Vladimir is a young Swiss guy, who likes playing music when he feels like it. And it's quite obvious that his timetable is quite empty, because he has numerous bands in various styles. Let's then talk here about MIRROTHRONE, his symphonic Black Metal band, whose "Of Wind And Weeping" is the first album, album by the way produced, recorded, mixed and mastered in the own bedroom of that infamous Swiss.
