In the break of the new millennium, there was a dream. An aspiring artist had a concept he was trying to create. To bring his reality to music, to take the listener to his realm. In 2000 Joel started with just a Midi synth, a mic, and a minicassette recorder. Recording samples from what he heard in the town of Sarasota, Florida. Creating an electronic/ambient collection of songs and themes. However, this was not enough, nor the expression he sought. In 2002 He progressed on beginning a career in local clubs for fetish shows and industrial electronica creating darkwave electronica and industrial dance. But still this was not enough. As time progressed he attempted to recruit a guitarist... but failed sorely. So, he decided it was time to pick up his own axe and create his own guitar solos. Years of hard work and progression brought him to a final creation. Agent De4th was born. Its guitars are gritty-and fierce. His Vocals are moody and Passionate. His Synth takes you to the depths of hell and leaves you to suffer. His drums will consume your heartbeat. Agent De4th is a complete solo-project of Joel Rippe. He records and produces every track, every expression therein. Best described, it is a theme to life.... meets an horror flick.
