EREB ALTOR
The founders of EREB ALTOR Mats and Ragnar grew up with Bathory's epic era in their hearts, so it comes as no surprise that their music would somewhat flaunt the influence of their house god Quorthon. So with Bathory's anthems as their spiritual foundation, they set out to find their creative and unique niche within the epic Viking metal genre.
It all begun 2003 when Mats and Ragnar heeded the call of the one-eyed elder to begin their epic journey and since then they have released 4 full length albums through I Hate Records, Napalm Records and Cyclone Empire.
Each and every release that has been unleashed to the masses has carried the legacy of pure Scandinavian Epic Metal from the heart. During these years Ereb Altor has developed their own unique sound within the Viking Metal genre and the ever increasing fan base is thriving.
In July 2013 the new album “FIRE MEETS ICE” will see the light of day. An album that will unite the harsher history of EREB ALTOR with the more epic side, building huge atmospheres using echoing choirs from the snow covered mountains which at times will be shred apart by fierce and aggressive parts with screams from the darkest forests of Scandinavia creating a dynamic and varied piece of art.
Fire Meets Ice is telling stories and legends from the Norse mythology and about thei nheritance of Scandinavia. Fire meets Ice will also be released on a gatefolded Vinyl.
During the first years Ereb Altor only made live appearances at festivals around Europe but since drummer Tord joined the band in 2012 Ereb Altor has been touring more and the number of live shows is increasing and so is the rumour of this fantastic live act where the audience will be drawn in to the atmosphere Ereb Altor is building with all the choirs and a massive wall of sound.
To do the grandiose compositions justice EREB ALTOR is using different session musicians. With a stage presence beyond belief and with war paint this is a live act you’re not willing to miss. Media has praised every release and Ereb Altor have been featured inseveral Metal Magazines such as Terrorizer, Rock Hard and Metal Hammer.
