Greetings traveller,
Who am I? Perhap you have met me twix sleep and wake? In the penumbra of uncertainty you call unconsciousness.
Or perhaps you’ve met me at a book signing…
I’m Garth Mere.....son of a bitch
I have a beautiful girlfriend named Jess. I love her so much, always and forever.
I studied Building Design for 1 year - but it sucked balls so i then studied Music Industry (Business) at Victoria University in Sunbury in 2007. Great course, comes highly recommended from me!
In May 2006 i went backpacking around Europe with a group of friends. Our mainstay was at the Football World Cup in Germany but we also traveled all around Germany, France (Paris and Mont Saint Michel), UK (London, Bath, Oxford, Scotland), Czech Republic, SCANDINAVIA!! (Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Oslo, Flam and the Western Fjords, Helsinki, Lapland), and finished off with Austria and Oktoberfest in Munich!
Crazy times all along the way, but the best time without a doubt was my time spent at the fields of WACKEN OPEN AIR. Got to see my favourite band ever, the mighty AMON AMARTH, along with other favourites such as Wintersun, Korpiklaani, Arch Enemy, Opeth and so on...
Epic trains trips were another major feature in my journey. The euro highlight of this came via Joe and my trip from Finland to Germany. In total, during a 52 hour period, we were travelling on a train or bus for 48.5 of those hours! Killed us dearly, but was sooo good. We met German Melodic Death Metal band FEAR MY THOUGHTS in one stretch of that journey of epic proportions.
I am fascinated by Norse Mythology, Vikings and Scandinavia in general and it was such an amazing experience for me to visit these Nordic countries and learn the customs and ways of life from the Viking ages. Also got to check out actual Viking ships in Oslo! Simply amazing!
Now, onto other stuff... Im right into music if that wasn't already apparent. I live for my heavy metal. Especially Melodic Death, Viking/Folk/Pagan ....and bits of most other metal sub genres.
Love my Aussie metal too. Check out my music section if your interested.
