Linus Klausenitzer is a German bass player, best known for being a bassist for a German progressive death metal band Obscura. He is also plays bass in a German/Dutch progressive death metal band Noneuclid.
Biography
Klausenitzer is influenced by bands like Iron Maiden and Testament. At the age of 19, he attended the Music College in Regensburg, and afterwards made a degree at Hamburg Music and Art University. After finishing studies, he did a lot of session work in different genres, and in the meantime, was in a number of different German bands, Fall of Serenity being the most well-known one. He was also a member of Noneuclid, a German/Dutch progressive death metal band. He first got into Obscura as a touring bassist in 2011 and not shortly afterwards, Klausenitzer was announced as the band's new bassist. With them, he has recorded three covers by other progressive death metal bands (Atheist, Death and Cynic) for the Illegimitation compilation album, that was released in 2012.
In 2014 Klausenitzer takes part in the brand new band called "Alkaloid" (First album "The Malkuth Grimoire" will come out in early 2015)
As reported on his official website :
In contrast to his bass playing in Obscura and Noneuclid he uses a mix of fretless and fretted bass sounds across the hole album. To accomplish this it uses different sounds and basses: “Ibanez ATK”, a custom 7 string fretless “Ibanez BTB7″ and the hybrid bass “Ibanez Ashula”.
