about
An Elctrikchair performance is a uniquely fulfilling experience. The band, ELCTRIKCHAIR, [electric chair] was created in 2003, by siblings Andrew and Bobby Rodriguez, the name ELCTRIKCHAIR was never intended to be identified with 'electric chair' the former method of capital punishment, although the band has used the confusion to further its intended purpose. Then with the audition of Eloy Fernadez on Bass They decided to set the world on first with their first demo Thrash Militia in late 2003. Using pure elements of the classic sound it seemed Elctrikchair started to gain a loyal following. As the band grew they set out to do their first run of out of state shows which were good. They band began to change their style away from thrash more towards melodic death and black metal sound which had a better response than the previous demo. Then they entered flatline audio with producer Dave Otero to cut a ep Called Eternity Into Darkness which exploded in 2004. This ep got them invited to to covenant Milwaukee Metal fest that same yr. That is how Elctrikchair started to grow. When electric chair was initially suggested as a band name, the idea was nearly dismissed for its lack of originality and the liklihood that it was already being used by countless bands throughout the United States. Then 2005 lead to the bands 2nd ep Run From the Sun which had the new sound in place, a mix of finnish Melodic Death Metal and black metal. This was Eloy Fernandez's last album with the band before
