Template:Guitarist infobox Carl Johan Grimmark is a Christian guitarist born in Gothenburg, Sweden October 14th, 1977. He has appeared with several influential Christian metal bands including Narnia, Saviour Machine, and Rob Rock. He recentley joined the band Beautiful Sin. He also has been a special guest guitarist on fellow Narnia bandmate Christian Rivel's sideprojects Divinefire and Audiovision. He recently recorded his debut solo album that is set to be titled Grimmark. In 2006 he joined Beautiful Sin. Grimmark's style of playing, especially on Narnia's earlier work, is often compared to the neo-classical metal stylings of Yngwie Malmsteen, or under a more broad genre, neo-classicism.
Grimmark is the main composer in Narnia, and on their album The Great Fall most of the lyrics were written by him. On their other albums the lyrics have been written by their vocalist Christian Rivel.
Grimmark has become a highly acclaimed guitarist in the Christian hard rock music genre as more people are exposed to his solid technical abilities, which can be exemplified by the fact that he is credited for playing every instrument on Narnia's first album, Awakening, and his unique approach towards incorporating a neo-classical sound into his music.
