ANDREI IONESCU

Andrei Ionescu is the founding member of Taine band founded in 1993 inspired by bands like Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Coroner and Annihilator. Aside from music, Andy was really passionate about the history of religions, which he studied at university. During the mid to late 90’s, he collaborated as a bass player with the band Plutonium and there he discovered the technical/progressive death metal that will have a strong influence in his songwriting for Taine. He became a fan of Death, Cynic and Atheist, three bands that he quotes to this day as being his main musical influences.

For the "Lucifer" Rock-Opera, Andrei has performed the backing vocals for the track "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning".
