Life and career

Story was born in Decatur, Alabama.[3] He is the founding member of rock/punk group Cancerslug, formed in 1999.[4] He has recorded a dozen albums with this band that encountered various lineup changes before being a long-standing trio with members Mike Horgan on drums and Cassie Baher on bass. Mike Horgan died in March 2019. In early 2020, Jade Jones (b. 1995) became the new drummer.

Among the bands that influenced his songwriting, Story mentions the Misfits, The Cramps, Dwarves, The Germs, and Fear.

Story has also played guitar in other bands such as Bela's Electric Freakshow and Used Skin. While remaining with Cancerslug, he has been working with side bands Clitrot where he plays guitar and does backup vocals. Around 2008, he joined Gorgeous Frankenstein featuring Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, ex-Misfits lead guitarist.[5]

In 2011, he formed the group The Ultra Creeps with Cassie Baher and Helen Faulkner. The band recorded a demo available through Reverbnation.[6]

Since 2013, Story also fronts the horror metal band Doyle with Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein. Story and Doyle co-wrote together the album Abominator, released in 2013.[7] [8] [9]

In 2014–2015, Story also released solo albums under his own name and some under his side project named "Born In Angel Blood".
