Biography

At the age of 19, Klausenitzer attended the Music College in Regensburg, and afterwards made a degree at Hamburg Music and Art University. After finishing studies, he did a lot of session work in different genres, and in the meantime, was in a number of different German bands, Fall of Serenity being the most well-known one. He was also a member of Noneuclid, a German/Dutch progressive death metal band. He first joined Obscura as a touring bassist in 2011 and not shortly afterwards, Klausenitzer was announced as the band's new bassist. With them, he has recorded two albums - 2015's Akróasis and 2018's Diluvium.

In 2014 Klausenitzer takes part in the brand new band called "Alkaloid" (First album "The Malkuth Grimoire" came out in 2015)
As reported on his official website :

In contrast to his bass playing in Obscura and Noneuclid he uses a mix of fretless and fretted bass sounds across the whole album. To accomplish this it uses different sounds and basses: “Ibanez ATK”, a custom 7 string fretless “Ibanez BTB7″ and the hybrid bass “Ibanez Ashula”.

In April 2020 he and his bandmates Rafael Trujillo and Sebastian Lanser left Obscura to create a new band namend Obsidious.[1]
