A newly written song for the reunion of my very first band; Arena. It's a very raw pre-production and it's something I put together in approximately an hour, so don't take it too seriously ;)

The Scars and The Shame

Musician based in Gothenburg/Sweden. For the moment bass player in the Stockholm/Gothenburg based death metal/hardcore band the RESISTANCE. Previously in  Massive Audio Nerve (a.k.a M.A.N) which have released 4 full length albums; "Obey, Consume, Reject" (2006), "Peacenemy" (2008), "Massive Audio Nerve" (2010) and "Cancer Vulgaris" (2013). Also the founding member of the grindcore act Relevant Few which released "Who Are Those Of Leadership?" (2001), "The Art Of Today" (2003) and the split CD with Afgrund in 2007.

Been bass player/songwriter and member in: Ton Of Bricks, Slave State, Gooseflesh, Kerozene, Engel, Outshine, Hide The Knives and Tribute bands like: Desert Plains (Judas Priest Tribute), Plantera (Pantera Tribute..still active), Kung Diamant (King Diamond Tribute). Also been collaborating with Andy La Rocque, Snowy Shaw and Sharlee D´Angelo in the project Illwill during the time between 1993-1998. I'm working on new stuff all the time, such as lyrics and music. Also been some kind of a journalist for some metal magazines, fanzines and webzines and done interviews with bands like Sick of it All, Ill Niño, Napalm Death, Strapping Young Lad (Devin Townsend), Cult Of Luna, Life Of Agony, Sepultura etc. 

Right now I'm busy writing new material for the next Massive Audio Nerve album, due out some time next year (2012) and the "new" project Them & Us, which I also lay down some vocals for, cause we haven't found the right vocalist yet for it. This band (project) is more in the style of NIN, Placebo, A Perfect Circle, I guess. There's also a new metal project in the making as well that goes under the name None, in the style of Killswitch Engage, In Flames, Soilwork etc.

So Thanx for stopping by and hope you enjoy the music. /R
