Narqath

Tomi Kalliola, although generally recognised by his stage name, Narqath, was born in Finland on 11 October 1979. In 1995, he and drummer, Kalma formed the Finnish black metal band Azaghal.[1] Tomi has played guitar, bass and keyboards, as well as utilising vocals for Azaghal since formation to present. Besides Azaghal, Kalliola has played in many black metal bands and bands of other genres, some of which he plays all instruments for. Tomi makes use of both harsh and clean vocals in his music projects. Narqath has stated that singing in Finnish has become a part of recognizable sound for Azaghal. However, he has also had some thoughts about doing a whole album with English lyrics.[2] Azaghal remain mostly singing in Finnish, though, because their vocalist prefers to do so.[3]
