Biography

Dope was formed in 1997, when Eisen met with brothers Edsel Dope and Simon Dope. Eisen brought in friend Preston Nash to play drums, and the band worked the NYC club circuit. In 1998, Dope was signed to Flip/Sony records, and Eisen moved from bass guitar to lead guitar, bringing in Acey Slade--who had first referred Eisen to Dope a few years earlier-to play bass. After the release of the album "Felons and Revolutionaries" (1999) the band toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Canada with acts such as: Sevendust, Kid Rock, Static-X, Slipknot, Disturbed, Chevelle, Fear Factory, Staind, and Alice Cooper. During this time, Eisen met Wayne Static and Joey Jordison, with whom he would later work. Eisen appeared in the Dope videos for "Sick" and "Everything Sucks". He split with the band in late 2000 due to personal and creative differences.
