For over a decade, Matt Krogen has been playing guitar and attempting to form a band, but finding long-term commitment from others proved challenging. With a deep interest in all rock and metal subgenres, a passion for doom metal emerged after discovering a 24/7 doom metal channel on YouTube. The song "Where Suns Turn to Grey" by Veil Of Conspiracy profoundly influenced him, inspiring the writing of lyrics and self-teaching piano. Krogen managed to secure assistance for vocals and album art, financing the album's production. He has released a hard rock album titled "Die Royal" and is currently working on a power-metal project called Melting Kandle. Additionally, he is awaiting the publication of his first sci-fi novel. As a multifaceted artist, Krogen continues to search for his place in the world. |
