Veith had been a fan of Destiny since the early nineties and a couple of years ago he met Stefan Björnshög which in turn last year led to a guest appearance on the coming Destiny album ”Climate Change”. After that it was only natural that after his relocation to Sweden that he would eventually end up in Destiny, who already had plans to ad an extra guitarist as compliment to Michael Åberg.
