wrazen.hell (Eric Wrazen) is a Montréal-based multidisciplinary artist working across electronic music, performance art, theatre, and multimedia, often exploring themes of darkness, horror, and the avant-garde.

Active in Montreal’s underground for years, he first gained recognition in the harsh noise scene as part of the duo Feedback Cowboys. He has also contributed original music to theatrical productions and is a member of the city’s cult experimental group, the Balloon Marsupials.

In the late 2010s, Eric served as Technical Director of the Festival de la Bête Noire – Horror Theatre Festival (2019–2021) and co-founded Quagmire Productions, a theatre company behind works such as How to Kill Your Baby 101 and Poe in the Snow. Through his project Handy Kaufman Productions, he created a series of DIY performance art happenings both live and online.

Following the pandemic, he co-founded the NDG Electronik collective, organizing monthly live electronic music events in Montreal’s west end. Their Synthpocalypse nights at the historic Wheel Club have become a hub for experimental electronic music in Montreal.

wrazen.hell continues to perform regularly at events such as Brain Freeze, Synthpocalypse, and Montreal Synth Society, contributing to the city’s experimental and underground electronic music scene.
