Daniel J. Fries started playing guitar in 1994. He never took any formal lessons, but an acquaintance introduced him to basic acoustic guitar playing. Shortly after he would discover the world of electric guitar playing. Later he took lessons in classical music theory at the local music school. He loves classical music, progressive rock and metal as well as jazz and fusion music. Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Vivaldi are his favourite classical composers.

A big thank you to Daniel Latsch, he created the beautiful and sophisticated Affector Harmagedon cover artwork, CD booklet and vinyl design. He also runs this website. I´m proud of his work.
Without my wife and kids, I´d be nobody: Mirjam, Laureen, Elisha, Eliana and Noah! I love you my family.
Love and peace to my mom, she´s been supporting me ever since!
I love you Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior!
