Trail of Tears. Part 1 of a 3-part documentary we made of our Dutch tour 07.
Lucid Fear. "Mistro" recorded at Hammerslag 2004.
Lucid Fear. "Obsessions..." recorded at Hammerslag 2004.
I began my musical journey at an early age, listening to whatever I could find in my parent's record collection. Then someone showed me the Norwegian hair metal band Return and I was hooked! Shortly after I had worn out my GNR and Alice Cooper tapes and went on to whatever heavy music I could find. At the age of twelve I got my first proper guitar, a custom Kasuga Les Paul copy that I still use to this day. In fact it's my favourite one. Heavy music requires heavy tools!
Like most aspiring musicians I got into bands and projects and recorded in a proper studio for the first time at the age of sixteen. Since then I've been having a blast with bands such as Intourium, Lucid Fear, El Commandante, Venefica and Trail of Tears!
Although born and raised in Norway, I spent 06/07 at London's Institute of Contemporary Music, studying guitar. Pubs and pollution is something I can never get enough of, so London may still be my second home for years to come even though I've recently moved back to Norway again.
