues who abuse their power, traitors who attempt to subvert our elections, convicted felons who believe they're above the Constitution, and the treasonous domestic terrorists who attacked our Capitol on Jan. 6th, 2021.

No. Nonviable has always been, and will always be an Online Project. I will NEVER do any shows, touring, or live performances.
WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INSPIRATION FROM?
The vast majority of my inspiration comes from real-world issues and events.
Â
I also pull a large amount of creative influence from the trailers, teasers and story elements of Tactical FPS and Horror games, such as Rainbow 6: Patriots, Ready Or Not, The Evil Within 2, Outlast, Hatred, and Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour.

My musical influences are: RØT, DEATHSQUAD, WHXRECRUSHER, HATER, CASTIEL, DEMOLISHER, FEIGN, PURGE, xKINGx, xCELESTIALx, PRY, SIX, Black Tongue, Improvidence, Fit For A King, Beyond The Aftermath, Boy Eats Girl, Science Of Sleep, Primitive Man, I Declare War, Immoralist, Bodysnatcher and Eminem.
