Biography
VETRAR DRAUGURINN, formed by guitarist/songwriter Eric Hazebroek (Pilgrimage, ex-Stream of Passion), exists since 2016 and has walked the narrow path of odd musical choices ever since. Conjuring their own sound by combining a wide variety of influences from the doom, gothic, and atmospheric metal. Unique and free from boundaries.
With an experienced and talented line-up, which besides Eric and Marjan is made up of Jim van de Kerkhof (drums // ex-All For Nothing, ex-Morning), Thomas Cochrane (guitar // Hologram Earth, Dystopia), and Arjan Heijden (bass // ex-Acrid, ex-Daeonia), VETRAR DRAUGURINN’s aim is to write honest and humble music, with a newly found and mature approach.
