TALENT WE LOST

RIP Erik “Grim” Brødreskift (drummer of BORKNAGAR, IMMORTAL, GORGOROTH): December 23, 1969 – October 4, 1999 (age 29)
Grim joined Immortal immediately after they released their second album, Pure Holocaust. Although he did not perform at Pure Holocaust, he was present when the photo was taken and ended up on the album cover. His stay with Immortal was limited to two European tours, after which the band decided to let him go. As one of the founding members of Borknagar, Grim played on three albums: Borknagar (1996), The Olden Domain (1997) and The Archaic Course (1998). He was also responsible for drums on Gorgoroth’s Under The Sign Of Hell (1997) and on the EP The Last Tormentor (1996).
