TALENT WE LOST
R.I.P. Erik "Grim" Brødreskift (BORKNAGAR, IMMORTAL, GORGOROTH drummer): December 23rd, 1969 – October 4th, 1999 (aged 29)
Grim joined Immortal immediately after they had released their second album, Pure Holocaust. Despite not performing on Pure Holocaust, he was present when the picture was taken and ended up in the album cover. His stay with Immortal was limited to two European tours, after which the band decided to let him go. One of the founding members of Borknagar, Grim played on three albums: Borknagar (1996), The Olden Domain (1997) and The Archaic Course (1998). He also was responsible for the drums on Gorgoroth’s Under the Sign of Hell (1997) and on the EP The Last Tormentor (1996).Â
