Florian Magnus Maier

Florian Magnus Maier (born 1973), known professionally as Morean, is a German classical composer, guitarist, producer, and vocalist of the bands Alkaloid, Dark Fortress, and Noneuclid.

[8] After the departure of Erick Rutan from Morbid Angel, Maier auditioned for the lead guitarist role, and was one of the 3 runners-up to take the position, eventually delegated to Destructhor of Zyklon.

We are not schizophrenic in that sense; we don't pretend to be some random, under-researched lord of hell with a clown face on stage and go back to being a complaining, miserable cog in the machine who hates his life after the show.

Progressive metal supergroup Alkaloid was formed in 2014, initially set up as a collaboration between Hannes Grossmann, Christian Münzner, Danny Tunker and Linus Klausenitzer.

"[19] In 2014, the Netherlands Public Broadcasting network NPO released a 50-minute documentary about Maier's life and his composition of a double-guitar concerto, featuring Izhar Elias, entitled Schattenspiel for the Zaterdagmatinee, whose performance took place at the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.

[20] In this documentary, Maier speaks about his childhood, heavy metal during his formative years, familial support and transition to flamenco and classical style guitar playing and composition.
