Yesterday, on the darkest day of the year, our little town lost a really good guy way too early. Jontho started his journey through the cosmos, to the land behind the stars.
Our paths has crossed many times in the metal community and we always had a blast. From the insane parties on Brusemyrtoppen, “Huset”, Tons of Rock and Midgardsblot. Jontho was a guy that was always fun to be around.
With Jontho we also loose the band Ragnarok. They’ve kept it going since 1994 and Jontho was the only remaining member from the first line-up to the end. On Halloween 2023 Jontho stated:
Ragnarok dies when I die!
-Jontho-
