Ereb Altor

A three piece Scandinavian Metal band. In the early 1990s an underground band named Forlorn was born. They played a particular type of doom metal that blended together a wide spectrum of musical styles, including the epic sounds of Bathory’s Viking metal albums. As they evolved into a full-fledged doom act, some of the songs were filed away and the band’s name was changed to Isole. In 2003, Mats and Ragnar, decided to resurrect the old hymns and thus, Ereb Altor was officially born.

Originally formed under the name Nemesis in mid 2005 the band wrote their first song, ‘Battle of Cul Dreimne’ at their first full practice. The song had an unintentional Celtic leaning which was to permeate the band’s writing from then on. Originally taking influence from early Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy and Irish folk music, their self titled demo, Nemesis, was released in mid 2006. A collection of raw, energetic and twin guitar driven songs, it began to bring the band to the attention of the European true metal underground.
