About Me

Welcome to my humble abode, step right in. This is the more personal part of my net presence so it is not directly affiliated with any of the bands that I am currently active in. So who the fuck is Nephente anyway? Well I am of Swedish origin and a stage + studio loud mouth. I am also a dedicated music appreciator and I go to concerts as often as I possibly can and I try my best to keep up with the current state of affairs as far as new bands and musical output is concerned. But I might just as well admit I do no longer keep track of all bands and releases.

I am a great fan of all things dark and gloomy with a “slight” preference for metal music but with time I have grown soft/tough enough to also admit I have always also been into a broader spectra of music as long as it feels earnest and gets through to me.

So this is me in short:

    Bought the Wasp 12” Fuck like a beast Bought the Earache collection "Grindcrusher" and life has never been the same Started playing bass Started growling & screaming (the latter perhaps in 1993) Was bassist/vocalist in Toxic Breath (thrash), Sickness (death) and Benighted (death/black) during 91-97 Joined FEAR the FUTURE [www.myspace.com/fearthefuturesweden] as a vocalist 2002 Formed NETHERBIRD [www.myspace.com/netherbird] in 2004

See you around and take care whilst traversing the dead black fibre grid.

Merchandise, cd:s and propaganda for things I am involved in.
NETHERBIRD is my band and my life. We have just released our first CD so check that one out for some of my snarls, spits and puke poetry.

Excellent albums: Unanimated - In the forest of the dreaming dead
