- Early life
Born to a Romanian Father, Adrian was born in Malmö, Sweden on 27 October 1970. Adrian's younger brother is Daniel Erlandsson, the drummer of Arch Enemy, and recently, Carcass. They both grew up together in Sweden and started playing drums at a very young age. He got his brother into drumming as Daniel admits "If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn’t be playing today.
He began drumming at the age of 11 when he got his first drum kit, and with friends began playing covers of classic rock songs. They also started playing with their music teacher at school, and eventually began to write their own songs and formed a band. Erlandsson went on to form Penance, a thrash metal band, which never recorded a demo, although they did record some rehearsal tracks.
- At The Gates
Erlandsson then went to University in Gothenburg, where in 1990, he joined the Swedish death metal band At the Gates. He was the band's drummer until they broke up, and received critical and fan praise for his speed and precision.
When asked what each At the Gates member contributes to the group's overall sound, bandmember Anders Björler said that Erlandsson "hit the drums hard". In 2007 At the Gates reunited for some festival shows in the summer of 2008 and headlining US tour which was dubbed "Suicidal Final Tour". They have more shows coming up in 2011.
- The Haunted
Erlandsson, alongside At the Gates members Anders and Jonas Björler, later formed The Haunted with Mary Beats Jane vocalist Peter Dolving. Erlandsson also played in Skitsystem. In 1999, Erlandsson left the band to join Cradle of Filth.
- Cradle Of Filth
It was originally intended that he only record one session with Cradle of Filth. But by the time he left the group, he had appeared on six of their albums. He departed the band in November 2006. According to an official Roadrunner press release, Erlandsson left with the intention of devoting his energies to his two side projects the now-defunct Needleye and Nemhain. "I have enjoyed my time with Cradle but it is now time to move on. I feel I am going out on a high as Thornography is definitely our best album to date".
- Recent years
In March 2006, Erlandsson formed Nemhain with his wife Amber Erlandsson. The band returns Erlandsson to his roots as a rock drummer. Nemhain recorded its debut album 'From the Ashes' in Studio Fredman during the late spring 2008 due for a release in April 2009.
In September 2006, Erlandsson joined Mexican death metal band Brujeria for some concerts in Spain, using the nickname "El Podrido" (The Rotten). Erlandsson is still with Brujeria, who are set to release a new album in 2010 or 2011. During the spring of 2006 Erlandsson joined Needleye for the recording of their yet unreleased debut album Ode to None. Needleye disbanded after the recording of this album.
In 2007, he played drums on the new Samsas Traum album "Heiliges Herz- das Schwert deiner Sonne" ("Holy heart - The sword of your sun") and he also played a handful of shows with them on the tour prior to the albums release in 2007. In 2007, he joined Swedish metal band Netherbird as guild member and recorded drums for the Lighthouse Eternal (Laterna Magika) EP, later as a full member for the albums The Ghost Collector 2008 and Monument Black Colossal 2010.
He recorded drums for British/Norwegian black metal group Code for the Resplendent Grotesque album 2009. In late 2007, Erlandsson recorded the drums for a 3-track EP for London band Green river Project. 2008 saw Erlandsson fill in for Deathstars on their tour in Europe supporting Korn. He recorded drums for Deathstars on their third album "Night Electric Night" on the bonus track "Night Electric Night" (Featuring Adrian Erlandsson). In 2008, Erlandsson joined At the Gates on the reunion for the "Suicidal Final Tour".
On March 16, 2009, he joined the British gothic metal band Paradise Lost under Jeff Walker's recommendation.
