Eric Sandalic, born and raised in Queens NY, is a fan of many different genres of music. He first gained an interest in music after being blown away at his first concert: RUSH at Madison Square Garden. He immediately began taking guitar lessons at the age of 12 and by the age of 16 his original heavy metal band won 2nd place in the Long Island Drum Center's battle of the bands held at Queens College. Several months later, the band took first prize in a similar battle of the bands held at the famed Calderone Concert Hall in Hempstead, NY. The band won 50 hours of recording time in a 24 track recording studio. This is where he met, befriended and learned how to record with future Grammy winner Ric Wake (Taylor Dayne, Twisted Sister, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Lou Reed) In 1988, he and legendary NYC bassist Danny Lilker (Anthrax, SOD, Nuclear Assault) formed a crossover side project called Extra Hot Sauce. That same year they signed with Peaceville Records in the UK that produced their debut 12" vinyl record, "Taco Of Death". The record went on to sell over 30,000 copies worldwide and still fetches a premium today on ebay. Sandalic got involved in the high speed audio tape duplication business for many years after and in 1995 began playing bass guitar with the Long Island death metal band Butchery. Butchery released a single full length CD before being forced to change their name due to lineup changes to Exuviate and eventually settling on Grotesqueuphoria where they signed with Destro Records and put out 2 full length CD's. During these years, Sandalic's death metal bands played events such as the Milwaukee Metalfest, the New Jersey Metalfest, Lamours, Sundance, Coney Island High, Castle Heights and many more. His bands had opened for some of the biggest death/thrash metal bands of all time including but not limited to Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Overkill, Nuclear Assault, Suffocation, Obituary, Cryptopsy, Deeds of Flesh, Immolation, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Dying Fetus and Nile.
In 2004, shortly after he moved from NYC to Tampa, he answered an ad for a band that was looking for a guitarist for a Pink Floyd Tribute. He has been with Wall Of Echoes ever since.
Today, Sandalic teacher Biology, enjoys going to music festivals and also plays guitar with a local funk fusion band, The Low Heavies.
