Drummer Christoph Schellöh was part of the original line-up of Burden of Grief, the German death/thrash metal act. The band started out in 1994.



At the end of 1999 drummer Christoph Schellöh left the band because of personal reasons and caused the first line-up change in the history of Burden of Grief. The new drummer who joined the band after a short time was Christian Nürnberg. Unfortunately he couldn’t take part on the forthcoming festivals-shows, because of his military service. Therefore the band decided to engage another drummer to play all gigs this year. They found him in the person of Carsten Schmerer.
