My name is Alex Tellier. I’m currently the drummer for the veteran death metal band Desolate which reigns from Worcester, Massachusetts. I started playing drums when I was five years old and I must say I haven’t even thought for a second of retiring from it. For almost 30 years behind the snare, I’ve experienced life changing tours and met some great people. I referred to Desolate as a veteran band mainly because they’ve been around since 1992 and like me, refuse to stop playing. When I was moving back from Texas to New England they picked me up. After I played my first show with them in Rhode Island I knew we had some excellent chemistry and we’ve been writing non-stop ever since. We’re working on a new record so stay tuned.

As a drummer, I’m proud to say that I’ve had the opportunity to share the stage with a variety of different bands such as Vader, Dark Funeral, Watain, 1349, Cannibal Corpse, Slayer, and many more. Moreover, being from New England, I have had the privilege of touring the West coast as well as experiencing playing in Europe. I started playing drums when I was 5 years old and I have been hooked ever since. With much discipline and hard work I was able to become an endorsement artist for Soultone Cymbals. Thanks for taking the time to read a little about me and I hope to catch you at our next show!
