Azaghal was formed in '95 by Narqath and Kalma under the name Belfegor. One demo was released under this name ("Ancient Gods of Evil").

In '97 the band changed the name to Azaghal and that's when they recorded their first "real" demo, simply called "Reh.Demo". The next demo was released in March '98 called "Noituuden Torni" ("The Tower of Witchery"). That demo showed different sides of Azaghal, introducing synths and more melodies to the music for the first time. And for the last. In December '98 the third demo "Kristinusko Liekeissä" ("Christianity in Flames") was released and it was again more in the vein of the first demo,being just pure aggressive traditional black metal performed for His glory.

Then Azaghal released a 7"EP in February '99. The EP was called "Harmagedon". At the same year they released a 12", full-length vinyl. The album is called "Mustamaa" ("Mordor") and is limited to 300 copies. Even rawer than the EP, it features the most primitive material and production yet.

In 1999 Azaghal signed with the Kult label Evil Horde of Brasil for two full-length CDs. The debut CD "Helvetin Yhdeksän Piiriä" (The Nine Circles of Hell) is again a step towards the direction of the EP, being a lot faster than the 12" was. Death to Humanity!

Now comes their second release on Evil Horde Rec: "Of Beasts and Vultures" which is another killer Extreme Black metal release. Here you will find some new influences on the band, but the sound pretty much the Azaghal way of making music.

Azaghal has renewed the contract with Evil Horde Records for other two albums. They already finished the works on the next album which might be released in the summer/2003. And they are also planning some special releases for next year, so keep an eye on the band.
