He also has ties to Blasphemy Irkallian Oracle, Qrixkuor, Temple Nightside among others. As well as a long list of bands he's done sound engineer work for.

I used to follow him on Insta, seemed quite a family man. Scumbag.
Due to be sentenced May 2022.
I thought he was fucking retarded when trying to get him to mix the Malthusian album but this is another level. Off with his fat fucking head. Cunt.
QuoteI don't give a fuck who you are! If you are scum you must be put to death! You can share the stage with me and hide your scum ways, but once I find out then you must be destroyed. This is the only way.
Ryan Förster from Blasphemy setting the tone on FB.
Bolzer put up a very angry post about it too. What a fucking scumbag, never listened to Vassafor but it's a shame the other lads in Qrixkuor have to have this prick's name associated with their album.
Saw this as it broke last night just before going to bed shocking news. Literally spoke to the guy last week was buying a shirt off him. Met him a few years ago at a festival in Germany that IO played and of course seemed fine at the time. Vassafor was one of my favourite bands. Reading elsewhere it seems the rest of the band only found when the news article was posted online last night.
I don't know it is quite unbelievable. He was a guy involved in a lot of great projects who worked closely with a lot bands. Apparently he has a daughter as well which means this whole thing as bad as it is could get even worse.
As Andy said, he did the Malthusian album and we played with Irkallian Oracle a few times over the years when he was with them. Sick cunt. Forgot he had a daughter as well. He's too fat to get raped in prison so they'll probably just kill him.
Very scaldy for anyone making an album with him. How do ye lads feel it will affect your future listening to albums with him on them? Be like listening to a Gary Glitter or Rolf Harris album now I suppose? Only one I knew was Diocletian and I can't really remember it.

Or Zeppelin, Bowie, Chuck Berry etc etc.
Truly despicable, utter scum!

Whatever about Chuck Berry and Zeppelin, but I'm partial to a bit of Bowie so I'm just going to pretend I didn't see that.
Actually sickening. Fucking hell. He worked on some of the Vircolac stuff as well. I'm absolutely horrified.
What is the legality around crediting someone in music?
If any of the bands he mixed/mastered (or even performed on) wanted his name removed in future represses would they be allowed to?
I can't imagine he'd be chasing band down for doing that to be honest.
Who knew the Irish metal scene were such a bunch of paedo enablers.
M.A.R.P.

The only band it really should effect is Vassafor as that is his band the other bands he just played with for certain periods of time and it is hardly fair to punish say Temple Nightside or Diocletian for the actions of an individual outside of the actual band. Both bands along others have already disowned him a few hours after the news broke. As a fan this news was a shock and difficult so I can't even imagine what it is like for people who played along side the guy or were friends with him.
Aye it's very scaldy but as you say, nothing to do with other lads.

Looks like he's getting off lightly. I suppose his career as a musician and producer is over, too.
Saw that alright. Could've put on a suit rather than looking like a sweaty paedo but sure, that's what he is.
Christ, seems a bit light for the crime. On his career being over, I guess it just depends on who's willing to work with him. If he escapes being put on a register it will only help I'm sure.
He's probably still cool in the NS scene. Any oul bit of contrarianism will do :laugh:
Ah here he has to be finished. That sentence sounds like something you'd get for no homework though.
"You're grounded for 12 months, and no internet!"
And that's for "the worst category"? Great deterrent that'll be.
Who knows. A few days without reddit and the onion will do strange things to man. He may get twitchy, anxious, and irritable. Maybe he'll harness the nervous, pissed-off energy and write/record a deathcore album. That style is popular with youngsters.
Oh shit...
Hahaha. You need to post more, Crow.
He could always produce the next Inquisition album.
Definitely wasn't expecting this lad to look like Bill Ponderosa.

I don't think anyone who knows who he is would work him now. He may get work in other genres.
