THE BAND
Mak’Vaerk – Fast feet and dirty tricks from Aarhus in Denmark
Mak'Vaerk has created their own strong musical expression. The music is based on solid hard-pumped guitar riffs, a tight and hard hitting rythmic section, melodic choruses, musical peculiarities and a powerful vocal - all mixed in an energetic and well-balanced
combination allowing Mak'Vaerk to play their heavy music as we all love it flavored with ear-hanging pop-rock refrains.
The band was founded in 2013 by guitarist Martin Kjaer and drummer Michael Marquart – both with a past from the legendary Danish metal band Kruzial. In the spring of 2014 Kim jonassen, former 6ft Auto Return bassist, was added to the lineup. Kristian Ehlers from Five Dollar Justice completed the lineup in the summer of 2014.
