'''Carl-Michael Eide''' (born [[July 24]], [[1974]]) is a [[Norway|Norwegian]] [[black metal]] [[drummer]], [[guitarist]], and [[vocalist]]. He is also known under stage names '''Aggressor''', '''Czral''' and '''Exhurtum'''. He has played in various [[black metal]] and [[avant-garde metal]] bands. These include [[Ved Buens Ende]], [[Aura Noir]], [[Cadaver (band)|Cadaver]], [[Dødheimsgard]], [[Satyricon (band)|Satyricon]], [[Ulver]], [[Infernö]] and recently the jazz/rock band [[Virus (band)|Virus]]. His drumming is quite unique in style, with very little repetition and a tendency to shy away from the norm. For example, many of the [[blast beats]] on Ved Buens Ende's [[Written in Waters]] feature a highly active and non-repetitive right hand, which becomes a separate voice from the foot and left hand, often playing in a different meter than the other two. (This description refers to right-handed drummers; Eide is in fact left-handed.)
His singing abilities are diverse. Other than usual harsh vocals in [[black metal]], he uses a form of [[croon]] in the avant-garde metal band's Ved Buens Ende and Virus.
He has gone back to playing guitar and was writing music for the re-grouped [[Ved Buens Ende]], before the band once again split up in early 2007. Beyond that, he continues to write material for Aura Noir and Virus.
He was also a session drummer for [[Dimmu Borgir]] on their 1997 tour.
