Having harboured a lifelong passion for music, Efrem has been playing guitar since 1997 and although he quickly turned to the electric guitar, he originally started his musical education on a classical steel-string instrument; a medium he still uses to this day even as a basis to compose some of the heaviest parts he had written for the band. His strongest musical influences stern from his pursuit of individual artists, the likes of Marty Friedman, Steve Vai, and Al Di Meola, just to name a few, as well as from occasional use of more ‘eastern’ styled musical inclinations. His most favoured doom metal bands include Place of Skulls, Doomshine and Trouble.
