About Me


My music-bio // Press the links and listen to my music:
Having played drums for as long as I can remember, music naturally is a big part of my life. I have played the drums in lots of bands. Among them are...
Nurse - Which I recently joined. We play melodic metal.
Fairytale Abuse - Danish melodic black metallers; with this evil six-piece I've recorded the album "The Perversions Of Angel VI" as well as the E.P. "Her Dark Damnation".
Jester's Crown - Heavy metal with guitarbased songs and tenor vocals, formerly known as Delirium Tremens. I play on the band's 2003-stuff.
Big D - Rock 'n' roll with a twist. It's all about energy. We recorded an E.P. in the Jailhouse Studios in Horsens (DAD, Hatesphere etc.).
Fluid Mind - Progressive metal. A meltingpot of insane musical ideas. We recorded some demos and an E.P. called Warping Wicked.
I also play the guitar and some keyboards. I'm very much into composing music as well.
