About Lori Linstruth

Female lead guitarist Lori Linstruth released her demo CD of darkly melodic instrumental guitar music in 2004. Her instantly identifiable style captured the attention of none other than the mighty Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One), who promptly recruited her for his band project Stream of Passion. Lori also plays guitar and writes songs for her all-female melodic metal project, Warbride, and recently contributed some guest solos to Janne Stark's Mountain of Power.

In everyday life, she's prone to unpredictable outbursts of merriment and bestowing overly exuberant hugs on people who least expect it. She's pretty good about returning phone calls, but sucks at answering email. She's also been known to appear clad in her jammies in inappropriate places, to argue passionately for the usefulness of the serial comma, and to reluctantly write about herself in the third person. She lives a car- and TV-free life somewhere in the dark forests of southern Sweden where she keeps herself busy working and learning new things. Now and then she actually finds some time to play her guitar. Curious? Click your way through the site and learn more!
