Jeff Waters (Annihilator, Legendary Guitarist)
About Metal Bass Master
“Rich Gray’s creativity and approach to the instrument has really elevated our music. He co‑wrote all the music with me, as well as co‑produced the record…”
Grant Truesdell (Unleash The Archers)
DIY Band
I’m not intimidated to perform after many bands. But after seeing Ty completely destroy the stage, I had to make sure all my stage moves and playing were on point. The amount of energy that comes from the stage when LOtT is infectious. Expect many props, sparks, flames, and a singer who seems to be able to command a nation with his voice. 100 percent would recommend.
Josh Key (Psychostick)
Own The Stage: Vocal Performance
Lords Of the Trident is beyond entertaining, and one of my favorite bands to play with. Their stage presence is larger than life, Ty’s vocal range is killer, and the dual-shred guitar work is the type that will make your jaw hit the floor.
Jason Stallworth (YouTuber)
Metal Vocal Virtuoso Student
“Metal Vocal Virtuoso has helped me with my live solo shows. I play 2-3 live shows a week so I have to maintain my vocal health. And MVV has some great info on that as well as the warm-ups that I use on a daily basis!”
John C.
Metal Producer Overlord Student
“I never felt like I understood why I did certain things… Nic Z’s workflow … helped me solidify my understanding.”
Carl (The Afflicted)
Metal Songwriter’s Forge Student
“It’s helped us as a band so much and thank you for making this course! We are getting a lot out of it and we are getting to know more about music theory, too, so it’s a great help!”
Seth
Metal Music Theory Student
“My issue with theory was applying it in practice… all the concepts are presented using specific bands and riffs… a great tool for developing your own style…”

Frequently Asked Questions
What sets you apart from other course platforms?
Our collective team is focused specifically on educating metal artists and producers. Where other platforms invite experts or influencers in their field to create courses, many times those courses don’t meet the criteria for learning because the expert is not necessarily a good educator.
On the contrary, Spectre Academy is giving you a wealth of knowledge with expert educators to provide you the best possible experience for you to not just know what the pros do, but why they work on a fundamental level that is easy to digest.
In addition to being a global network and being affiliated with educational institutions, we can provide educational discounts as a recognized entity for music and audio education.
Do you have an payment plans?
While we support payment plans for individual purchases, we do not offer a payment plan for The All Access Pass membership.
Who are you affiliated with?
Spectre Academy has affiliations with several universities:
SAE Institute of Technology
The City University of New York
Spectre Academy connects several industry professionals to our students:
Adrenaline PR
Skateboard Marketing
Blastbeat Network
Metal Injection
Gear Gods
Spectre Academy can acquire student discounts for industry tools such as:
Apogee
Antelope Audio
Eventide Audio

Audiomovers
Sweetwater
Audeze

Native Instruments
and many more…
What format does The All Access Pass come in?
The format is an online platform. Once you purchase The All Access Pass, you will create a username and password that you will use to access the course. Once you have secured your membership, you can stream at any time, right from our website on our custom platform which lets you keep track of your progress and interact with your instructor.
Do I need to be at a certain level in order to make the most of this membership?
This platform was made to give you world-class tools and knowledge and learn how to apply it to whatever your situation might be. You don’t need to have a fancy studio and team to put into practice what this membership delivers. All you need is the desire and the willingness to improve your craft. From there, go at your own pace!
Can't I just get free lessons by watching YouTube videos?
You could. However, what sets this course apart is that it’s a hyper-focused series of structured lessons. In other words, it’s designed to help the serious musician make progress, taking your skills, creativity and business to the next level without wasting time trying to piece information from multiple sources together.
Not only is it nearly impossible to truly filter everything that is said correctly on the internet, you also do yourself a disservice by not making an effort to acquire the information in a digestible format that doesn’t waste your time. Get the information from verified professionals who actually want to see you succeed!
What if I get stuck and need help?
Inside is an invitation link to the exclusive Spectre Discord and Facebook Group, where you can join and ask for help. Additionally, there are hundreds of members inside who are happy to help as well. This is an exclusive group not available to the public. All other inquiries about the courses or All Access Pass can also be answered by the Spectre Academy by making a support ticket HERE.
I went to school/university already. Why should I do this?
Amazing! That puts you at an advantage in many ways. However, the music industry changes pretty rapidly and while a university can help establish your foundation it’s always going to be on you to continuously learn what’s new and current.
In this instance, rather that pursue the legacy model of a university, Spectre Academy have opened a new chapter on learning at an affordable price. You’re getting university-level knowledge at an enormous discount in comparison and still have access to learning one-on-one with a dedicated instructor. Plus, they’re on the same path as you… just a little further down the road! This is the new way to learn, and you get to call the shots.
Take control of your future without the hassle of institutions that trap you with loans and financial aid for a degree. Grab The All Access Pass and take matters into your own hands.
What if I only play one instrument?
Being successful in the music industry does not solely depend on your virtuosity as a musician. You must become more than just a musician. Some of the most successful artists are in fact just mediocre musicians! It’s the total package that really matters!
As educators, we have seen students fall short by thinking too small. Talent can only get you so far. You will need to create an entire business surrounding your music. It is a natural progression to see a student start as the musician, become the producer, and then the entrepreneur.
Spectre Academy will be the resource that you can always come back to to learn how to expand and flourish. We will help you navigate through the fog.
