About Me

Apathy is the creation of multi-instrumentalist Viktor Jonas. The band started as a side-project in 2003 when Viktor was playing the drums in a black metal band called Nattstrype . The band disbanded later that year and gave Viktor time to focus on Apathy.
In April 2006 Apathy released a critically acclaimed EP; "Cold Endless Winter", which, aside from Viktor Jonas featured Sebastian Gustafsson on bass guitars ( Miss Behaviour ) and Vidar Wetterhall (ex- Sarea , ex- Miss Behaviour ).
After a couple months of hiatus, Viktor began working on new songs for an upcoming release. In late summer of 2007 he was approached by Serge Farinas ( Simbelmyne , Amidst the Withering ) and collaborations were initiated. Serge added additional rhythm, lead and acoustic guitars to the songs.
I'm also the drummer of the pop/rock band Stoneboat:
I'm also the founder and webmaster of the official Eucharist website

Another review: HMAS.org

HMAS.org (7/10):In the wake of Opeth's international success it is of course bound to spring forth dozens of acts trying to emulate their sound. Sweden's Apathy have definitely lent the masters of pro...
