Merrin Karras is the performance name of Brendan Gregoriy, for when he makes ambient electronic sounds born in analog synthesizers.
Fans of The Exorcist will recognize the names of Merrin and Karras as the two priests in the Stephen King novel and horror film. It’s a moniker adopted by Irish musician Brendan Gregoriy. He started out as a heavy metal musician before plugging in and creating techno music as I Am an Exit and Chymera. Merrin Karras is his vehicle for more ambient electronic sounds born in analog synthesizers. He’s more influenced by the German electronic sounds of Klaus Schulze than current EDM. He’s just released his debut album, Apex. Brendan Gregoriy talks about the metal exorcism of Merrin Karras.
