2015 - The Last Year Of The Cobra

It all started in 2006 when the MÄRVEL guys asked me to become their manager, simply because I had ideas I guess and wasn't already bitter from working in the music business. Maybe I had new ways to tackle problems with and could find new strange paths still uncharted. 

Looking back at it all I believe I actually did, and most of all I had a lot of Fun doing all those things (tours all over Europe, full rigger festival transportation, filming documentary in California and whatnot) with both very good friends and other bands I decided to help out a bit. Over time tho it kind of grew into a time consuming non-profit making monster, you know the worst kind of monster, and had to scale down a bit to make my life work.

For many years I did have true hope that one day I might succeed in actually breaking through with at least one band simply because they deserve it, so I could resign with dignity. I always worked with my heart because I really believed in the bands and what I did and I knew the bands were better than most others but finally my heart was indeed defeated. It was so by the business of course and many of you will probably understand what I'm talking about and some of you will not.

I just wanted to say that I'm signing out soon. Three more planned releases on Killer Cobra Records and then I'm out. I have spent many hours, days and weeks having Fun - but I have also spent many hours, days, weeks being frustrated working for free running uphill and against the wind - time I will never get back and I'm no longer willing to pay that price. I will naturally spend more time with my family and I will work even more with graphics because I'm really fucking good at it.

I'd like to thank the bands immensely that I've helped for believing in me. And from the the bottom of my heart thank you to all the wonderful people I've met out there that have truly made it worthwhile.

Thank you for the music, I'm gonna do all I can to make 2015 a year to remember.
