Born 1980 in Stockholm, Sweden.
After graduated lycæum scientificum Karl countinues his studies at the University of Oslo (Norway), University of Linköping (Sweden) and University of Bologna (Italy) in ancient indo-european languages, such as norse, sanscrit and latin.
In the mid-nineties Karl's writing takes start. At first mainly in his mother tongue, swedish, but as soon he leaves Sweden he starts to write in norwegian (nynorsk) and italian/sicilian. In 1999 he starts on his collection of poetry named Norigsland, later released in 2006, which contains poems written in the same spirit as Vinje's Sturegut. He starts his second project in norwegian in 2003, Vald og sorg på nynorsk: Tretti dagar av Sodom, later released in 2005. In the begining of 2007 he releases Memorie di un passato dimenticato, a re-print of Amintiri despre un trecut uitat published in Romania in 2005, together with it’s twin-book Memorie di un’amore dimenticato. Both of them contain more personal poems in italian about his life in Iasi, Romania. In the beginning of 2007 Karl starts a project together with the romanian poet Vlad Sîrbu. The idea is to translate eachother's poems and therefore be available for a greater audience. The result, Viata lui Strindberg, was recently released by Paniskoi Productions.
In 1999 Karl starts his industrial noise project Vernichtung/Olocausto and a demo named Demo 1999 is printed in around 20 copies. One year later a more harsh industrial project is born, Krijgh, and a CD-R is released on Karl's own record company No Sound Production. But the very same year he changes the name of Krijgh to Anal Födsel and the sound goes towards white noise and power electronics. Some of the material recorded 2000 was supose to be on a split 7" with the swedish act Syndikhat, but the idea was discarded due to lack of money. Most of the material from the Anal Födsel album from 2000/2001 is found on the Project: Anal Födsel CD released in 2006.
Karl has also been a part of other music projects, amongst them are Hathir, Talibania, Digital Terror and Scandinavian company of folk music, and been collaborated with the italian artist Aufidena (ex-Viking).
