Born from a growing disillusionment at the stagnancy, lack of conviction and lack of originality around them, Erowid sought to create a new musical extremity never heard before within the Scottish scene. Founded at the end of 2006 after the demise of their former band Ex Infernis by Chris B and helped by MCG, they set out to bring together the most extreme aspects of underground music into one unique blackened sound. With a passion for all extreme music and incorporating this broader spectrum (especially the electronic/industrial genres but also classical music and many others) into their metal roots, Erowid gained more musical freedom allowing them to create a darker and more extreme sound with aspects not so commonly found within the black or death metal scene. Inspired by their own personal misanthropic views and a hatred of religion, humanities attitudes and its disregard for the planet,and an appreciation of mind-altering substances Erowid were now set to unleash a new hell upon the world.
