Stian Aarstad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stian Aarstad is a Norwegian pianist and keyboard player best known for his five-year (1992–97) stint with the black metal band Dimmu Borgir during which he played keyboards and synthesizers while engendering criticism and controversy for appearing onstage and performing in a top-hat-and-cape outfit reminiscent of Jack the Ripper,[1] while wearing minimal corpse makeup and not moving or showing any emotion. Upon joining Dimmu Borgir, he didn't listen to metal music, preferring only to listen to classical.[1]
In 1998 to 1999, he produced a demo-EP for the unblack metal band Vaakevandring. In the 2000s, Aarstad had been the pianist for the band Enthral,[1] but left his regular position during the recording of the band's third album.
