I started playing piano at age 15, but soon after it became too boring. It was the guitar that came to take up all of my attention. After learning my first couple of chords, I started writing my own songs, and soon I was playing in my first band Dinosaur Terminators, later changed the name to Misery. Found some new band mates, and formed Decades of Darkness, where we played a mix of doom and death metal. It was here I started singing.
The style of music was soon changed, to more melodic and classical metal; the new name of the band was Iron Fire.
I managed to get my first record contract on Noise Records at the age of 18. Recorded two albums with Iron Fire - 'Thunderstorm' in 2000, and 'On the Edge' in 2001. I'm still playing in Iron Fire with a new line-up trying to find a new record label to have my music released.
One cold and depressive winter day last year, 2002, I finally got the break, The phone was ringing and when I answered it I heard a voice saying: "Hey Martin, this is Hank Shermann from Mercyful Fate, I was wondering if you would like to join my new band along with Michael Denner, Hal Patino and Bjarne Holm". I was totally amazed, now I had the opportunity to play with some of my favourite Danish metal musicians. Being a Mercyful Fate fan for years made that moment almost like a dream come true. I immediately answered: "Fuck yeah I'm on!" and when I asked if they had found a name for the band, Mr. Shermann answered: "Force Of Evil." And the rest will hopefully be metal history.
