Personal text: Life must be as fast paced as the music I listen to so I keep busy with work, and ultra running/backpacking. I consider myself a very well rounded music junkie that started his metal career listening to Helloween back in the late 80's progressing through all of the power metal bands that followed. Until one day I found Gothenburg death metal, and from there I dug myself into the dark dirty ground until I found myself wallowing in the quagmire of the Doom genre, only to be ripped out of my dreamy despair by the screams and growls of various other extreme metal genre's. Nowadays I fancy Viking Folk metal, and the well played out Pagan Metal scene... as long as I like it all others can fuck the hell off.

You do not need to look metal to live and breath it. Cheers!

RIP: MSR - Long gone but not forgotten.
