Aerial Ruin

Aerial Ruin is the haunting solo project of Portland-based musician Eric Moggridge, known for weaving ethereal dark folk with introspective, melancholic atmospheres. Blending acoustic fingerpicking, poetic lyricism, and hypnotic vocal harmonies, Moggridge’s work often feels like a bridge between medieval balladry and modern doom-adjacent experimentation. He’s collaborated extensively with bands like Bell Witch (notably on their 2020 split album *Stygian Bough Volume I*), but his own discography—including releases like *The Bastard Wind* and the self-titled *Aerial Ruin*—leans into raw, intimate storytelling steeped in themes of loss, nature, and existential reflection. While shrouded in mystery, his music resonates as both deeply personal and eerily timeless.
