About Me

Hi! My name is Christian Muenzner. I play guitar for the metal bands CIVILIZATION ONE (Melodic Power Metal), OBSCURA (Technical Death Metal) and MAJESTY (True Metal). I studied at the Munich Guitar Institute (MGI). I've also played guitar on Necrophagist's Epitaph album (2004). In the past I have played many shows all across Europe (and a few in the US as well), a hightlight was defineately supporting Manowar and shredding in front of more than 20.000 people with Majesty in last July. Other bands I've played with include Nightrage (Sweden) where replaced guitar monster Gus G (hehe) for a tour and Defeated Sanity (Germany), and I've played guest solos on albums by bands such as Harmony Dies, Deadborn and R.I.P. Besides being a musician, I study Facility Management and currently work on my diploma thesis.
