Born in Karlstad/Sweden in 1974, raised in Forshaga, resides in Karlstad for +10 years. Drummer and songwriter in the swedish death metal band Vomitory since the band start in 1989. I'm also the drummer of the recently started death metal band Torture Division.
Past bands: God Among Insects (2004-2008), Eureka (1988-1994), Timothy Griffiths' Psychedelic Sunrise (1993-1995), Bay Laurel (1994-1995).
I love drums and I have played drums since 1987, when I got my first drumkit. Ever since then, I have always been in bands and I believe that's where you get the best practice, no matter what instrument you play. I suck at practicing by myself and always have, except for the first few years. Metal and hard rock has always been closest to my heart, ever since childhood, so the style I've played has always been metal in one way or another, except for my short time with the gothic rock band Bay Laurel (1994-95). I also play guitar beside the drums, but the drums have always been number 1 for me. But I'd love to play guitar in a band though, if I had the time.
