Guillaume Dulhoste
Guillaume has been involved in underground Metal journalism for the past ten years. He has written for a variety of publications, including O2 (former AH) as well as Leprozy (Print). In his function as an editor and radio moderator for Metalland.com, he assisted bands in finding distribution deals, never hiding his preference for the more extreme edges of the genre. After spending his youth in France, subsequent stays in England, Ireland and Spain have served to fortify his conviction of the international dimensions of Metal. Years ago, he recorded an album of self-proclaimed "bad Grind/Thrash/Death" on a single day with a project called Goregrumm - it remains a "private edition"-only item. Guillaume currently lives in Münster, Germany and heads the tokafi column "Metal Visions International".
