Eria d'Or is a metal band from Gorinchem, province of South-Holland, The Netherlands. The band has developed it selves strongly since its beginning in the winter of 1997/98. Now the band is matured with an own sound, lots of experience, three demos, an own rehearsal room and many successful shows. The band also played three times with inspiration Anathema in Amsterdam (Melkweg), Dordrecht (Bibelot) and Utrecht (Tivoli). Besides those venues, Eria d'Or also played in well known Dutch clubs like the 013 (Tilburg) and three times in the Baroeg (Rotterdam).
Through the different musical influences off the band members an own sound is created which is difficult too categorize. When a definition has to be given, than Melodic, atmospheric metal with doom and death influences will suit. Inspired by bands like Opeth, My Dying Bride & Anathema, the sound of Eria d'Or has been developed.
A equilibrium between quiet, romantic and loud, penetrating passages is present in the music of the band. The melody plays hereby always the central role. Through this interaction, which is sometimes achieved by abrupt breaks or sometimes by building up the tension through slow passages, the music never becomes boring and the listener is drawn into a story. Each songs has his own structure, resulting in a musical journey. The vocals are hereby equally important and are, just as the music, built up through different ways. Besides whispering and clean voice, a deep, heavy grunt and a penetrating scream are frequently used.
The lyrics are an expression of feelings. Grief, happiness, hate, bewilderment and depression are placed, with a lot of fantasy, in a nearly unreal world.
Eria d'Or has already recorded three eps:
- Songs of Sorrow and Agony
- The Black Well
- Memories
Although the band had a lot of positive reactions from the press, venues and public, the band is still not signed. Because of this Eria d'Or has to produce his own cds and promote the band by itself.
Put together the first music video for one of the songs, that being for the song "Eel Marsh House", which is based on the movie "The Woman In Black". Wasn't sure to name it that instead of 'Eel Marsh..." ...Eel Marsh House being where the woman in black 'lived', and now haunts it. Though, she seems to haunt the general area of the village as well as the House. If anyone catches her gaze, looks into her eyes....a child will die, usually from the family of the person unfortunate to look at her. As you see what happens to the story's main character at the end.
Hope you like it, that's about all for now, Cheers! Rob
