My old Band Vanize. Vanize was a German metal band with Peter Dirkschneider (vocals), Marcus Bielenberg (bass), Pierre Fienhold (drums) and myself on the guitar. The band has released three albums, namely Twins, Bootlicker and in 2001, High Proof. Heavy Metal at its best! Vanize have also toured all over Europe with bands like U.D.O., Axxis, Running Wild, Testament, Warhead, Krokus. In 2000, guitarist Markus Becker left the band for personal reasons and so the remaining members started looking for a replacement. They came across me on the Internet and listened to some of my mp3s. They then sent me their albums and I learned five of their songs. When we met each other and played the numbers together, I really enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere with those guys. It was good fun so I decided to join them in 2000. We played a bunch of shows all over Germany in two years. Including support gigs for Doro and Grave Digger. We split in October 2002. http://www.vanize.com
