Career
Viking managed to land a recording contract upon the completion of their second live concert, a feat practically unheard of in the clubs of Hollywood. After two records, Do or Die (1988) and Manitoba of Straw (1989), they disbanded. When Viking reformed in 2011, Eriksen did not participate.
When Viking finished recording their second album Manitoba of Straw, Brett Eriksen became a temporary replacement for Dark Angel"s Jim Durkin somewhere the east coast during the Leave Scars tour.
From this tour, Dark Angel released the live album Live Scars (which also featured Viking"s Ron Eriksen as a guest vocalist). When Viking disbanded, Brett joined Dark Angel full-time.
In 1991, he played on the entire Time Does Not Heal album, and soon after this, Dark Angel disbanded.
