Cornelius Jakhelln
Born in Oslo but currently residing in Berlin, Cornelius was 18 years old when he and Lars “Lazare” Nedland formed the avant-garde metalband, Solefald. Along with being a lead vocalist, guitarist, bassist and composer in the band, he also handles the vast majority of lyric writing for the band. Solefald has since released one demo and seven full-length albums.
Aside from being a musician, Cornelius made his debut as a writer in 2001. He has had many writings published in newspapers and magazines and a tetralogy of poems entitled Quadra Natura for which he was deemed the winner of a national Scandinavian novel writing contest in 2007. The third volume of this four-book collection, entitled Fagernorn. Quadra Natura 0111 was released on 16 March 2006. He is also involved with a Paris-based literary review entitled Avant-poste, which was nominated for the French CNOUS annual award, as one out of ten cultural projects. He is also writing the libretto for a contemporary opera telling a story from the pagan times of the North. He has continued to have a successful career as an author and was quoted in an interview stating “Being a writer is my job. And my music is… It’s like a “Nebenjob”, as you would say in Germany. A passion.”
Cornelius has a master’s degree in philosophie/lettres modernes from University of Paris IV: Paris-Sorbonne and a master’s degree in the philosophy of cognitive science with a minor in aesthetics from the University of Sussex. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D in philosophy and cognitive science from École des hautes études en sciences sociales and a Ph.D in philosophy from the University of Oslo.

Metalheads these days.
