Karl Buechner is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on December 23, 1970 in Syracuse, New York, United States. Karl Buechner was born on December 23, 1970 , in Syracuse, New York. He is of German as well as Irish roots. When he was in his teenage years, Buechner got into punk rock through his cousin , and skateboarding. He became a lover of bands like The Dead Kennedys and Subhumans, and also having travelled across the country to take part in skate contests. When he was 15 Buechner saw Cro- Mags music video “We Gotta Know” that “was the spark that set off” his passion for punk music that was hardcore in the years following Buechner would refer to The Age of Quarrel as “still the greatest hardcore album of all time”. In the midst of that, Syracuse was going through an extended recession, and criminal activity and illicit drug trade was beginning to grow. A lot of Buechner skaters’ friends began drinking alcohol and drugs which led to one’s death and others became more affected, which prompted him to change his lifestyle to straight edge. The Buechner family and others Earth Crisis members’ families also experienced incidents of tragedy and random acts violence as well as the robberies. According to Buechner “to an extent we were kind of the products of [those] experience[s], but we didn’t join with it, we rebelled against it.”

The majority of the Buechner family are vegetarian. Buechner became a pescetarian around 16 when his sister gave him an PETA magazine featuring images of animals being held in cages in slaughterhouses. When he was 18, he shifted to vegetarianism, and then shortly thereafter becoming vegan, gaining an understanding of discussions about animal liberation about his grandma. The original vocalist from Earth Crisis, DJ Rose says that Buechner together with Buechner visited Albany where they came across Dave Stein and Steve Reddy who taught the group about animal rights prior to when they formed the group in 1989. In the following years, Buechner became a volunteer at the Syracuse Wildlife Rehabilitation Center where the animals were treated with gasoline and beaten in various ways, which left “quite an impression on” him , and he attributes it to the rage recorded in their early albums.

In early 2001, he began singing for Freya (formatively titled Nemesis and End Begins after EC songs) with two members of Earth Crisis plus two other members. They were named for the Norse goddess of fertility and their lyrics took inspiration from history, mythology and more personal issues, without addressing veganism or straight edge directly because not all members follow the lifestyles. They have released five studio albums so far.

In late 2005, Buechner joined Canadian band A Perfect Murder for a tour, replacing vocalist Kevin Randel.
