Biography
Gottschalk was a member of the band Hypodermic with whom he released a record called "In Between". After Hypodermic split up, he founded the death metal band "Deadly Sins" with friends Lars B.(Koldborn), Rasmus, Huhle and Brian Jensen. In the late 1990s, he joined Dominus and played bass on their final record "Godfallos" in 2000. A year later, Dominus split-up and their singer Michael Poulsen founded Volbeat. Gottschalk joined Volbeat in 2002 replacing their original guitarist Teddy Vang. Gottschalk appeared on the first two Volbeat albums The Strength / The Sound / The Songs and Rock the Rebel / Metal the Devil. However, after the recordings of the second album were done, Gottschalk was fired "due to different personalities and working methods off stage," according to a statement on Volbeat's official website.{{cite web |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=63671 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130201114137/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=63671 |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 February 2013 |title=VOLBEAT Parts Ways With Guitarist |accessdate=20 September 2008 |publisher=Blabbermouth }} Gottschalk later joined Illdisposed, replacing Martin Thim.{{cite web |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=86293 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120910231722/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=86293 |url-status=dead |archive-date=10 September 2012 |title=ILLDISPOSED Announces New Guitarist |accessdate=20 September 2008 |publisher=Blabbermouth }} He made his debut on the album The Prestige.
