WILL SCHUT
Will Schut (Boxtel, July 9th 1969) got excited about rock music somewhere in the seventies, after hearing the band Kiss for the first time. When a few years later he heard Van Halen's debut-album he knew fore sure, he wanted to play the electric guitar!
In 2002, after popping up as master of ceremony and jury member in Aardschok's Metal Bash Competition, Will started to record again, this time applying himself to whatï¿½s known today as 'shred guitar music', combining killer riffs with a keen sense of melody and a monster technique to back it all up. Again he asked a couple of singers for the vocal parts, which resulted in participations of the vocalists of Silent Edge, Dimension 7, Astrosoniq, Chirra Niva and off course Lafordova. The reactions so far have been more then positive, there seems to be a global interest for his latest demos.

With the arrival of internet Will is now investigating the best way to get his music across using this medium, and so far we can say that things are looking much promising.

WOUTER BOSCH
Born in 1975 and not dead yet! Two times third place at the Dutch Guitar Championship (1996 and 1997). Got the acoustic guitar at the age twelve, tried to sell that same guitar at the age of thirteen. But then a friend came by who was killer enthusiastic about learning to play, so I showed him some chords and stuff and suddenly I became enchanted by guitar playing. Never lost that thing since! Nowadays I listen to the myth: SHAWN LANE.
Besides racing on guitars I started racing motorcycles. Got my race-licence for the KNMV-CUP > 600 cc in 2001. I drove so goddamned fast, never did win no check red flag though never did come in last; third place was my best finish. I started on a GSXR750Y_2001 but these days I race a Honda VTR SP2_2002.
Last but not least: I read every word written by the great Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900).

LORENZO AUGUSTI
Born in 1963 in Belgium. As a little kid I already enjoyed listening to music.
The first time I heard Rock music I was 9 years old: Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, AC/DC etc....were the first bands I saw on television. From that day on I wanted to play guitar, so I started to whine: "I wanna play guitar, please mom and dad buy me one....".
After a couple of years my parents agreed to buy me one (finally), I stopped playing soccer and concentrated on playing guitar like Eddie Van Halen, Ted Nugent...
