My guitar amp is an Engl Invader 150 with a Marshall Cab, and various pedals like Ibanez Tubescreamer and Boss Delay with MXR delay.

My main inspirations comes from Finland, with bands like Turisas, Ensiferum and Nightwish. But I also find inspiration in movie soundtracks, musicals and classical music., as well as some 80s rock like Yngwie and Gary Moore!
Your favourite bands? Metal and nonmetal!
Some of my favorite bands are Children of Bodom, Running Wild, Stratovarius, Yngwie Malmsteen and Ensiferum. But apart from the metal genre I´m a huge fan of more modern composers like Hans Zimmer and Thomas Bergersen!
What hobbies, apart from music, do you have?
American muscle cars!
In Norse mythology, which is your favourite character and story?
Loke! And my favourite story is when Loke and Tor are competing with the giants in different activities, like drinking and wrestling!
What are you listening to right now?
Omnium gatherum latest album!
Which is your preferred poison?
Wine!
Which is your dream concert to play?
Wacken open air is of course a dream concert, but also Sabaton open air and Sweden rock would be awesome. Actually, all open air festivals are great!
