Some facts: Name - Arne, one daughter - Yune (°2005), happy together with sweet Lucifera since early '09 and counting!! Living in some small Belgian town called Mechelen.
My main hobby for years now is being frontman/singer of a metalband.
Did you know I wanted to join a band to overcome my irrational stage frigth? So I joined the Antwerp black metal band 'Ecliptica' back in 1998. After some rehearsals I finally dared to scream the lungs out of my body. In 2001 we changed our name into 'Gurthang'. This band unfortunately wasn't the succes we were hoping for. Luckily Herfst needed a singer. Soon we established a name in the Belgian metal underground and did countless gigs, even some at very big stages, with very big names;-) Unfortunately they felt the urge to explore ways without me... Not ready to retire I joined a newborn doom collective 'Marche Funèbre' and the reborn blackmetal legion 'Mortifer'... Beware!!!
Besides being a metalhead since more than a decade, I’m also a human person(?) I studied History at the VUB (University of Brussels). Afterwards I became a teacher for three years. Since 2005 I work as some kind of document responsible in a big company, nothing fancy, but hey, I need the €€€’s.
In order to keep somewhat sane, healthy and what not, I try to live up to some ethical codes. Ask me for details, but here’s a very brief summary: since I am concerned with the environment I try to keep my personal ecologic footprint as small as possible. This means for me that I eat biological food, don’t try to buy products of the big multinationals, I’m also a vegetarian (since my conception:p), furthermore I don’t own a car, I rather use public tranport, my bike or feet... Sounds rather heavy, I know, but first of all I don’t judge others who don’t follow my code and secondly, I’m a rather pragmatic kind of person, not into the extreme!
