Wanting to be in a band and "express himself on all levels", he founded the band Covenant together with Amund Svensson in 1993..

Gaining a good reputation in the black metal scene, Nagash was recruited as bass player for Dimmu Borgir in 1996. In 1999, he left Dimmu Borgir to concentrate on his career with The Kovenant. At the same time, he changed his stage name to Lex Icon in order to reflect the artistic direction The Kovenant had taken.

In 2004, now known as Lex Icon, he teamed up with Shagrath and formed a new heavy metal band called Chrome Division. In this band he played drums.

Lex has reported that he had to leave Chrome Division and is now 100% dedicated working on the next The Kovenant album. He also currently reported to have joined one of his favorite bands, Crowhead.
