Neil Wiger is a guitarist and multi-faceted composer who grew up on Beatles and Black Sabbath compounded by Slayer and Metallica experiences. He is also known in the midwest rock circuit as "The Reverend Kowboy Luv". He calls the Fargo-Moorhead area home though he has travelled here and there.

He prefers to work alone in his small studio, as his results are more pure, and "raw".

He has played guitar, and or sang in the following groups - Tempest, Rocket, The Sleepfarmers, Postmortem, Dead Member and a few others.

Currently Neil is playing guitar in Loki Strike.

Neil's first musical ventures began in 1981 when he was five years old. His father Brent Wiger was a good friend of Moorhead guitar hero Kenny Raredon. Between Kenny and Brent there was no lack of good guitar teaching.

Later in his years, Neil began to dabble in singing, drumming and bass guitar. These experiences lead to his ability to orchestrate his own primitive 4 track productions. He's a real DIY kind of engineer.
