About Me


BIO:
Lars Eikind is a singer and bass player who has been a part of the Scandinavian metal scene for as long as most people can remember - either as a band member, a session member, a recording artist or a producer and songwriter.
He released his first EP "Rockjumping" with Jack in the Box in 1993, which was followed by the album "Stigma" in 1994. He, however, left the band in 1995. After some time Lars Eikind returned to the music scene with the band DawG. No albums were released with this band. At the same time Lars Eikind were a session recording member of the black metal act Tulus, and contributed on "Evil 1999" and "Cold Core Collection" before Tulus was reformed into Khold. Lars Eikind played bass on Khold's first album "Masterpiss of Pain" before he left the band for personal reasons. He also received the Norwegian grammy award (Spellemannprisen) for his vocals on Sensa Anima's album "SinThatic" in 2001.
Lars Eikind is currently living in Finland, and he is still active with the Finnish band Before the Dawn. He also sings in the Norwegian band Winds, and he plays bass in Age of Silence.
Lars Eikind produced Gloria Morti's debut album "Lifestream Corrosion" in 2004, and he's also involved in some of the keyboard arranging of their follow-up album "Eryx".
