Erei Cross was born in 2019, when the two founding members Adrien Grousset (Hacride, Carpenter Brut) and Laetitia Finidori, with a mutual passion for Rock and Metal music, decided to join forces and work on a new project. Initially they started as duo but later on Matthieu Guérineau (Microfilm, Myra lee, Captain Parade, etc..) joined the band as their live drummer.
In the first year of their existence, Adrien Grousset, composer and guitarist worked on a couple of songs and six of them were recorded and released as an EP titled “The Widow” in 2021.
Now in 2023, Erei Cross returns with their first full-length album “The Widow and The Others,” which is set to be released on May 05, 2023 via Klonosphere/Season of Mist. Throughout eleven tracks, the band offers an eclectic, dark and engaging sound encompassing a wide variety of styles, but non that can be described as full-on Metal. Instead their music floats between heavy rock, goth, electronic and alternative bringing to mind names like Queens Of The Stone Age or Royal Blood, but with a enchanting vocals performance that recalls PJ Harvey at times.
With a theme that circles around The Witch, Erei Cross draws all of its atmosphere, visuals and inspiration from the esoteric and symbolic imagery of modern witchcraft.
