HALLUCINATOR was forged in 2014 when guitarist Erik Schirado and vocalist Kyle May approached guitarist Eric Stucke to start a fast death metal band. Stucke channeled his love of '80s extreme thrash and proto-death/black metal into the primitive, nightmarish death that began to take shape in their practice space. Together with drummer Will Kovach and bassist T. Voidbringer, the band played their first local shows where Stucke began incorporating analog synth interludes into their set (now a staple between live songs and featured heavily on every recording since). By 2015, the band released their first demo Primeval Power via local Bay Area label, Transylvanian Tapes. A sixteen-minute onslaught of raw, ripping, dark thrash, the recording made its rounds as the band ravaged stages through the Southern California and Pacific Northwest underground opening for the likes of Master, Power From Hell, and Sewercide. Following a series of lineup shifts -- the band is now comprised of Stucke on vocals, guitar, and synths, Kovach, bassist Dave Rochmann (Negative Vortex) and lead guitarist Falko Bolte (Insanity) -- HALLUCINATOR aims to pervade its dissolution of dark consciousness throughout the dimensions of metal.
