Sexepil
Vangel is the founding member of Sexepil. Vangel has been the drummer of the band since its inception. However, since the release of the Your Scream Is Music album, Vangel has become the singer and guitarist since the band did not find any singers who fitted the band. Vangel's voice was compared to Maynard James Keenan of Tool, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. In an interview with Open Air Radio, Vangel said that the other members of Sexepil looked into his lap-top while rehearsing and found a song on which he was singing. The other members convinced Vangel to be the singer.
In an interview with Heti Világgazdaság, Vangel admitted that he does not like listening to the first album of the band because he does not like the sound of the drums.
