NIELS ALEX LARSEN (NALEX)

Born in 1979 in Copenhagen Denmark.

For the past 30 years, Niels Alex has been a part of the Danish Rock & Metal scene.

Since his time as a hard metal drummer in the band PILGRIMZ, a lot of Metal has flown through his veins.

The hardcore Metal band PILGRIMZ released their debut album “Boar riders” in 2008, (Jacob Hansen – Studio/Tue Madsen Mix master) and played Festivals like Roskilde Festival and Sweden Rock the same year.

PILGRIMZ toured with several bands including GOJIRA, THE HUNTED, RAIST FIST, etc.

When they separated in the middle of the production of their second album in 2011, it gave Niels Alex the golden opportunity, to go forward with a new band of his own.

Niels and Jannick created the Hard Rock band STATEMENT in 2011, and their first album “MONSTERS” was on the streets in the spring of 2014.

Niels Alex is now killing it in the roll as Lead guitarist and songwriter, alongside with Jannick Brockdorf, who is the core of the band.

STATEMENT released yet another three albums.

The strong and praised “HEAVEN WILL BURN” in 2016, and “FORCE OF LIFE” in 2019, and “DREAMS FROM THE DARKEST SIDE” in 2022 got to spread their wings on a big European/UK tour, where they played with legends such as MICHAEL SCHENKER, DIAMOND HEAD, TESLA, PRONG, PRETTY MAIDS amongst others, and Copenhell Festival in the summer of 2023!

As any musician knows, when it comes to songwriting, not every masterpiece fits like a glove in the current band’s music genre, and Niels Alex has therefore decided to save many of his own golden masterpieces, and let them come alive in a collaboration with his good friend and producer TUE MADSEN/ANTFARM STUDIO.

Niels Alex`s first single “NEVER ENDING STORY” is now seeing the light of day!

This project is called NALEX.

The style, sound and genre of Niels Alex solo project is personal and his own making, but with inspirations like Metallica, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, Scorpions, Michael Schenker, Mikkey Dee, and Gary Moore, to his own Danish Kings of Rock`n Roll` – Tim Christensen, Kim Larsen and Jesper Binzer amongst many others.

Niels Alex says that it can never go wrong with these great artistic legends and their story`s by his side, and their inspiration is his road to follow.

He describes himself as made of Rock and Metal, and that`s what he wants to deliver. A piece of his true self.

Spiced up with a touch of melodic melancholy, hard rocking guitar riffs, spine-slamming heavy drums, – all put together in TUE MADSEN`s mixer.

NIELS ALEX LARSEN (NALEX) Født i 1979 i København Danmark. Niels Alex har de seneste 30 år været en del af den danske Rock & Metal scene. Siden hans tid som hard metal-trommeslager i bandet PILGRIMZ er der fløjet en masse Metal gennem hans årer. Hardcore Metal-bandet PILGRIMZ udgav deres debutalbum “Boar riders” i 2008, (Jacob Hansen – Studio/Tue Madsen Mix-mester) og spillede festivaler som Roskilde Festival og Sweden Rock samme år. PILGRIMZ turnerede med flere bands, herunder GOJIRA, THE HUNTED, RAIST FIST osv. Da de gik fra hinanden midt under produktionen af ​​deres andet album i 2011, gav det Niels Alex den gyldne mulighed for at gå videre med sit eget band. Niels og Jannick skabte Hard Rock-bandet STATEMENT i 2011, og deres første album “MONSTERS” var på gaden i foråret 2014. Niels Alex slår det nu ihjel som leadguitarist og sangskriver sammen med Jannick Brockdorf, som er kernen i bandet. STATEMENT udgav endnu tre albums. De stærke og roste “HEAVEN WILL BURN” i 2016, og “FORCE OF LIFE” i 2019, og “DREAMS FROM THE DARKEST SIDE” i 2022 fik spredt vingerne på en stor europæisk/UK-turné, hvor de spillede med legender som f.eks. som MICHAEL SCHENKER, DIAMOND HEAD, TESLA, PRONG, PRETTY MAIDS blandt andre og Copenhell Festival i sommeren 2023! Som enhver musiker ved, når det kommer til sangskrivning, er det ikke alle mesterværker, der passer som hånd i handske i det nuværende bands musikgenre, og Niels Alex har derfor besluttet at redde mange af sine egne gyldne mesterværker, og lade dem komme til live i et samarbejde med hans god ven og producer TUE MADSEN/ANTFARM STUDIO. Niels Alex’s første single “NEVER ENDING STORY” ser nu dagens lys! Dette projekt kaldes NALEX. Stilen, lyden og genren af ​​Niels Alex soloprojekt er personlig og hans egen fremstilling, men med inspirationer som Metallica, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, Scorpions, Michael Schenker, Mikkey Dee og Gary Moore, til hans egne danske Kings of Rock`n Roll ` – Tim Christensen, Kim Larsen og Jesper Binzer blandt mange andre. Niels Alex siger, at det aldrig kan gå galt med disse store kunstneriske legender og deres historier ved hans side, og deres inspiration er hans vej at følge. Han beskriver sig selv som lavet af rock og metal, og det er det, han vil levere. Et stykke af hans sande jeg. Krydret med et strejf af melodisk melankoli, hårdt rockende guitarriffs, rygsmækkende tunge trommer, – alt sammen i TUE MADSEN`s mixer. Dette er lyden af ​​NALEX og bare lidt af Niels Alex Larsen.
