Welcome to my Myspace profile. My name is Michiel van der Werff. I am an eighteen year old guitarist. I've been playing guitar for over eleven years now. My main musical interest is with metal music, but I like other music styles as well. I give guitar lessons at my home. I'm also trying to get started as a session musician. If you're interested in hiring me for session guitar parts or if you're interested in taking guitar lessons, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected].
My main band is Weltschmerz. Weltschmerz is a black metal band in which I handle the guitar parts. Other people in the band are Valr on drums and Hreim on vocals. At the moment we are still looking for a second guitarist. We're currently working on an EP entitled 'Cry For War', which we will probably release by the end of june. We will handle the first pressing (100 copies) ourselves. More information on Weltschmerz can be found on our MySpace .
I also currently play guitar for TDW as a session musician. TDW recently released the CD 'The Haunts' through Nano Records NL. For info on how to order, go to www.tdwmusic.com. TDW is mainly progressive Metal/Rock. For more information on TDW, visit the official website or visit the official MySpace .
