He is known for his tenures in the bands Pestilence (1987–1990), Asphyx (1992–present), and Bolt Thrower (1994–1997). Van Drunen was Pestilence's vocalist and live bassist. He recorded two albums with the band before departing. He then joined Asphyx as the singer and bassist, but since 1992 has abandoned the bass to focus solely on vocals. In 1994, Van Drunen became the vocalist of Bolt Thrower. He did two tours with them, but never recorded an album. Some journalists consider van Drunen to be among the greatest vocalists in extreme metal. His vocals in Pestilence drew comparisons to the early work of Chuck Schuldiner of Death. His vocals on Asphyx records are said to be higher in pitch.
