"he took the stage name "Grim" and joined Immortal on the drums in 1993 right after they had recorded the Pure Holocaust album. He appeared on the cover and despite not playing on the album, was still credited. He played with Immortal two tours: “Fuck Christ” Tour and “Sons of the Northern Darkness” Tour, afterwards in 1994, Abbath and Demonaz decided that Erik had to leave the band, because he wasn't useful for the band's later career. In 1995, Grim was a founding member of the band
Borknagar and played on the band's first three albums. In 1996 and 1997, he recorded the two albums The Last Tormentor and
Under the Sign of Hell by
Gorgoroth.
Grim also played session drums on the never officially released album Nocturno Inferno in 1996. In 1997, he quit Gorgoroth and in 1998 he also left Borknagar, both due to personal reasons.
Grim committed
suicide on October 4th, 1999. He had attempted suicide several times, before finally succeeding with a
sleeping-pill overdose. His funeral was held in Møllendal Church Cemetery,
Hordaland County,
Bergen. It is said that his reason for committing suicide was related to his departure from Immortal, as there was a rumor that Grim didn't want to deal with it.
As a tribute,
Nargaroth wrote the song "Erik, May You Rape the Angels" for him, and Gorgoroth dedicated the album
Incipit Satan to him. The first annual
Hole in the Sky metal festival took place in Erik Brødreskift's memory and was organised by his memorial fund."
