Born in Stockholm, Sweden Henry Ranta started playing drums at the age of fourteen. After playing with various punk and metal acts it wasn't until the age of twenty when becoming a fulltime member of metal act Soilwork that his career really took of.



Six years of intensive touring the globe and recording / sessioning with bands like The Defaced, Terror 2000, Soilwork, and Noice, the chapter finally had to end in 2004, when Henry Ranta decided to take a break in order to concentrate on more artistic freedom and a wider variety of music.



Now a session musician, Henry resides in the US and his enigmatic drumming journey continues.
