Biographie
As a guitarist and composer with about ten productions under his belt, Harun is a self-taught musician in constant evolution. He first became known as the founder of the band Trepalium (Death Progressive) which he launched in 2001. With 6 albums released on various labels between 2004 and 2020, he then decided to broaden his musical field. In 2009 he created Step in Fluid, a progressive and instrumental supergroup with which he released 2 studio albums as well as a live music video produced by himself.
Constantly searching for new sounds, he even self-produced an electro-ethnic Ep, during the writing sessions for the latest Step in Fluid album.
In August 2021 he participated in "United Guitars 3", a compilation of 34 guitarists including big names such as Marc Lettieri (Snarky Puppy), Frank Gambale and Popa Chubby.
In September 2022, his field was broadened once again, launching his first solo album entitled “In Motion”, an instrumental and progressive album. The critics were unanimous: it is to date one of his best albums alongside "XIII", "H.N.P", "Damballa’s Voodoo Doll" (Trepalium) and "Back in Business" (Step in Fluid).
These days he is returning as singer-guitarist on his 2nd solo album "REBOOT". This album contains Post Grunge and New Wave accents recorded entirely alone, marking a daring artistic renewal. With his favorite instrument, the guitar, he is launching himself unrestrained into singing, taking the risk of venturing into styles very different from what he was able to produce previously.
On stage, he has more than 500 concerts under his belt, including significant performances alongside Gojira on The Way of All Flesh Tour – 2009, and l'Enfant Sauvage European Tour – 2012, but also at major festivals such as Hellfest (2005/2006/2009/2012/2019), Motocultor (2012), Brutal Assault (2007) and Bloodstock (2015), just to name a few.
