About Thomas: | I got into metal late in primary school, when a buddy showed me Metallica as we were learning to play the guitar. I quickly transitioned to Iron Maiden after seeing the Rock in Rio concert on Norwegian television, which blew me away. After that I had a long Iron Maiden phase where I pretty much only listened to them and tried to learn all their songs on the guitar. Later, I had a longer stint with prog metal than I care to admit, before going back to the traditional stuff including old-school thrash and speed metal. As I got older and my tastes matured, I got heavily into black and pagan metal, and to me Moonsorrow was the band that got me over the hump. I never looked back. I still love exploring new bands and releases with a passion though it is difficult to keep up! |
