A mysterious alchemy of sound is being harnessed within the sanctity of the "Fantastic Musical Lab"! Axe in hand, gear in place, levels check! Alas, the fruits from which the energies of the universe have to offer, the beauty of sound!

My name is Tim Swisher, I'm a musician/composer based out of Levittown, Pa. I mainly focus on Metal, Punk, Rock and occasionally Orchestral, I've been digging the hybrid stuff lately, Rock or Metal fused with Strings!! I enjoy writing in multiple genres as it allows me to express the many facets of my personality, and I do have many! muhaha muhaha haha!

In the 90's I was the lead singer/guitarist for the Philadelphia based metal band "Abolish". We self released an album that was distributed through Universal Music and were the first "unsigned" metal band in the area to receive weekly air play on 93.3 WMMR's "For Rocker Only show" (thanks to Ray Koob!). We appeared in rotation on 94WYSP's "Loud and Local" show and had a track placed on the first Loud and Local compilation CD. During my time in the band I had the honor of opening for such acts as Overkill, CrowBar, Morbid Angel, Fear Factory and even Iron Maiden (it was without Bruce, but yo it's still Maiden baby!)

The PC video game APB (All Points Bulletin) released in 2010 featured my Industrial METAL song "God Complex" as part of their artist program. You can hear some of my Industrial Metal here: http://www.myspace.com/insideyourfrontallobe

I had a few more placements on E! Entertainment (Thanks Peter!!)

  • 3 tracks on the E! special "E! Fascinating Celebrity Weddings".

October 27, 2011

Looks like I'm gonna have a few tracks in a new show on E! Entertainment. The show is called HOT LIST and the episode is Sexy Supernaturals (episode 3). I'm not sure when it's gonna air, but i look forward to the thrill of hearing my music on TV!  

September 6, 2011

Well season 1 is over :( but what an excellent start for a GREAT new show that was FUN and ENTERTAINING! I can only hope G4 decides to do another season or two, I think the fans would love to see more creative craziness!!! 

I'd like to thank Eric Hester and his taste in music :) This was a dream come true for me, the first TV show to use my music! I can only hope this is just the beginning of more great things to come!!

Make sure you catch reruns of "PROVING GROUND" currently airing on the G4 Network.

  • Episode 1 (Mario Kart), features 2 tracks!
  • Episode 2 (Gadgets from "The Goonies"), features 1 track!
  • Episode 3 ("Star Trek" away-team mission), features 4 tracks!
  • Episode 4 (Replicating a Quidditch game from "Harry Potter"), features 3 tracks!
  • Episode 5 (real-life version of "Mortal Kombat"), features 5 tracks!
  • Episode 6 ("Spiderman"), features 1 track!
  • Episode 7 (using "the FORCE" for real), features 1 track!
  • Episode 8 ("Angry Birds"), features 2 tracks!
  • Episode 9 ("Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse"), features 3 tracks!

The first season was 9 kick ass episodes! I'm assuming the future of the show will be pending G4's decision to replace Ryan Dunn after his and Zachary Hartwell's untimely passing in a car accident that occurred on June 20, 2011.

 PROVING GROUND : Ryan Dunn (MTV's Jackass) and Video Game Vixen Jessica Chobot set out to see if some of the most memorable scenes from video games, comics, and movies can be replicated in the real world.

On G4, Tuesday nights at 8PM ET/PR
