King is a Norwegian musician best known as the bassist and composer of the black metal band Gorgoroth from 1999 to 2009. Gorgoroth's most recent effort, "Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam", was nominated for the Norwegian Grammy Award in 2007.
King and Gaahl continue to work together under the new name of God Seed. They will in the future present the music and imagery they have made and are known for in Gorgoroth, but under this banner.
King also plays bass in Sahg, a "gloom and doom flavored" metal band also hailing from Bergen, Norway. Their 2006 release "Sahg I" was quickly followed by several festival appearances and a supporting position on Celtic Frost's 2006 North American Tour along with 1349. Sahg released their sophomore album "Sahg II" in March of 2008.
Joining ranks with Immortal frontman Abbath, drummer Armagedda and Enslaved guitarist Ice Dale in 2006, this Norwegian super-group known as "I" released "Between Two Worlds" to critical and fan acclaim alike on Nuclear Blast Records.
In 2006, King joined former Gorgoroth band-mate Kvitrafn for the "noisy black metal" side project Jotunspor, which released "Gleipnirs Smeder" on Satanas Rex records.
King was previously the composer and bassist for Audrey Horne, whose album "No Hay Banda" was released in 2005 and won the Norwegian Grammy January 2006 for "Best Metal Act".
Moving forward in 2009, a new album and festival dates are in development for God Seed, as well as a new album and live dates with Sahg. King is also working on a new band with Rob Caggiano from Anthrax.
