later in 2000s heavier bands stepped in form of black metal,

death metal and doom metal.

 

even though there was little band projects already in 90s, first

"real" bands started form; Strange Aeon and Portrait of Pain

 

by the time also interest towards recording and production 

started to grow and also first recordings on DAW were made

with Portrait Of Pain.

 

due to hand-injury in 2008 was close to call it all quits, but

didn't give up - learnt the guitar again.

 

joined Warceremony in 2009 first as session musician,

playing leads on EP Altars of War - to join fulltime member

week after sessions.

 

recorded full lenght "The Seven Sermons Of Sin" with

nerve-damage became more difficult - had longish break

from band playing.

elementary school-times - had a blast.

 

soon after that got invited to join Muria as drummer - had

blast again, but switched to guitar as long time friend and

former drummer from Portrait of Pain joined force -

still had a blast.
