GUY VERCRUYSSE
Guy (°1979) has been captivated by music whole his live. At an early age, he attended music school and studied clarinet, bass clarinet and drums. At the same time, he was active in multiple classical ensembles. At the age of 19, he ended his classical engagements. But it was already 6 years earlier that he got inspired by heavy music and started playing drums in his first metal band, while studying at the Academy of Art in Bruges. In addition to playing music, he developed a specific interest in music recording/production for which he went on to study at the TRAX-Audio recordings school.
In 2008, he founded the melodic death metal band Reject the Sickness together with guitar player Ruben Van der Beken, of which he is the driving force and lead vocalist. Via Ruben (who played together with Thomas in the death metal band Invictrius between 2004-2008), Guy got in contact with Thomas, two characters who proved to be well matched with complementary music skills. The flawless cooperation resulted in mutual respect and friendship, many plans were made, and Guy joined Thomas on his quest to get THRONE OF THORNS out there. Besides the fact that Guy has taken care of the backing vocals, he was foremost the producers-glue between all the musicians involved and spend hundreds of hours into the music to get the most out of it. Landing the project took several years due to all kinds of reasons, but he enjoyed every minute of it. |
