Mike – Party Cannon

Known for his blend of dry Scottish humour and unrelenting precision, Mike of Party Cannon brings equal parts chaos and craftsmanship to the stage. His tone — “chunk, grit, fury” — perfectly reflects the band’s signature mix of technical death metal and tongue-in-cheek fun.

Mike’s main weapon of choice is his Seafoam Ormsby SX-7 with a custom bridge pickup, complete with pink unicorn and rainbow stripes, alongside his Tuxedo Black Goliath 7 with gold hardware and glow-in-the-dark stars. Playing in B Standard, his riffs balance ferocious 240 bpm blasts with heavy, crowd-crushing slam sections

“There’s nothing I’d change,” he says. “Both guitars do everything I need them to.”

With performances at Bloodstock, Obscene Extreme, and festivals worldwide, Mike proves that performance beats perfection — every time.
