we're creeping out...

After seeing notable Portland acts including Witch Mountain in Los Angeles, Erik Erath (aka Erik E. Wrath, former guitarist for splatter punk legends Haunted Garage) moved back to his native soil in 2019 and quickly befriended drummer Matt "Weatherman" Weatherdon at a John 5 concert. The timely arrival of Vox fulfilled the vision of a female-fronted powerhouse such as Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, Black Moth and the aforementioned Witch Mountain.  With the addition of Luke Miller on bass, the lineup solidified and Nyxora was born.  

Their first performance in the Portland heavy rock scene was in October of 2021 at The Star Theater supporting Los Angeles acid doomers Old Blood. Nyxora have since continued to play locally and put themselves on the PDX map as a band to be on the lookout for. In spring of 2023 Nyxora recorded their self-titled debut LP with Rob Wrong at the helm in his own studio. Demonstrating their range of musical styles and influences, Nyxora isn't easily pigeon-holed into a single genre. Their sound is fierce, heavy, dark, evil and beautiful all at the same time.
