About Me

Welcome! I am Ronny, some of you might know me as the singer of Norwegian metal band Trail of Tears. The band tends to take up a huge part of my life but of course I try to squeeze in some time for a beer or 10 with my friends. I am a summer kind of guy and sometimes I think that I must have been born in the wrong country even though I love Norway, its nature and mysteries, and my heritage! I will try to keep this site updated regularly with things related to my activities and my life in general so do not be shy and drop me a line if there is something on your mind!

Upcoming Trail of Tears shows:
5.09.08 Wave Gothik Treffen Leipzig Germany
5.10.08 Brainwashing Festival Slovakia
8.09.08 Dokk Em Open Air Dokkum The Netherlands
8.14.08 Metal Mania Fest Komen Slovenia 14-16th date tbc
