It was one night early in 2006 when husband Adrian Erlandsson on guitar and wife Morrigan Hel began to sing Leadbellys classic ‘Where Did You Sleep Last Night’,from this they formulated the idea to start their own band.
Adrian began his career in a string of bands back in 1981 when inspired by Judas Priest’s Dave Holland he formed the ‘Black Nuns’ who evolved into ‘Berits Polisonger’ playing until 1986.There then followed a series of other bands including Thrash band ‘Penance’ in 1987 until becoming a founding member of ‘At The Gates’ in 1990. During his time with them he was part of the punk band ‘Skitsystem’,recording 3 EP’s between 1995/96.Adrian also had another two bands with ATG connections with ‘Terror’ who cut a 3 track demo and ‘Hyperhug’.In 96 Adrian formed ‘The Haunted’ with fellow ATG brothers Jonas and Anders Bjorler,cutting one demo in 97 and releasing one album in 98.Leaving late in 98 Adrian drummed for Swedish Black Metal purists ‘Nifelheim’ and numerous other bands.
In June 1999 he was approached by Cradle Of Filth and played drums on one track for the ‘Cradle To Enslave’ EP,before becoming a full time member,playing on no less than 20 albums/singles/dvd’s until May 2006 when he joined ‘Needleye’ playing on their album ‘Ode To None’ and some additional demo’s that were available on their Myspace page.
