My name is Guilhem Arbogast and I have been playing drums for more than 10 years. I’m a huge fan of black metal and raw stuff. I’ve also been playing in several projects over the years like Alike dissection, Strynn, Black March, Allegiance, Archean, and most recently Iron Flesh. Iron Flesh is Julien Helwin project but I was his first choice when he was thinking about playing the songs live. He said he likes playing with me because I am consistent, groovy, able to play without triggers, and a nerdy guy… but really funny on the road!
From Julien: I started Iron Flesh in 2017 and wanted to bring back some old-school Swedish vibes. First, it was a studio project that’s why I still record the drums but when people suggested to me to play live, I searched for musicians with abilities, but more importantly, musicians from my city of Bordeaux.
I knew Guilhem and Sylver for a couple of years, and Seb (ex TGOO) joined us after we meet during a show. Two EPs and Two Albums later, the lineup hasn’t changed and we try to keep this relationship strong.
This video/song is from our latest album, ‘Summoning the Putrid.’ We are in the process of releasing a third album this year.
