Eiríkur Hauksson (born July 4, 1959) is an Icelandic heavy metal vocalist that is educated as a teacher.
Eiríkur is considered to be a talented vocalist, able to adopt various styles. He has been commended by metal enthusiasts for his ability to adopt the styles of various legends of metal, including, but not limited to Bruce Dickinson, Graham Bonnet, Ronnie James Dio and Joey Belladonna. He can also sing in a variety of styles suitable to pop and rock.
Eiríkur’s career as a vocalist began in earnest when the song “Sekur” he wrote and performed with the Icelandic rock group Start was voted the Icelandic song of the year in 1981. In 1984 Eiríkur’s metal group Drýsill, released the album “Welcome to the show” which was released in 1000 copies, which was a considerable feat for a group that published on their own and played music outside the mainstream.
In 1985 Eiríkur recorded two songs, “Gaggó-Vest” and “Gull”, written by Gunnar Þórðarson that both became wildly popular in Iceland. Almost overnight he had become one of the most popular singers in Iceland. Although his interest went with the heavy metal genre, he unpretentiously participated in the pop music scene in Iceland, participating in many group efforts in the 1980’s.
In 1988 Eiríkur moved to Østfold in Norway to become the vocalist of the power metal group Artch.

Someone needs to make a compilation or some other discography form from his music, I can't follow wherever he's at each time. I'd be very thankful. He's a great voice and a good composer - I'd really like to hear more music from him!
