ErilaZ is a one-man side project of the Kuroshio Current guitarist, *ErilaZ. The project was started in 2005.
The intention of the project was to unleash the concrete manifestations of the deepest sources of *ErilaZ's inspiration in to the multiverse. *ErilaZ draws his inspiration from many sources. Runes, storms -- especially tornadic ones, nature and anti-modernism all share their part in *ErilaZ's musical repertoire.
The name *ErilaZ also hints in the direction of which is close to the heart of this artist. Very shortly put, ErilaZ is written in Proto-Germanic and has the meaning of a Rune-Master. The asterisk in front of the name is normally used on re-constructed words of which there is no certainty whether they existed in that particular form or not. With ErilaZ, it is used to mystify the name even more -- linguistically speaking, it is not needed because there exists age-old inscriptions carrying this name.
The musical career of *ErilaZ begun at the age of nine, when he was given his first guitar. Many years and tons of rehearse later, *ErilaZ was asked to join Kuroshio Current , a Finnish electro / industrial / ebm group. In 2006 Kuroshio Current was signed to UHOtrax .
