Finally I find 5 minutes to just write a couple of thoughts about my 2012..

-This year I've joined the band Absinth from Norway with whom I've been playing all the summer in the main festivals/clubs in the south of the country.

- I've been on tour with Arcadia supporting the great band Mnemic, have been a wonderfull experience since I've been a huge fan of the mnemic for long time and it was great to be side by side everyday on stage as well as on the tourbus.

- I've been producing a bunch of great bands, young and less young, such as Polyvalencis, Emanuel Desperados and many many more; I've been working as guitar instructor with my "old" students (the ones that have been following me since long time) and many new ones, both things @ my recording studios/music school "Skien Gitarskole og Lydstudio".

- I released my solo album "Codex magika" after 2 years of composing and producing that. The album is available on itunes and in many other digital platform; this album will be also available physically in 2013, part of a great upcoming project... :) More news about that coming soon in 2013..

- I Joined the band "Ephel Duath" (USA) as live guitarist for the next 2 European tours and the next North American one, all in 2013. I already posted everywhere on my social networking sites/blogs the video of me playing one of their track You can still check it out here:

 - I Also have been on tour as session bass player with the band Concrete (Norway) in september, it has been a cool esperience as well cause for the first time in my life I've been playing an instrument with less then 6 strings..lol

In the end it has been a wonderfull year as well as so difficult.. In my music/working life I managed to achieve most of my plans and to put down the basics for the next upcoming year which looks already very very busy. I had the chance to work with so many wonderfull professionals and human beings and learn a lot of new things in work and in life.. I'll reveal soon in a couple of days some details about a new "top secret" project I'm working on in this period. I'm so goddamn' exited.. That's all folks, have nice holidays and see ya rocking in a free world in 2013.

METAL.

D.S.

Hey Folks. I recently joined the band "Ephel Duath" as live guitar player, we'll be on tour in Europe and probably in the US in 2013.

I love the band and I've been a huge fan all over the years..

I wanna thank Davide Tiso (guitar player) for giving this great chance to me.

This is the video of the song "Black Prism" from Ephel Duath latest Ep "On Death and Cosmos" played by me; I really look foward to play this tune live soon.
