Short Biography

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, while wearing minimal corpse makeup. Upon joining Dimmu Borgir, he didn't listen to metal music, preferring only to listen to classical.
