Bio

Alex Bosson knew from an early age that being a drummer was all he
wanted to be in life. He started drumming at the age of 13, taking private lessons
for about 6 months until branching out on his own. After that, throughout high
school and after that playing in local death metal bands and doing small self-
funded tours around the Western US. By the age of 21, he had slipped discs in his
spine and had to give up playing, potentially forever. That being a fate he wasn’t
willing to accept, he underwent 4 different surgeries, other various procedures
and lots of physical therapy over the next 5 years. By the age of 26 he was finally
well enough to get back behind the kit.

At this time, he and long-time friend Ryan Erwin started LUNAR. A
progressive metal project inspired by acts such as Opeth, Devin Townsend, Tool,
etc. Now, LUNAR is working on their upcoming 3rd full-length album to be
released via Saibot Reigns Records in 2023. 

Shortly after forming LUNAR, Alex met Jason Ashcraft and became the new
drummer of HELION PRIME. Alex played on the 2nd HELION PRIME album, “Terror
Of The Cybernetic Space Monster” (AFM Records) and the 3rd album, “Question
Everything.” HELION PRIME has been rising in the US Power Metal scene touring
with acts like UNLEASH THE ARCHERS and STRIKER.

Alex also spends the time in between LUNAR and HELION PRIME teaching; both privately and at multiple locations at SCHOOL OF ROCK, and also doing session studio, video and tour work. He’s done tracks and/or tours with DIRE PERIL, THOMAS MURPHY (alongside Gregg Bissonette
also drumming on the album), JUDICATOR, PLANESWALKER, HONOUR AMONG WOLVES,  HAMARA, GUNPOWDER EMPIRE, TRANSGRESSIVE & RISK SOCIETY. Plus upcoming releases from THE OBSIDIAN RESURRECTION, EX AEGIS and NEPHTHYS. 

 

Alex has had the pleasure of learning from some of the worlds greatest drummers over the years, including: Dave Hawkes, Matt Garstka (ANIMALS AS LEADERS), Tim Metz, Ryan Van Poederooyen (IMONOLITH, ex- DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT), and Ray Hearne (HAKEN).
