Born: 1980

Inspiration: Rob Halford, Geoff Tate, David Coverdale, Dio.
Favourite movie: The Shining.
Favourite drink: coffee.
Favourite food: stegt flæsk (roasted pork/bacon).
Hobbies: collecting horror movies.
Recordings: IRONFIRE, Force Of Evil.
Life ambition: becoming a rock star (play for a living).
Bigest fear: working a shitty 9-5 job the rest of my life - no fucking way.
Best concert: saw Bon Jovi back in '93, in Copenhagen, I was only 13 years old and from that day I started to grow long hair, that concert started my rock'n'roll addiction - and man I've been hooked since.
Bio: I started playing piano at age 15, but soon after it became too boring. It was the guitar that came to take up all of my attention. After learning my first couple of accords, I started writing my own songs, and soon I was playing in my first band "Dinosaur Terminators", later changed the name to "Misery". Found some new band mates, and formed "Decades of Darkness", where we played a mix of doom and death metal. It was here I stared singing. The style of music was soon changed, to more melodic and classical metal; the new name of the band was IRONFIRE. I managed to get my first record contract on Noise Records at the age of 18. Recorded two albums with IRONFIRE - "Thunderstorm" in 2000, and "On the Edge" in 2001. I'm still playing in IRONFIRE with a new line-up trying to find a new record label to have my music released through. One cold and depressive winter day last year, 2002, I finally got the break, The phone was ringing and when I answered it I heard a voice saying: "Hey Martin, this is Hank Shermann from Mercyful Fate, I was wondering if you would like to join my new band along with Michael Denner, Hal Patino and Bjarne Holm". I was totally amazed, now I had the opportunity to play with some of my favourite Danish metal musicians. Being a Mercyful Fate fan for years made that moment almost like a dream come true. I immediately answered: "Fuck yeah I'm on!" and when I asked if they had found a name for the band, Mr. Shermann answered: "FORCE OF EVIL". And the rest will hopefully be metal history.
