Carl-Michael Eide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl-Michael Eide is a Norwegian black metal drummer, guitarist, and vocalist. He is also known under stage names Aggressor, Czral and Exhurtum. He has played in various black metal and avant-garde metal bands. These include Ved Buens Ende, Aura Noir, Cadaver, Dødheimsgard, Satyricon, Ulver, Infernö and recently the jazz/rock band Virus. His drumming is quite unique in style, with very little repetition and a tendency to shy away from the norm. For example, many of the blast beats on Ved Buens Ende's Written in Waters feature a highly active and non-repetitive right hand, which becomes a separate voice from the foot and left hand, often playing in a different meter than the other two.
His singing abilities are diverse. Other than usual harsh vocals in black metal, he uses a form of croon in the avant-garde metal band's Ved Buens Ende and Virus.
On March 26, 2005 Carl-Michael Eide had an accident. He fell from a fifth floor and landed on his legs after a ten metres fall. It is not known how this accident occurred. He is now paralysed in the ankles and feet and will not be able to play drums again.
It is said that he is now back to playing guitar and is writing music for the re-grouped Ved Buens Ende
He was also a session drummer for Dimmu Borgir on their 1997 tour.
