My name is Zack Zuchowski. I am the guitarist and vocalist of the Swedish Viking Death Metal band Odenwrath. I also have been a guitar teacher for over 13 years and I teach guitar at several schools here in Stockholm, Sweden and at the National Guitar Workshop in the U.S. I am also the author of a Metal guitar book called "The Ultimate Metal Guitar Riffing and Soloing Book". You can see a video about the book below if you like.
I was born in St. Louis, Missouri and lived in Detroit, Michigan most of my life but I moved from the U.S. to Sweden in 2002 to craft the art of Metal Music and travel through some heavy European terrain. In 1999 I received my Music Business degree from Wayne State University.
My previous band Cauldron played often on the Detroit, Metal circuit. We opened up for many great metal bands including In Flames, Arch Enemy, Moonspell, Nevermore, Malevolent Creation, Incantation and more. Other projects I have been involved with are Laid To Unrest, Orchards of Odenwrath and Kaput!
Adventure, travel and photography are another important facet of my exsistence. I have a castle travel blog called "The Ultimate Castle blog" there is a link for it below. In my life I have enjoyed travelling through large cities, countrysides, nature trails, castle ruins, Up Mountainsides and through forests in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Austria, France, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Holland, Scotland, the U.S. and Canada. Each voyage is an exhilarating experience for me to embrace the freedom of exploration.
