biography

Håkansson is of Swedish-German descent, his German grandfather fought in World War II and disappeared in May 1945. Morgan Steinmeyer Håkansson underlines his origins with the double name Steinmeyer Håkansson. In 1990, at the age of 17, Håkansson founded the band Marduk, which was supposed to be the most aggressive, brutal and blasphemous band ever. Because of Marduk, he dropped out of college in the 1990s. In 1991 he became a member of the black metal / death industrial project Abruptum ; After the departure of the founder Tony "IT" Särkkä , he continued the project, but the style approached dark ambient and noise . In 1996 he contributed the lyrics to Heralds of Pestilence for the EP The Ultimate Sacrifice and the album Wings of Antichrist by the band Triumphator .

In 2000 he founded the record label Blooddawn Productions and the horror punk band Devils Whorehouse; this came into being as a Misfits cover band but also wrote its own pieces and increasingly moved away from its Misfits and Samhain influences, which is why it was renamed Death Wolf. Håkansson also wrote the lyrics to Malach ha-Maveth for the album Death Holy Death by the band Nefandus , whose singer and drummer Belfagor wrote the lyrics to Phosphorus Redeemer for Marduk's Wormwood album.

ideology

Morgan Steinmeyer Håkansson with the Iron Cross , 2015

Håkansson is committed to Satanism and transports relevant content through Marduk's texts. When writing the lyrics, he is often inspired by the Bible, historical subjects such as Vlad II Dracul and World War II, as well as other subjects that are "absolutely intense, crazy, strange and weird".
