Biography

Nagash began writing music in 1992, together with Fafnir and Glaurung for a project called Troll. Fafnir and Glaurung soon left the band, but Nagash continued Troll as a solo project, playing guitar and keyboard. Wanting to be in a band and "express himself on all levels", he founded the band Covenant together with Amund Svensson in 1993..
Gaining a good reputation in the black metal scene, Nagash was recruited as bass player for Dimmu Borgir in 1996. In 1999, he left Dimmu Borgir to concentrate on his career with The Kovenant. At the same time, he changed his stage name to Lex Icon in order to reflect the artistic direction The Kovenant had taken.
In 2004, now known as Lex Icon, he teamed up with Shagrath and formed a new heavy metal band called Chrome Division. In this band he played drums.
Lex has reported that he had to leave Chrome Division and is now 100% dedicated working on the next The Kovenant album. He also currently reported to have joined one of his favorite bands, Crowhead.
He has also been involved in Nocturnal Breed and Carpe Tenebrum.
From the beginning of 2008, he recruited a full lineup for his former solo project, Troll. Their latest album Neo-Satanic Supremacy has been released in early 2010 through Napalm Records.
For a short while in 2015-2016, Nagash was a member of Norwegian black/thrash metal band Kvesta.
