THE JOMSVIKINGS - I am a fully trained dark-age showfighter and I fight with the Jomsvikings and Jomsborg Elag UK. I was trained with axe, sword and shield, spear, seax and florentine styles by Philip Burthem and his fight assistants Qanun and Norman Hewitt. I received personal training with sword and seax from Nikolaj Petersen (Raven's Elag) and spear from Dean Hobbs (Jomsborg Elag UK). SCYTHIAN - My Active musical project (Mix of extreme metal styles, mostly black, thrash and death). I founded this band with J.C. Volgard in 2004. After recruiting S.Vrath on vocals and bass we signed to Galactic Records in the summer of 2007 for a conditional three album contract.
