ROSS FERATU (guitarist for hire!)

About Me


I play guitar since 1990 and I am based in Essen, Germany. I co-founded the first ever German Graverock band named THE SPOOK back in 1999. I write most of the music/songs and several lyrics and I do most of the artwork, layouts, designs and merch for THE SPOOK, too. So far we toured through Europe several times and played some of the biggest and most important festivals.
The latest THE SPOOK album "Let There Be Dark" was recorded back in 2006 at the 4CN Studios and was mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap in UK. Mille Petrozza (KREATOR) and I produced this record, which features some cool guest musicians e.g. Dave Pybus (CRADLE OF FILTH), Goolsby and TB (both BLITZKID) and finally Miss Yvy Pop (THE POPZILLAS).
There are plans to contribute some guitar tracks for the upcoming solo-album of Dave Pybus (CRADLE OF FILTH). I am really looking forward to that, but there is no schedule yet.
Right now, I am going to work on several projects that will soon see the light!
Stay tuned for more details and info - it will be worth waiting.
I am always interested in new projects, ideas, studio recordings and touring, so if you think it will match, get in touch and drop me a line!
