Hailing from Montreal stands the blackened, death metal band ERIMHA. “Army” or “legion” in Sumerian culture, ERIMHA bases their haunting, melodic, merciless and operatic sound on ancient mythology and spirituality.
Formed in January 2010 by members Ksaos (drums), Kthien (rhythm guitar), Lykan (bass), Gore (vocals), and Alix (lead guitar), the five-piece began writing immediately, creating fast-paced riffs and menacing double pedals. In less than a year, ERIMHA wrote, pre-produced and recorded their first full-length album Irkalla in September 2010. Recorded in Garbage Studio by Chris Donaldson (CRYPTOPSY, MYTHOSIS) with guest vocals on track “The Legend of Ereshkigal” from Alissa White-Gluz (THE AGONIST) Irkalla put ERIMHA on the map as one of Montreal’s premiere death metal bands. By 2011, ERIMHA had canvassed the Canadian touring circuit, winning over metalheads with their commanding stage presence and impressive precision beyond their years, proving they are dedicated, hardworking musicians. With respect and a loyal following behind them, ERIMHA powered through a lineup change as Alix and Lykan were replaced by Disuternas, mathematical lead guitarist. Perfecting their sound with new members, ERIMHA began their upward trajectory to death metal glory. In early 2012, ERIMHA secured a deal with CB Entertainment and released their first single “Ascetic”, which demonstrated their new and matured technical abilities.
Constant touring and relentless practices landed ERIMHA in front of Victory Records execs, who in turn, were quick to add the Montreal-based act to their quickly growing roster in April of 2013, blown away by their hauntingly deep growls and larger than life stage presence. ERIMHA dropped their label-debut album titled Reign Through Immortality on July 9th and it was greeted with open arms by the metal community. With their sights set on the US, ERIMHA will be on the road with genre legends ABIGAIL WILLIAMS, ready to set fire to the monotonous metal of today. Keep your eyes on this foursome from Hell and let the chaos begin – ERIMHA will slay you!
