Biography


Clemens is the older brother of Carach Angren's former drummer Ivo "Namtar" Wijers. He first started playing piano at the age of 7 and played with a local youth choir throughout his teen years. He grew interested in metal in his secondary school years and joined a band as a way of combining his new interest with his classical background.[1] He also studied music at the Tilburg Conservatory in 2002[2] before forming Vaultage in 2003, and later co-forming Carach Angren.[3] He has also completed a certificate in Cinematic Orchestration, taught by William Boston.[4] Wijers has mentioned that he is a fan of orchestral soundtracks from films and video games, and that he was a big gamer in the 1990s who loved video game soundtracks.[5]


Musical Work


Alongside Carach Angren, Wijers has also released a solo album[6] titled "Worlds" that is mainly a combination of industrial and classical music tracks.[7][8] He has composed the soundtrack for a number of short films, including Firefly and the Coffee Machine by John Michael Wilyat; an animated short about a series of drawings by an eight-year-old girl coming to life.[9][10] He also wrote music on Lindemann's album "Skills in Pills,"[11] and has written music for Pain and Ex Deo.[12][13] He also offers piano lessons through his website.[14] Typically, Wijers writes the composition for Carach Angren's music while bandmate Dennis "Seregor" Droomers writes the lyrics and stories.[15]
