About Me
King is a Norwegian musician best known as the bassist and composer of the black metal band Gorgoroth since 1999. Gorgoroth's most recent effort, "Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam", was nominated for the Norwegian Grammy Award in 2007.
King also plays bass in Sahg, a "gloom and doom flavored" metal band also hailing from Bergen, Norway. Their 2006 release "Sahg I" was quickly followed by several festival appearances and a supporting position on Celtic Frost's 2006 North American Tour along with 1349. Sahg released their sophomore album "Sahg II" in March of 2008 on Regain Records.
Joining ranks with Immortal frontman Abbath, drummer Armagedda and Enslaved guitarist Ice Dale in 2006, this Norwegian super-group known as "I" released "Between Two Worlds" to critical and fan acclaim alike on Nuclear Blast Records.
In 2006, King joined former Gorgoroth band-mate Kvitrafn for the "noisy black metal" side project Jotunspor, which released "Gleipnirs Smeder" on Satanas Rex records.
King was previously the composer and bassist for Audrey Horne, whose album "No Hay Banda" was released in 2005 and won the Norwegian Grammy January 2006 for "Best Metal Act".
Moving forward in 2008, a new album and tour dates are in development for Gorgoroth, as well as a headlining slot on metal's most famous festival Wacken Open Air. King will contribute to Swedish band Shining's sixth album, "Tillbaka PÃ¥ Ruta Ett (Back to Square One)" as a session bassist and will also continue to develop a band in the works with Anthrax' Rob Caggiano. A signature bass with Peavey is currently in prototype and a partner campaign with Coffin Case will be announced sometime later this year.
