If you have the chance don't miss the covers of Metallica's "Battery" and Kiss' "Callin' Dr. Love" they released in studio in 1996!

Anybody here has any idea where is PETE BLAKK and what he's doin' right now in case he's still in the music business?

Or is it that you still don't know who's that guy... So, then...

Guitarist Pete Blakk (real name Peter Jacobsson) has journeyed through many known Metal acts. Starting his career with TRAZER, Blakk spent a brief period with NWoBHM act E.F. BAND before joining GEISHA and KING DIAMOND. It was in the ranks of KING DIAMOND that Blakk really forged his reputation, staying with the group until the 'The Eye' album. Blakk promptly formed TOTEM with ex-YALE BATE vocalist Jake Samuel.

The band quickly became more of a solo project, especially with the release of a promotion single in 1995, Blakk roping in assistance from guitarist Sven Cirnski (RAISE CAIN / SNAKECHARMER / BAD HABIT), bassist Hal Patino (GEISHA / KING DIAMOND) with BAD HABIT / THE FLOWERKINGS drummer Jaime Salazar.

Before the recording of 'The Secret Place' Hal Patino was replaced by Jens Lundahl. This later recruit helped form up the all star SILVER SERAPH band project in 2002 alongside the MAJESTIC and TIME REQUIEM pairing of keyboard player Richard Anderson and drummer Peter Wildoer with established veteran vocalist PETE SANDBERG.
