Formed in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2016, Erdve play a corrosive blend of sludge metal and post-hardcore rooted in the city's underground scene, with members drawn from acts including Nyksta and Spirale. Their debut album Vaitojimas (2018) on Season of Mist established them as one of Eastern Europe's most confrontational extreme bands, a reputation sharpened on the abrasive follow-up Savigaila (2021). Lyrically, the band confronts domestic violence, systemic cruelty, and extremism, and they are known for performances in unconventional spaces such as a Soviet-era prison and a medieval Vilnius church.
