Ashes To Ashes - The Great Deciever (Unreleased)

Norway, we got a shitload of metal musicians, and I am one of them. I`m mainly a guitarplayer, but I have also spent several hours having fun with bass, drums, piano/synth & vocals.

My main interest is metal, but I do enjoy other genres too. I have played in several bands, and have flirted around with all kinds of genres. I can`t see the point of sticking to only one thing when you can become inspired by almost everything out there.

I am the guitarplayer in the band "CONNECT THE CIRCLE"! We released 2 singles late in 2019, and 1 single + our debutalbum "THIS IS MADNESS" in 2020, and the follow-up called "MOTHER OF EVIL" was released January 8th in 2022. 

What kind of genre? We call it heavy metal, but our listners and reviewers call it a lot of different stuff :P Personally I am very inspired by prog-rock/metal, but also doom, hardrock, trash etc. and you might find traces of everything in our music if you listen carefully enough. Nowadays most people are referring to our music as melodic prog-metal. 

New single (NØKKEN) will be released in January 2023, followed up by a new album in February.

I am a former member of Ashes to Ashes, Lucid, Forbidden Forest, Unspoken Names, In Extensor and several other projects.
