HELLFIRE is a solo artist project of independent metal artist Erik Schrage (EAS), from Groningen, The Netherlands. His goal is to develop himself in every aspect that comes with creating music. In 2017 he collected all his studio materials and started a home studio. He writes his own lyrics, sings, and plays different instruments. Records everything by himself and also mixes and masters his own tracks. Each day he learns new studio techniques and develops his creating skills.

 

Recently he joined social media and created a website for HELLFIRE. His goal was to reach at least 1000 plays. That goal is greatly achieved with more than 100.000 plays worldwide. HELLFIRE’s 16 albums are: Godzilla, Dimension-X, Dead Men’s Territory, Venom, Wicked Ways, Six Stones Under, Rise Of The Underdog, Curtains Of Despair, Abomination, Close Call, 51, End Of Days, Igniting The Flames, Devil's Bell, Quid Pro Quo, Best Of Hellfire. All published under his studio name ‘EASRECORDS’.

 

Maybe his next step will be live performance, but at this moment he likes to focus on mainly creating music. He created more than 500 songs already. In the beginning he was mainly influenced by artists like Burzum, Immortal and Mayhem. He created a playlist on Spotify, called 'Metal Bonfire', which contains his favorite music. Soon more of his music will come to Spotify.
