LORRIDI is a Folk/Viking Power Metal one-man band by Jan Magne Garte. Taking inspiration from the sagas of the viking age and norse mythology, Garte creates vivid images of the old gods and warriors through his music and lyrics.

Born in Norway, 1971. At the age of 16, Jan Magne Garte played bass in different bands starting in the mid '80s. Growing in popularity and opening for some of the most popular Norwegian Rock bands at the time. By the early 2000s, Garte started expanding his repertoire by singing songs himself and switching from bass to guitar.

Around the same time his parental duties would start to take the focus from the music, and his career as a musician   took a hiatus for almost two decades. Now after all this time, his love for making music has truly rekindled and the old musician has returned. 

All of his music is heavly influenced by the songs of his youth, from genres such as '80s hard rock, heavy metal, thrash, but also taking notes from the next generation of musicians.

Garte also has another solo project under his own name. 
All tracks were composed, arranged, recorded and mastered by Garte himself.

Echo Void is not a person — he is a presence. A voice from the void, untethered from humanity, time, or convention. His speech is minimal, abstract, distant — as if speaking from the shadows, not as a leader, but as an unyielding echo of what was, is, and could be.

Buried in Paradise is his instrument. Not a project in the traditional sense, but an antifascist program expressed through sound, disruption, and confrontation. It is the translation of his message into music — radical, introspective, and collective.

Echo Void is the consciousness behind Buried in Paradise.
And Buried in Paradise is his call from the deep.

Natural Intelligence generated music :-). And natural hands played... except drums.
