About me:
.. Hi and welcome to my profile, which should be - in some way - be an extension of my website Thoughts Of Metal @ this locationThe goal of the website should be pretty obvious and this registration @ MySpace is also a tool to help promote more bands. Since some time I'm also on Facebook ( personal page and website page)
Of course, all this is done in my spare time, since I have a daytime job. But everyday gets brightened up with a touch of Metal, although one should be aware of the consequences and welcome the silence from time to time to reflect upon one's actions that day, life and whatever else that has importance.
On a book level, my main interest goes to Fantasy and Sci-Fi, though more serious works (e.g. about ancient civilizations, evolution, psychology to some extent, etc...) are very much appreciated as well.
The automobile industry was another of my interest, but due to time limits, I had to give that up or seriously decrease the time spent on reading articles and such, due to other hobbies and interests.
Music has taken over a big part of my free time: Thoughts Of Metal (since 2004), Rhapsody Of Fire (forum - since 2006, MySpace / Facebook - since late 2009), the MetalCast (since 2006). And since a few weeks (June/July 2010) I have taken up drumming again. Last time I hit the skins was back in 1997, I believe.
Anyhow, if you like the reviews (Thoughts Of Metal) and want your band to have more exposure by review or interview or airplay (MetalCast), don't hesitate to contact me.
Next to that, I try to contribute to the environment through WWF Passport. Yes, I'm not perfect, but since nature is a great source of inspiration and life, it's not something to consider trivial, whether it's forests, animals, oceans, ...

Greetings from Symbolizer (formerly Symbolic),
We are happy to let you know that our long awaited debut album Thanatos Unleashed has been unleashed! Featuring eight hard hitting and melodic thrash metal compositions, the album has been released through Hellion Records in Germany.
Reviews:
"Excellent examples of ethereal and aggressive thrash metal, characterised by a hail of riffs and dynamic solos, sung by the fine voice of Rasmus Kiaer"
metalbrigade .it, Italy
"Singer and guitarist Rasmus has a great, raw, yet melodic voice, fitting perfectly with the songs that draw influences from bands like OVERKILL, ARTILLERY, MELIAH RAGE or XENTRIX and ONSLAUGHT. You will find some very touching compositions that are great to headbang to. Killer debut album!"
hellionrecords .de, Germany
