History


After guitarist Neill Freiwald left the band Stahlmann and the side project Sündenklang at the end of 2014, ostensibly due to time constraints, drummer Niklas Kahl followed in spring 2015, who, according to his own statement, “couldn't increasingly identify with the band”.

Together with guitarist Neno and bassist Marco, the first recordings began in the studio of Chris Harms. After Erdling was signed "surprisingly quickly" by Out of Line, according to Neill, they released their first maxi single Blitz und Donner in October 2015, followed by tours with Unzucht and Megaherz.

In January 2016 Erdling released their debut album Aus den Tiefen, in August of the same year they played for the first time at the M’era Luna Festival in Hildesheim. At this gig, the band played for the first time without their bass player Marco Politi, a few days later the band announced that Marco had announced his departure shortly before the festival and had not come to rehearsals, so they had decided on a replacement. On November 8th, Erdling introduced Nate Pearson as the new bassist. Her second album Supernova was released on March 17th, 2017. In January 2018, Niklas Kahl, who had switched to Lord of the Lost, was replaced by Christian Eichlinger. In February 2018, Pierre Anders replaced the previous bassist Nate Pearson. At the same time, the band announced their third album, Dämon, which was released in July 2018. On March 22nd, 2019 Erdling released the single Wir sind Midgard and announced that the fourth album planned for 2020 would be “different, faster, more Metal-heavy, but also deeper”. At the same time, the tour dates for the band's second headline tour were announced. In a video blog of his own, Freiwald stated that work on the new album had already started simultaneously with the production of the previous one. He also justified the departure of the bassist Anders for professional reasons. Freiwald will take over the bass himself in the future, so that Erdling will appear as a trio. On July 5, 2019, the second single In Namen der Krähe was released, in which singer Robert Dahn (Equilibrium, Minas Morgul) participated. A short time later, Robin Sem Vedrfölnir was hired as the new bass player. The third single Wölfe der Nacht was released in November 2019, where Chris Pohl (Blutengel) can be heard as a guest singer. Their fourth album Yggdrasil followed on January 10, 2020.
