Description:


Born in 1977 in Oslo and currently residing in Berlin, Cornelius was 18 years old when he and Lars "Lazare" Nedland formed the avantgarde metal band, Solefald. Along with being a lead vocalist, guitarist, bassist and composer in the band, he also handles the vast majority of lyric writing for the band. Solefald has since released one demo, and six full-length albums. In December 2005, the band was nominated for the Norwegian Alarm award for best metal album for the album, Red For Fire: An Icelandic Odyssey Part 1.

In 2003, Jakhelln began working on a new band. The name chosen was Sturmgeist, and the band plays an experimental style of black/thrash metal with lyrics sung in English, Norwegian, and German about Germanic mythology, war, and recitations of Goethe poetry. On January 24, 2005, Sturmgeist released their first full-length, entitled Meister Mephisto on the record label, Season Of Mist. Since then, Sturmgeist has gone on a small European tour, and has recruited two more official members, John "Panzer" Jacobsen on guitar, and Christian "Anti Christian" Svendsen on drums, ending the band's time as a solo project. Sturmgeist's second full-length, entitled Über, was released October 16, 2006 through Season of Mist.

Aside from being a musician, Cornelius has been a writer for a great deal of his life. He has had many writings published in newspapers and magazines and a tetralogy of poems entitled Quadra Natura and has won an award for it. The third volume of this four-book collection, entitled Fagernorn. Quadra Natura 0111 was released on March 16, 2006. He is also involved with a Paris-based literary review entitled Avant-poste, which was nominated for the French CNOUS annual award, as one out of ten cultural projects. He is also writing the libretto for a contemporary opera telling a story from the pagan times of the North.

    I am open to stepping down as the leader of this group seeing as I am not very active on the group itself and not as enthusiastic about the subject anymore. I would not give it to any troll so that leaves 90% of you out. Any serious takers?
