Biography

Jason De Ron was born in about 1973,

Andrew Tompkins in a cemetery one night in 1991. He was there with Colin "Mosh" Mynard who was a friend of his, and Paramaecium's original guitarist. They were there to photograph the grave for the cover of the Silent Carnage demo.^[2]

Paramaecium

Jason got to know Andrew further when he attended a Paramaecium rehearsal as they prepared for an upcoming gig with

Repentance EP, and has added some guitar recordings to the latest Paramaecium album Echoes from the Ground. Along with Andrew, Jason transcribed all the music from the first two Paramaecium albums for the music scores.^[2]

Altera Enigma

After the recording of Echoes from the Ground with Paramaecium, Jason alongside

Jefray Arwadi of Kekal formed Altera Enigma and recorded a few songs. As both musicians are from different countries it became difficult to play together, both the musicians decided it would be best to send samples of their music to each other via the internet, so this means that both musicians could be recording the same song in two different countries at the same time. After a few months of playing the band invited Kenny Cheong who has once been a guest musician in Kekal, and after recording a few more songs Altera Enigma released Alteration. The album met with success, and the following year drummer Jayson Sherlock, who also used to be in Paramaecium

, joined Altera Enigma at the band's invitation.

Other projects

Jason is also in a progressive rock band called Soundscape alongside Jayson Sherlock and Kenny Cheong, they have released an EP entitled Soundscape EP.

After the disestablishment of

InExordium

, in September 2008 InExordium released their self-titled album. As of 2009, Jason is no longer a member of inExordium.

Personal life

Jason has been a vegetarian since 1994, and in 2001 became a vegan.
