Ankherias / Severnaja

Where and when were you born? Vaasa, Finland in 1984.


What is your musical history? I started out in the tracker scene around 1997, making music with FT2 and listening to "demo style" music. Then I drifted towards a darker side: black metal, gothic, dark ambient, as well as psy trance and goa. Then I discovered the full extent of industrial music and knew I had found a genre I truly "feel". With Severnaja I want to bring together all the different styles that have influenced me during the years and take them a step further!


What are your musical plans for the future? Make more and better tracks for Severnaja, and get around to finishing an album for my yet-unnamed industrial project..


What do you do on your free-time? Role-playing games (Kult), graphic design.
