| Musical background: |
Although I have played guitar and written my own music for quite a few years now, I have only played in a couple of bands before Forming Asatru, , these were 'Sacrificial Altar' a death metal band from Telford that only played 2 gigs, and 'Nothing But Contempt', a short lived project put together by Mark 'Barney' Greenway from Napalm Death, which originally also featured Carl Stokes ( Cancer ) on drums, and later Danny Herrera ( Napalm Death ), this band was shelved when Barney rejoined Napalm Death. |
| Do you have a favorite metal band? |
Bathory |
| Favorite non-metal band? |
I have respect for the Old Masters like Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, etc etc, and some Folk guitar is pretty inspiring too. Joe Satriani also |
| What do you do when you´re not playing with the band? |
Haha, I spend most of my time practising my guitar playing, writing lyrics, or writing more music or Keyboard parts for Asatru, I also write other more personal songs, which may, or may not eventually see the light of day. I also try and update this Website as much as I can. Also like online games such as DaoC & World of Warcraft :) |
| Favorite concert memory? |
Either Donnington Monsters of Rock 86 ( OZZY Headlining ) or Leeds Xmas on Earth about 1988( Big Thrash Metal gig ), also worth mentioning was Celtic Frost & Kreator at the Powerhouse in Birmingham about 1987-1988. |
| Worst concert memory? |
Pretty much all local bands gigs. All the same boring Post-Hardcore crap, or even worse them big headed Student bands, that bore me to sleep. thats why I prefer to drink at home these days. Crap local scene. |
| Best way to kill time on the tour bus? |
Read factual books about Viking history, write lyrics, Check out the Scenery if its interesting, & Drink some Real Ales |
| What about a favorite porno movie? |
Curse of the killer bikini Valkyrie girls |
| What´s your favorite Asatru song, and why? |
Nordic Skies, Because I love the lyrics. |
| A final message to all the visitors! |
Hail the Great Norse Gods, Viking regards to one & all.Let us not forget our past, Or stories of long time toldRemember, the many fallen, Who died in the battles of old.
